Greetings from sunny and warm Jamaica;
We arrived July 22 and came to our old apartment in Discovery Bay. Our Landlord’s nephew has a car for rent. We rented it for 6 days while we looked for a car to buy. We found the one God had saved for us, more later.
We met with a pastor in Ocho Rios who is looking to reopen a school there and is very open to the ACE system.
We went to Papa Jack’s Funeral on Sunday July 28. It was good to see so many old friends and to pay our final respects to the man who shaped our lives so mightily. His ashes are buried beside Mama-san on the mountain above the Mission house.
What can I say about our love for Papa Jack. He lived with us in the Parsonage in Lamong while Winona was in the Nursing Home in Sheridan. We lived with him in the Mission House in Golden Grove And then in the house in Discovery Bay. A total of almost 10 years. I served under him as an associate pastor in Lamong. I have told many people that he was the most Christ-like man I ever knew. His influence on us is immeasurable. He told us many times that he wanted to live out his final years in Jamaica. We were saddened to part with him in 2022 when we returned to the USA. Much thanks to Kevin, Mrs. Norma, Gavin, Moses and others who cared for him to the end.
Tuesday July 30 we went to look at the 5 acres in Moneague that a Pastor wants to donate to build an ACE Learning Center on.
We drew up an initial proposal. The main need is trusting Jesus to call forth laborers, Teachers, Administrators. It is easy to get 'the cart in front of the horse', but Jesus knows.
We could have 1000 ACE schools up and ready, but without Teachers and Laborers...
Please Pray for workers to be called.
We met with this same Pastor on Monday, August 5, at the Ministry Center in St Ann's Bay, that he was selling. He had a vocational school there for many years. When Covid hit he moved the school to Moneague where he lives. The property has set empty since then. It is gated with 4 large buildings, 2 are 2 story. Wow! He said “I woke up at 4:30 this morning and prayed. The Lord told me I should revive the work in St.Ann’s Bay.” Pray that the Lord’s will be done on this property.
Also, that week, we met with a Pastor in St. Ann’s Bay who wants to donate her church to be used as an ACE Learning Center during the week. Pray for guidance and provision.
Toward the end of that week we met with the Overseer from Bog Walk we've mentioned, who is currently teaching children and Adults to read, under a tent! Please Pray for wisdom here.
Remember we were waiting to see the vehicle God had hand-picked??
We bought it, sight unseen, because we both believed this was the one. We're not disappointed!!
It is a 2008 Honda Odyssey. So blessed! It is a miracle car. The seller, a pastor in Mandeville, wanted to sell it 6 months ago but couldn’t find the title. He had to apply for a lost title and it took 6 months. He had just gotten it when he heard we were looking for a car.
This last year God has been grooming and preparing us to be able to go in a completely different direction in ministry. We still don't see the whole picture, but enough to know we can't do anything without God empowering us with His love, discernment, wisdom and authority..... for starters.
Hand in hand with that goes prayer partners. You make it possible, by holding us up to the Father in prayer.
We need a Prayer Posse to surround and cover us in prayer when needs are presented.
Will you be a part of a Prayer Posse?
A spiritual tsunami of evil is at the door and has started to cover Jamaica. Only a wall of righteousness will hold it back. This will not happen passively. No, it will happen when God's people see it, repent for the nation, and then rise up as an army of God, actively, purposefully, holding it back.
WHAT IS this tsunami?
The UN has 'Agenda 2030'. DEI is funding this new curriculum in Jamaica, that will be indoctrinating the children in all manner of Alternative Life-style. They are sending teachers to do this from Canada, India, Ghana, Philippines, and other countries. I'm pretty sure the Jamaican teachers won't teach this. Please Pray!!
HOW DO God's people make up this wall of righteousness?
First, pray. Then in Jamaica, unite across the denominational lines, work together, build the kingdom and save our children....
....by starting an ACE Learning Center in every community, so together we can train our children in the Biblical mindset, raising up Godly leaders out of these Centers, to re-infiltrate back into every aspect of the nation.
We are still praying for 50 Pastors that share the urgency of this vision.
We are still asking God for 1,000 Christian ACE Learning Centers across the Island.
The time is now or never, to pray and stand up against this diabolical, anti-Scriptural agenda, targeting our children.
Since our last newsletter and update we are now incorporated in the state of Indiana as a non-profit under the name: The God Size Vision Inc.
We have an EIN with the IRS and have received our 501c3.
There is now a new (The God Size Vision) bank account at Chase and a new (The God Size Vision) PayPal account.
Your options for giving are easy and streamlined now.
A 1-time gift of $2500 can cover the cost of PACEs and Score Keys for 10 students.
Approximately, another $2500 would cover building student offices, buying chairs etc. and
Administrative / Supervisor Training.
We can firm up the cost as we get estimates. Prices are ever on the rise.
Money that is donated for starting Learning Centers will go to cover these things.
The ongoing operational costs of each Learning Center, including teacher compensation, lunches, field trips etc., will come from tuition and fees put in place so they can be self-sustaining.
A designated, regular, monthly love gift will help build the Kingdom.
You can now receive receipts for your donations.
Will you ask God how He wants you to join Him with your finances, in what He is doing in Jamaica?
I want to say a heartfelt 'Thank you' for all donations given toward Learning Centers and a vehicle in Jamaica.
Blessings,
Ed and Celeste Hobelman
