What is Mission Robin's Nest?
It is a short-term mission experience serving youth at Robin’s Nest Childrens Home. Robin’s Nest is a place of healing as many of the children have experienced malnourishment, neglect and abuse in their past.

How do we get to Mission Robin's Nest?
Members of the mission team fly into Montego Bay, Jamaica.  They will be met at the airport by representatives from Robin's Nest and transported by van 45 minutes north to "The Nest."
 
What projects do we do?
Volunteers with a heart for serving children will serve in various capacities including:
     Assisting pod parents with cleaning and chores
     Light construction projects in need of: painters, carpenters, plumbers, masons,
