Pray for Our Jamaican Friends!

Jamaica is already receiving high winds and heavy rain from an outer spiral band of Hurricane Dean. How bad will it get? Pause now and pray for Rev. Small, Mrs. Jackie, for the Facey's...and all of our Jamaican friends!

The big question is if the eyewall will move over the island. Unfortunately for Jamaica, Dean has two eyewalls, forming concentric rings. The inner eyewall is 15 miles in diameter, and the outer eyewall is 37 miles in diameter. Winds of Category 3 and 4 strength are blowing in both eyewalls, as seen in the latest data from the SFMR surface winds taken by the Hurricane Hunters. So, Dean's center has to pass more than 25 miles south of Jamaica for the island to be spared the worst of the hurricane.

The nation's capital, Kingston, lies on the southern portion of the island, and will be the hardest-hit major city. The tourist city of Montego Bay is on the northern part of Jamaica, and will fare much better.

Pray now for God to spare life and property in Jamaica from this terrible storm! Our friends in Jamaica so do much for the Kingdom with so little, so they don't need to lose anything else in this hurricane.
