Missionary Work In Jamaica

by N thomas
(Alaska USA)

Did you know that there are several international churches and institutions that does missionary work in Jamaica?

And some of them, for several decades!

It's one of the things that probably doesn't get the attention it rightly deserves and so I welcomed this question from another of my readers.

Deon grabbed the opportunity to respond fulsome - love it!

Here's the question (below) and our response.


Hello! Are there any missionary companies in your area recruiting workers?

-Thomas


RESPONSE: by Deon Clarke, Associate Writer



Hi Ms Thomas,

Thank you for your question. It’s heartening to know that you are interested in working in missionary organizations - and especially here in Jamaica!

You will be happy to know that there are several missionary organizations that are operating here in Jamaica. And you'll be doubly happy to know that most of them also originate from your country, the United States of America.

I am unable to confirm if they are recruiting workers at this time however I do know that most of them are comprised of voluntary workers so the demand is always there.

Some require you to pay your own travel expenses but there are others that have sponsorship opportunities available.

I've done some research on your behalf and will now provide you with a list of 11 of these organizations and their contact information (local or headquarters). You can always get in touch with them for further details.

Many of them actually allows you to join, contact them or see available trip dates via their website too!

And by the way, I noticed that the missionary work is quite extensive and fun, it's not only Evangelism and Vacation Bible School, they also have Construction Projects and Student Support Programs!

Anyway, here you go.

There you go, I hope this helps! I'd suggest that you start with those with direct contacts in your country first, my guess is that they'll have more direct answers to your questions and provide possible options for your missionary journey in Jamaica.

Good luck!

Regards,
DC
