To Seek and Save

For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost. Luke 19:10

Have you seen the movie August Rush? It’s the story of a child prodigy who is inadvertently abandoned by his parents at birth. However, years of growing up in the system doesn’t dim August’s dream of finding his parents. Eventually, he runs away to seek what he has lost. In the course of his journey, he meets Wizard who recognizes August’s special gift and seeks to capitalize on it.

Wizard asks him, “What do you want to be in the world? I mean the whole world. What do you want to be? Close your eyes and think about it.” In a blink August replies, “Found.”

It’s a scary thing to be lost. Jesus taught at least three parables concerning the importance and necessity of searching for what is lost, because what is lost is highly valuable. Friend, there are at least 12,000 lost children in Jamaica; they are homeless, abandoned, and often abused and they need to be found.

Please consider supporting the City of Refuge Children’s Home in Christiana, Jamaica. Help us to find what is lost but highly valuable, to bring them safely back to the Father’s arms.

A Challenging Proposition

Visitors to the City of Refuge in Christiana desire a life changing experience; spiritually, mentally, and physically. In essence, they want a challenge. On our fun day many brave the 930' zip line over YS Falls (like Sophia, pictured here) and testify of the exhilarating experience.

Itineration is definitely a challenge as well (spiritually, mentally, and physically). However, it can also be an exhilarating experience especially when faithful people brave the challenge with you.

For example, a businessman in our church feels so strongly about our ministry to the orphans in Jamaica, he has offered to match any new monthly commitment towards our missionary support dollar for dollar. That means if twenty churches commit to give $50 per month he will match it with a $1000 monthly pledge!

Are you up to the challenge?

Please consider braving the challenge with us by making a monthly commitment to our ministry. Your financial commitment combined with this wonderful opportunity, will in essence double your monthly support.

Thank you. Pastor Gary Ellison and his wife Christy from Sachse Assembly of God in Texas joined us recently to present two new Toshiba laptops to the students at New Vision City of Refuge. Their young adult group worked hard and sacrificed all year to be able to purchase these computers. All our kids from kindergarten through high school will be able to benefit from their generous gift. Thank you Pastor Gary and Sachse Assembly of God for reaching out once again to the orphans of Jamaica.
