Pastor Titus writes..... The term ‘Yardi’ comes from the community housing started in Kingston. A common area known as ‘the yard’ was used by everyone for cooking, etc… If you were part of the community, you were called a ‘Yardi’. When someone tried to charge me for parking the other day in an area where you can park free, a Jamaican friend of mine exclaimed ‘de nuh no u yardi’ which being interpreted means ‘they don’t know you live here’. Well, Tammy and I finally received our driver’s licenses and are now officially “Yardi’s.” Continue to pray for us as we bond and blend in with the Jamaican community. And don’t be surprised if when you see us in the States we talk a little different than normal.
Pastor Titus and Tammy will be in the U.S. for a mini-furlough of six weeks beginning the end of May. They will be at GBC some time during that six weeks.
