Ok, so it was more than just one word - but it wasn't many. Erin Putt emailed me using his cell phone and since it was a text message, it was very brief.
However, he did mention that unfortunately, the crew's schedule did not overlap well with Monica - the young missionary from the States who was there during our first trip to Top Hill. Since she was the one who allowed us to update the blog using her computer, this means that we will not have nearly the number of messages from the field.
While his message was not very clear, it appears that half the tin is up and about 30% of the front section is finished. This is great news as the team still has a few more days to complete their tasks.
Pray for safety and good work conditions as they near the end of their time there.

Jamaica Roof - Round 2!
On January 28, another 14-person crew left for Top Hill. This time, the goal was to not only finish up some of the punch list items left from before, but to further enhance the church so that the congregation and community could use it as fully as possible.
So why did we go again?
If you read through the last posts regarding the first trip, you heard us rejoice at how much God allowed us to do and how we were leaving it in his hands and those capable within the community (and possibly other teams from other churches) to finish the work we'd begun. However, due to logistical issues both in Top Hill and here in the States, a majority of the members from the original team felt called to go back as quickly as possible to do what could be done before the work we did November was undone by the fickle Jamaican weather.
God provided by not only allowing the schedules to work out for 10 of the original 14, but also in providing 4 more new members from CBFC to round out the group.
The crew is in Jamaica now and will return on February 4th. Please keep them in your prayers as they do what they have been called once again to do.
