Trip Destination: Eden, Jamaica. Eden is a small village set back in the hills and rainforests of Jamaica.
Missions Partner: Mission Discovery
Our Mission: In this tiny town, the Jamaican Christian School for the Deaf ministers to hearing impaired and special needs children whose families could not otherwise afford such excellent attention and care. Mission Discovery teams spend a week staying at and serving the school. The children will be on summer break allowing our team to make needed repairs such as building new dorms and classrooms, creating safe play areas for the children, or building perimeter fences in preparation for the coming school year. Our team will also lead a children’s bible school in the community of Eden and spend a day at Blossom Garden Children’s Home, an orphanage for more than 70 children. Along with the hard work, you will spend an exciting day shopping at the Straw Market and relaxing at one of the island’s magnificent beaches.
A General Day: After breakfast and quiet time, teams will move to the JCSD construction site where they will work on projects until noon. After lunch, teams will walk to a local church for Children’s Bible School (CBS). Our group will share the gospel through games, songs, testimonies, Bible stories, crafts, and relationship building. Teams should plan for 50 to 70 children from pre‐kindergarten to early teens. Temperatures at the site can be 95 degrees or higher, so steps are taken to ensure that everyone gets the proper amount of water. After a full day of work, the team will have some free time followed by dinner, large group meeting, and a small group debriefing time.
