Getting Ready...

Greetings, friends. First, thank you for taking time to follow the (first-ever) Bentonville, AR Mission Jamaica team on their journey to serve at Westhaven Children's Home and St. John's Medical clinic. We are a small team (Helen, Pastor Stacy, Phyllis, Bill & Lauren) but carry the excitement of a small army. We have held fundraisers, solicited donations and have prepared mentally and spiritually as best we can. WE ARE READY TO GO!

Our flight leaves at 6:00 Saturday morning from XNA (NW Arkansas Regional Airport). After a brief layover in Atlanta, we will arrive at MBJ (Montego Bay, Jamaica) around 11:45 am. We will be picked up by one of our favorite pastors on the island of Jamaica (Pastor Percy or Pastor Douglas) and will be transported to our home-away-from-home, Sunset Beach Resport.

We will spend Saturday getting acclamated to the new climate and oriented to our hotel, meeting our teammates from Minnesota and resting up for 5 very busy (very LONG!) days in the community of Copse. Once we get settled, we will be sure to plug in and log on to give you an update on the day.

Please pray for safe travels and calm spirits as we prepare for our adventure.

Peace!
