New York, New York...

Our church has had the privilege to participate with New Song of Hope in Jamaica, NY to do missions in New York City. Calvary sent a team to the Big Apple this past Saturday after the team spent most of the summer raising money, praying, training and preparing.

Our team immediately became immersed in the culture, hustle/bustle and vibrancy of the city as we hoped off the plane, on to buses, onto subways and into the city on our way to our home we were staying in. After a long day of travel, we arrived at our home and got some much-needed rest in preparation for worship in the morning at New Song Of Hope.

Sunday morning we woke up early and headed into the city to New Song Of Hope. On the bus ride, we encountered a woman named Jill. You could tell she had a rough life and was in the middle of a struggle by her speech and her appearance. We were able to share the good news of hope of Jesus with her, pray for her and help her with some physical needs. No opportunity wasted on a 45 minute bus ride each morning. When we got to the church, we reconnected with the Adamson‘s after being apart for a year. It was good to hear about how God has been growing their ministry and how they have remained faithful to his call on their lives to minister to the people of Jamaica, New York. Their worship service looks very much like ours at Calvary: worship through song, prayer, reading scripture and preaching the word.

That’s just day 1. Imagine what else God is going to accomplish while we’re here. Stay tuned for more updates soon. Continue to pray for the Adamson‘s, Jamaica and the people in their community.
