Voyagers

Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World. -Christopher Columbus

In May of 1494, Christopher Columbus sailed west and came upon the region we now know as the West Indies. Recently our own young explorers visited Columbus Park in St Ann’s parish where this famous voyager landed. Lorraine Beaton, our school teacher and pastor’s wife, led our band of discoverers to their hideaway at Chatham’s Cottage in Montego Bay and then on to a variety of places including the airport, the beach, and of course KFC.

The children enjoyed themselves immensely and appreciated the fun and spiritual guidance they received on a retreat designed just for them (no big kids allowed!). This could not have been possible without the gifts and financial support we receive from you on a monthly basis. Many local pastors and businesses also gave generously and for that we are rejoicing.

We have a busy summer scheduled with the teens attending the Assemblies of God Youth Camp next month while other children will be enrolling in summer school. The cost is approximately $50 per child. Would you please consider an extra offering this month to send a child to camp or to summer school? Use the City of Refuge account number, 6825046(42) and simply designate your offering.

The voyage of Christopher Columbus was a costly one. He needed others not only to believe in his dream but to invest in his journey. When you pray and give financial support to New Vision City of Refuge you not only believe in the dream to help wayward travelers find the New World you are investing in the journey as well.

The expedition continues.
