Goodbye Montego Bay, Hello Kingston

Monday evening, we sailed away from Montego Bay, Jamaica and arrived in Kingston, Jamaica yesterday afternoon. We spent four weeks in Montego Bay and now will be spending five weeks in Kingston. This is the longest we'll be in one country since we left Denmark a year ago! Montego Bay was an incredible port for the ship. In our four weeks there, we had 83,474 visitors! And considering the population of Montego Bay is about 96,000, I'd say that's pretty amazing!! The most exciting part of Montego Bay is the thousands and thousands of school children that came for our school programs. We had 16, 513 children attend one of our our many school programs that we put on while in Montego Bay. Our school programs are quite incredible. We can fit about 400 kids into our theatre where they watch a really cute play about pirates searching for the "greatest treasure" which turns out to be the Word of God. We also play games with them, tell them about the ship and share about the love of Jesus. We thank God that all 16,000+ of these children heard the message of Jesus. Thank the Lord for what He is doing in Jamaica!
