Child-Like Faith

Today, we traveled back to the town where we played volleyball and painted the church. We visited the Canaan Primary School and got to hang out with students in Grades 1-5. Upon arrival, the students lined up and walked to the assembly area. The principal welcomed us and we shared a few worship songs with the students. Dave (SCORE rep) shared with the students and then we headed to the field for games and activities. Our students used a giant parachute, frisbees, soccer balls, kites, and rhythm games for entertainment. I've included just a few pictures below...but this was such a memorable experience for our entire team. The kids were incredibly respectful and wanting to give us tours of their classrooms. It was very tough to leave them.

After lunch, we headed back to Deeside to participate in a soccer match and host an Easter egg hunt. A afternoon rain shower hit and made a mess of the field, and it definitely hampered our abilities on the field. The team competed hard, but lost to the host team 3-1. After de-mudding, the students went to hide eggs in the field and then supervised the scavenger hunt. It was a great end to the service opportunities on the trip. Our evening concluded with another amazing meal and some quality team time. We huddled around the pool with the evening sky above us. Most students shared memories/experiences from the trip that impacted them while adults offered words of encouragement. Celine and Zoe led us in some worship songs, and Landon ended our time with a word of prayer. It is amazing to see how the Lord is working in our team. Everyone is resting up for a big final day in Ocho Rios tomorrow!
