Jamaica Mission Trip (SEC X Mission To Mend)

WHY JAMAICA, WHY NOW?

SEC Youth Ministries, in partnership with Mission To Mend, is leading a mission trip to support rebuilding efforts across affected communities in Jamaica. Hurricane Melissa was unlike anything anyone in Jamaica had ever experienced, leaving widespread damage and a long road to recovery. Churches were hit hard. Community spaces were lost. Families left shattered, with no place to call home.

This is why from the 11th August -24th of August, we’re going to help rebuild, side by side with local leaders and communities, but we need your support.

• Serving people by listening to local stories, offering encouragement, and walking alongside communities as they rebuild

• Sharing the Word of God through prayer, pastoral care, music, and moments of spiritual support that bring hope and strength

• Supporting community care efforts, including medical support and practical assistance where needed, alongside local teams
