Fun in the Son Festival

Sunday I arrived in Kingston, Jamaica for the Fun in the Son Festival with Andrew Palau. The Palau team invited me to join them here when our festival in Liberia, scheduled for March, was canceled. I will speak in schools, possibly a prison, and also have an evening of street evangelism in one of the main gang areas of Kingston. Kingston is known as the murder capital of the world. High unemployment, Columbian drug cartel drugs and money laundering, corruption and poverty have impacted this nation over the past twenty years. Many of the kids see a life of crime – drugs and gangs as a way out. Think of urban areas like L.A. during the 80’s and early 90’s with the negative influence of drugs and gangs.

We will creatively share the gospel in many schools over the course of the week. Part of the creative sharing will be with professional BMX and Skateboard athletes. They will share their testimonies and do stunts/tricks prior to my sharing the Gospel. A national CEF director has opened the doors to the schools and will work with the kids that respond to the Gospel.

Please pray that the Lord draws many hearts to Himself. Pray that God would anoint our words in a powerful way and that the kids see there is a different life they can lead – one of hope and not despair. Pray that the fragrance of Jesus Christ would so powerfully draw the kids away from gang life so they could live transformed lives.
