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.
