From
the sea to the mountain tops you will experience what God is doing on the
mission fields of Jamaica. You will be escorted by experienced Christian
leaders who will make certain you become part of a strategic advance to spread
the gospel.
God has placed a special burden on our hearts for
the people of Jamaica. Since 1988 we have seen many acts of love by caring
Christians just like you!! Join with us today for the most rewarding
experience of your life.
About Us:
-
We
are a grassroots Christian Organization shaped by our belief that Christ is
alive and can be served directly by serving those in the greatest need
...Matthew 25:40, James 2:14
-
Our
approach to helping those in need is to help change their circumstances by
bringing the "Good News" as we distribute clothes, shoes, medical goods, and
Bibles through out the island.
...Matthew 25:35-36
-
We
believe that if all denominations come together in unity, reaching out to
the needy, the hungry, & the lost of Jamaica, there will be great change for
the glory of God.
-
We
were called to the island in 1986 by the burden that God placed on the heart
of the founder and now directors
-
For
19 years we have hosted teams of people that have used their giftings to
build houses, schools, soup kitchens, provide VBS, Bible stories, teach at
one of the Jesus for Jamaica schools, and serve at two soup kitchens.
Mission Statement
The
sole basis of our beliefs is the BIBLE, God's infallible written word. And
that every man is in need of salvation & that salvation of man is wholly a work
of God's free grace & is not the work, in whole or in part, of human works or
goodness or religious ceremony.

EARLY WINTER NEWS AND NOTES
NEW BASE CAMP
We have a new base camp....it is located in Culloden by the sea. We will be able
to sleep over 100 people with showers and restrooms for each unit. The kitchen
is large with all the equipment we need. A large meeting room and yard is
included. The views are spectacular. We will miss our old base camp but we were
outgrowing it and so many repairs were needed. The new facility is brand new and
has its own private beach.
SOUP KITCHEN
The soup kitchen is up and running. Many have given their heart to the Lord.
Five ask to be baptized and arraignments are being made for that wonderful day.
Forty to fifty people each feeding with singing and joy abounding. We had
petitioned UDC for the use of the new Community Center when it became available
for our soup kitchen. We have waited for over a year but God is faithful and now
we will be moving to our new kitchen. Where we have been holding the kitchen, we
had no water or electric. In the new facility, we will have that plus
bathrooms...PRAISE GOD !!!! We are donating tables, chairs and new cooler to the
Community Center with the hope that many will benefit from the items.
NEW CHURCH
A church has developed out of the soup kitchen and now services are
being held each Sunday. This church is for people who could not otherwise afford
t he clothes to go to a Sunday service. In Jamaica, you must wear fancy clothes
to attend and most that are coming to the new church don’t even have shoes.
Please pray that many will hear and be received into God’s Kingdom.
ECONOMY WORSENS
The dollar here in Jamaica is sliding and the prices of goods are
increasing. With this as everywhere in the world, the people are suffering. We
can only pray that things will get better soon. It is heartbreaking to see
children suffering. Please pray for them as they toil to eat and survive.
