Dear Dr. Mark & Friends Forever IL Group,

What a pleasant surprise to see you all appear in the fist week of May
to celebrate "Christmas" with the patients.

You seemed to mesmerize them. It was the first time for most of
them and they sort of stared in unbelief but at the same time
enjoyed every moment of your visit. It's a good feeling for anyone when they
realize someone cares.

We thank all those who generously donated the gifts and
made the afternoon such a memorable time for the patients.

Some in June we hope to have the Annex completed.
Renovations and repairs will then start on the present old building.

Take care and may your message of cheer
and the Good News always continue.

It's a blessed work to being the
joy and love of God to others.

Thank you,

Dear Brother Mark,

I greet you and your team in the precious name of Jesus, our soon coming
Lord and King.

I must truly say that I have met a true friend. There is something in you, of
which I cannot explain, but I feel comfortable and blessed in talking to you!

On behalf of the children and staff, I must express sincere gratitude and
appreciateion, to you and your teams for the help you have given manually
and in cash over Nineteen thousand dollars ($19,000J).

I pray the the Lord will continue to pour out his blessing on you and the
ilovejamaica teams as you continue to minister the Word of the Lord.

Sincerely yours,

P. Brown/Administrator

Dear Pastor Mark,

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

I just want you to know how thankful and grateful I am for the joy and blessing
you and the ilovejamaica groups brought to me, my family and my friends here
in Jamaica.

Pastor Mark you are a gift from God, and we're truly blessed to have a friend
like you. In every thing you do and say I could feel the real God kind of love
pouring out. Just remember that you'll always have a friend back here in
Jamaica praying for you and your ministry.

You have left something with me that I will always remember and that is to
give. God bless you Pastor. Looking forward to see you and the teams soon.

Why Michelle Ellis Loves Jamaica in 2000?

"What does Jamaica mean to You?"

I was asked this question a few weeks ago and three weeks later with a
trash can of crumpled papers, I still have no words to describe the
emotions. I could tell you its my favorite spot, a chair on top the
Grandiosa Hotel overlooking Montego Bay and the beautiful Caribbean. It
could be my favorite driver, Roy Reid, who has a way of making everyone
feel special; then there's the people at Full Gospel who have become
such special friends. It may just be the children with smiles that could
brighten any day. All these would be true, but the driving force would
have to be God. With every trip He teaches me about loving Him and
others. For me Jamaica is a text book on learning to love and because of
this "I love Jamaica!"

I wanted to take a few minutes and let you know how much I appreciate what
you did for us and for Jamacia on our tip in July 2000.

I was thinking of you the other day and started remembering what took place
and what was accomplished with children and leadership training.

While I was in the Marine Corps I saw alot of motivated people, but none of
them can come close to the energy and effort Mark Muirhead put into
something. I was amazed watching Mark lead us all week and have thought of
it often. What you did was awesome thanks for leading people to 'spread the
love' in this special place - in the world.

Jeff Smith/Clayton, NC - Missions Trip 2000

"A big highlight for the trip was to see the number of kids grow each day
at the Green Heights Assembly of God/VBS. The first day (July 10, 2001) we
had 45 kids, by the fourth day (July 13, 2001) we had over 100 kids!!
Another highlight was going to the orphanage. I saw and held kids who had
been abandoned and spending time with them was life changing. It let you
know that there are people, expecially little children who need love in
Jamaica.
You should go on a ilovejamaica missions trip because it lets you see how
blessed we are in the USA. Also there are hurting people in the world and
as Christians it is our responsibility to go out and reach them. Going is
an incredible experience that you will never forget."
