Meet Racquel
We have the great privilege of assisting a few students with their educational needs. Here's Racquel's story . . .Racquel is a single 19 year old, who has been receiving education support from people in our church in order to complete her pre nursing classes. Her history is a difficult one, involving making some poor choices in life. Medically, she was told she could never conceive a child as she was born with her entrails on the exterior of her body, and now has abnormal positioning of her abdominal anatomy, as well as having rheumatic fever as a child.

Meet Lucy Hayward
Lucy is a lovely, young at heart lady from Thetis Island, BC who loves the Lord! She is pleasantly surprised that God has asked her to join us on this adventure, but we welcome her willing heart and look forward to all that she has to offer to our team, and to the Jamaicans! We know she too will be blessed in return! Thanks God for such diversity among us!
How great is our God!
Psalms 33:8 “Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him!”

Capernwray Team 2013
Once again a group of Capernwray students is excited to join the Joshua's Well team going to Jamaica. We are looking forward stepping out in faith and practicing what we have learned all year so far that Jesus came to live inside of us so that He can work in and through us. That is what we are expecting as we go and serve in HIS kingdom being prompted in our hearts to serve Him in this very unique context.
