Hello! I understand the feeling of having to tread carefully on such a subject as this. I just want to let you know the video was a blessing. And I want to encourage you to stand up firmly and unapologetically for your Christian faith and values. You definitely achieved something with this video. I’m writing all the way from Cameroon - Central Africa. Looking forward to connecting in person whenever I will be in Portugal. Keep up the work u are doing.
Thank you for such kind words Agbor! I REALLY appreciate it! Sending love too you in Cameroon. If you do visit Portugal, feel free to reach out. I am better reached via my instagram @jamaicanvagabond . God bless you and your family
My friend who just moved to Mexico was talking about this. It's really hard to find fellowship when you're traveling. Surely someone somewhere has made an organization. If I find one, I'll let you know! 😉
come to hawaii!! i'm starting my solo travel journey and couldn't be more excited, we DEFINITELY need more christian ways of contacting (true christians, true travelers) maybe you could make a discord or something!
As someone who travelled to Jamaica to study three years ago and is seeking to begin travelling around for photography I struggled to find church groups or people that genuinely felt like Home. Not in terms of the same culture but that my spirit said yeah this is somewhere we can grow and be nutured. I have had terrible luck with church groups with most of them being far crys from the loving embrace I really expected . So for most of my life in JA i spent 'nomadic' in my walk and just had a group of friends I would break bread with and so on. So I totally get not having that community to really be encouraged by and challenged by as well. I pray you would find one or that the Lord grant you the capacity to build one for sure.
You explained this perfectly. I resonate with what you have said!! Esp. the part about going where your "spirit said yeah this is somewhere we can grow and be nutured". Thank you for sharing Keenan! I will keep you in my prayers as well!
Not someone that travels, but I'm I'm a student in a foreign country. I will say that I had 0 issues in regards to finding a church. Been going to one for months now and from day 1 they looked out for me, up until this day. They say that whatever assistance I need, I can call on them and they've done just that. The youth group as well. However, outside of the church, I don't know anyone that's a Christian. Mainly, I don't seek out anyone on the basis of them being a Christian you know? Besides, it's difficult to find any in the schools. Where I am, it's not like Jamaica where you can look at someone and assume they're a Christian. You'd have to be verbal and say, yes! I am a Christian, a child of God. Plus certain acts of kindness I'd say is just a trait we should all have, so I don't think that even can be used to say that someone is a Christian. To stand out, you'd literally have to put yourself out. That's someone that most, including myself, struggle with. Worst being an introvert and not someone that's social. 🤷🏾♀️
Oh, and the church I attend isn't my denomination, However, we share similar beliefs. I think there's only 1 or 2 things that this denomination believes in that mine doesn't teach.
That’s really great that you found a church!!! It’s such a blessing ! I have no doubt it helps a lot with your process being there and adjusting . You’re so right about being able to “spot” a “Christian” much easier in Jamaica hahaha I hadn’t really thought about it in that way, but you’re spot on!! 😂 Finding Christians outside of the church setting I agree is much more difficult.. it’s easy to blame ourselves too judging our outgoingness on a scale but the sad reality too to consider is that the world is moving more and more into a “secular” lifestyle … which is an inevitable variable in our everyday struggle as Christians including finding other Christians outside of a church setting .. Thank you for commenting !! Your experience has been insightful! 🧡
You're right about the smoking and drinking. 🤣 Young people really party alot. Never done either and I won't ever. I don't see the appeal plus I'd like to not set myself up for early organ failure.
Smoking, drugs and all is very fun, but partying not so much, but drugs in general can lead to real deep bonding. I’m Christian and use drugs, do tattooing etc. no reason to exclude things from life that I personally enjoy.
You are probably trolling, but I will just comment so that others who are genuinely curious understand my perspective. that I don't share your opinion because the Bible is very clear on a Christian's way of life. Have a good day!
Churchianity, christianity and believing to Bible, all are different. You find "christians" but not true "christians" because never had much true believers in human history. Remember read your Bible every day, so I wont be only one who do that.
I totally agree ! There is a big difference between “Christians” and True Christians. And of course , reading the Bible everyday is so important. Thank you Ismo
I’d love to hear your own experiences below in the comments ! Feel free to share any resources that you think anyone will be able to benefit from !

Are you serious? Are you joking with this comment?
Better watch your blaspheme against God or else...
@@Aly-yt7td what’s wrong with enjoying drugs, tattoos and Christianity? It’s a killer combo of all thing good.

@@ShauntelAngelica i am not trolling, i Believe freedom if choice is the best thing, and no drugs are harmful for your faith 🖤
Very intelligent
Thank you 🧡
Tried to link up with you.
But you playing lol.
