Your prayers and support have provided missionaries the rest care, and support that they need to be effective and healthy as they share the Gospel aroue worlde.

More Steps Ahead for the ministry in 2027.

Springfield Church, Jamaica

During the upcoming spring and summer, we will have the honor of encouraging Christs' Church in Jamaica. Hurrican Melissa brought devestation to many churches and schools throughout the western part of the island. Since relocating to the Hocking Hills, we have begun worshiping at The Tree Church in Lancaster, Ohio. Last week I had the honor of accompanying the missions pastor on a site visit to Jamaica where we met up with WGM Missionary Deirdre Graham who has spearheaded much of the recovery and ministry efforts of WGM on the Island. We visited the remains of the Springfield Church and surveyed the damages and considered the scope of work and repair needed post hurricane. 

Missionaries and Pastors in Jamaica

We had the honor of meeting with numerous pastors, school leaders and pray with them and encourage them in this difficult season of rebuilding. In addition, one of our long-time supporting church, also in Lancaster, Ohio, Shining Light Community Church is also planning a work team to respond to the needs in Jamaica. Persons in both of these congregations are praying and considering how they may step into a deeper level of service and blessing to this Island nation.We will be providing logistical support and helping to promote this ministry in both churches. During this scouting trip we had many opportunities to pray with, encourage and expand our vision for what God would like to do as Jamaica's Churches rebuild. We ask an interest in your prayers as we work in this area of support and care. We will continue to pray and lean into these opportunities and we covet your prayers and support as we seek to serve. Our next eight months will entail a lot of travel and we hope we can see many of you. We appreciate each one of you so very much. Our Contact Information is as follows:25940 Buena Vista Rd.
