Update From Jamaica Christian School For the Deaf

[I received this message yesterday from Sophia Reid, Director of the Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf, a Mission Discovery partner. Maury]
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in our time of troubles.

Many of our staff and students are down with the flu, they are weak, have high fever not eating and having lots of pain. A lot of doctor visits and we keep running out of medication. The Lord is truly our rock and our physician, night and day.

A time for everything under the sun and its our time for cars to break down. Mary and some of our students was on their way to school on Monday January 12, when the wheel flew off and over took them.

God was and is our protector and also our mechanic, they travelled down a mountain and would soon travel down another mountain side when God stepped in. Praise God for His mercy all is well.

We will lose another of our teacher come the end of this month, Miss Kesha Robinson will leave because of personnal reason. Now at this time we need four (4) teachers.

The evil one is trying to throw us a curve ball but with all of this, we continue to keep the faith and try to encourage each other to never give up because God will never give up on us, as we continue to do His work.

Two teachers are here from Sam Sharpe Teachers College doing their teaching practice, we are so happy to have them at this time, they will be here for three months.

Our graduating class starts their work experience today, they are very excited.

The pit for the staff apartment was dug but needs more fund to put cover on it, right now its uncovered and we would love for it to be covered as soon as possible, it will cost $2000.00 US.

We ask that you continue to keep us in your prayers.

Yours in Christ,
Sophia Reid
Administrator/Plant Manager
