My Name is Seth Thompson

Hello there, my name is Seth Thompson and welcome to my blog. I am going to do this blog to help keep those who I love updated on what is going on in my life as I serve in Jamaica this next month. Missions has been a big part of my life, and it is a passion i feel called to pursue. I have been so blessed to visit and work with the people of Jamaica, and look forward to seeing what God has in store for the island of Jamaica and this boy from the south. Please feel free to join me on this journey through this blog as I walk this road God has called me too. Thanks for all your prayer and support.

VBS Galore!!

Today was the 2nd day of VBS at Burnt Savannah Church of the Nazarene.  Wooster has done a great job with the organization and planning of the VBS, and they are doing a fantastic job of carrying it out.  Yesterday, we had about 120 kids come out to VBS.  That was a lot, and in the past we would usually have that many by the end of the week.  Today, we had over 200 kids.  It was crazy.  We are a little worried about how many kids we will end up with by the end of the week.  As I said earlier, the Wooster team has done amazing so far, but it has been very difficult to keep the kids under control.  It is something we all have to work at together, and is definitely a challenge.  It has been fun though, and I have enjoyed seeing some of the kids that I knew.  Please pray for us this week as we continue to work with the kids, that God will speak through a loving touch, or even speak through a stern voice.

Last night, we went to the courts.  It was my first time down there since I have been in Jamaica.  We had a good time of sports and playing, but left probably about 10 minutes to late, as we had to walk back in the dark.  We will not make that mistake again.

I am so blessed to be here, and am so thankful that I have had this opportunity.  The time is flying by and soon I will be returning to the states.  I have learned so much, and look forward to continued growth and development.  Thanks for your support and prayer!!
