Touring Kingston and Hanover Street

Tim Yarbrough, left, and Andy Morris, right, meet with Rev. Franklin Small during a tour of Kingston on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

Tuesday was spent touring the City of Kingston and visiting Hanover Street Baptist Church, among other locations. Rev. Franklin Small serves as pastor of both Hanover Street and Gardener's View Baptist Churches in Kingston. Hanover is more than 180 years old and one of the historic Baptist churches in Kingston.

While much of this trip's discussion focused around the construction project at Gardener's View, there are evangelism and ministry opportunities planned for both churches during spring and summer projects.

Above is Rev. Small with children from a day school that is operated through Hanover Baptist in downtown Kingston.

Thank you to Mission Jamaica and all those involved for the work that you do. I have just watched Reverse Missionaries on bbc iplayer, and it is an inspiration to the church in our nation, to get up, and share the life-changing faith in Jesus that we have. It is no longer something to keep in the church, but to take out onto the street. To engage with people in the community on a relational basis, and to show and share with them the great news of Jesus Christ. My prayer is that this will start a wave of action by British Christians, to be truly living for God, as I have seen this evening. God bless the work you do, and the lives you have changed for God.

I also watched Reverse Missionaries on the bbc and found it inspiring. This man Franklin is just filled with the joy of the Lord and not ashamed to preach the gospel to anyone and be friends with people - what a role model for Christians in UK, we need this sort of thing, the passion, fire to spread the Gospel in UK. Thankyou Franklin, Thankyou God.
