Jamaica, Jamaica!!

Dear Family and Friends,

    I hope this letter finds you in great health, and complete enjoyment of the springtime sun. I would like to begin by giving you all an update of the recent happenings in my life. I am now approaching the end of my 2nd year at the Florida State University as a Family and Child Sciences major, and I am thoroughly soaking up all the life lessons I have been learning.While here in college, I have found a strong body of believers that have really helped to spur and further my relationship with Christ, and reaching the lost with the Gospel.

Moreover, as the summer approaches, I have been given the wonderful opportunity to embark on a mission trip to Jamaica with my church, Every Nation Tallahassee. For one week (May 26th - June 1), myself and other members from my church will be working on various projects at the New Generation Christian Camp in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica. New Generation Christian Camp (NGCC) provides a campsite that is frequently utilized for children summer programs, church retreats, as well as team building projects for other organizations. The mission of NGCC is not to solely meet the physical needs of individuals, but also to provide a location where the older generation can impact and lead the newer generation in greater spiritual devotion to Christ. That being said,  the goal of this mission trip is to further the construction of the new sleeping cottage, assemble a GaGa ball pit ( a new ball game for the children), bring donated goods to Chester basic school, and hopefully get the opportunity to visit Dunns River Falls. The completion of these projects will greatly affect the lives of not only the volunteers, but most importantly positively impact the lives of each and every individual or group that spends time at this campsite.

Family and friends, I am writing this letter in hopes that you will join me on this amazing adventure. First, I would like to request your earnest prayer as embark on this journey. Please take time to pray for the team’s safety during our travel and lodge, as well as strength to diligently work on these projects. Additionally, I would like to ask that you partner with me by considering to donate to the costs that accompany this project. As of now, I am seeking to raise $800 dollars, which will serve to cover all the project, lodging, and meal expenses. Will you join me in making an eternal difference in the lives of these individuals? Every prayer and donation will be tremendously appreciated.

With Gratitude,

Diana
