What is Mission Jamaica?
Mission Jamaica is a short-term "vacation with a purpose" mission experience. The Mission Jamaica trip combines a service project with time for reflection and spiritual rest. It allows a person to experience an international mission field that is close to home, yet far enough away to immerse into another culture for a week.
Where do we go and what do we do?
Mission group works in the Montego Bay area at the following:
Riverside Basic School – Part of the Church of the Open Bible, Riverside has 102 children, ages 3-6 years. Missionaries work with the teachers and children, make improvements to the facility, and interact with the church and community. Activities range from pouring cement to reading to a child to setting up computers.
St. John’s Medical Clinic – Operates out of St. John’s Methodist Church. This facility serves the Montego Bay area providing free medical and dental health care.
Westhaven Children's Home - As a home to 81 handicapped children with varying degrees of abilities, Westhaven has need for on-going projects including gardening, construction, sewing, caring for the children, and assisting the Westhaven staff.
Place of Safety (POS) – Next to Westhaven Children’s home, POS houses approximately 75 boys ages 7 to 17. A combination juvenile delinquent facility and orphanage, POS is developing a helping ministry for the boys.
