Jamaica Medical July 2018

We have arrived safely in Kingston, Jamaica.

Thursday and Friday were medical clinic days. We help Upper Room Community Church to provide medical care to their neighbors in Grants Pen. While the people are gathered on the church campus, we present the Gospel in clear terms, we engage in conversation, and we pray with those who are in need. While we know that medical care is important for physical well-being, but we are very aware that the greatest gift we can offer is for the spirit. We are disciple-makers first. Over the two day clinic, many heard the Gospel and many responded by surrendering their lives to Christ.

One of our goals in this trip is to shift roles with Upper Room. For several years, Stafford Crossing has brought a big team and a lot of resources to make the clinic happen. This time, we have relied heavily on Upper Room and the local community to carry the load. They have rallied and done an amazing job. Upper Room Community Church is presenting a medical clinic in Kingston and Stafford Crossing is assisting. Our prayer is that the community will see their local church as the place of hope and healing. Upper Room has really stepped up. I believe they have even been surprised by what they are capable of.

It’s great to follow the lead of a great church serving a great God.
