Livingston Christian Schools Home

Every time we’ve had a team go to Jamaica the results have been inspiring and life changing.  This year was no different as our students and chaperones spent a week being inspired and directed by God while inspiring and caring for others.  The trip was delayed by the winter weather, but eventually the group found a way to leave from two different airports: Detroit and Louisville. The temperature difference between their departure and arrival in Jamaica was approximately 80 degrees.  So, it wasn’t difficult to adapt quickly to the beautiful island and its temperature. While this is not the venue for recounting all that occurred in Jamaica I can share a few of the highlights including multiple baptisms, several days at West Haven (a home for the physically impaired),  and one of our students giving her life to Christ. That alone made the trip worthwhile. While the Jamaica team was engaged in encouraging people in the Caribbean, the remaining students who weren't able to make the trip were engaged in meeting needs locally. Six of our students spent their days working at Salvation Army, Gleaners, Habitat Resale, and Wellbridge.  To top off our time of service, this week we are collecting food goods for families in Livingston County that are struggling. It’s part of what LCS is because we are determined to follow God’s directions for our school and our personal lives. It’s encouraging to know our students are learning to serve for the right reason, obedience to God. A quick thanks to Pastor Kris Mavin who led this year’s Jamaica team.  This was the fifth time he has taken our students down, and each time he was used by God to produce spiritual growth in every student. They don’t come any better than Pastor Kris.
