church
Our Mission
Sponsored by St. James Episcopal Church, we are a group of volunteers
who travel to Jamaica, in the West Indies, to provide health care, free
of charge, to the impoverished in Port Maria and the surrounding
communities. We strive to achieve and maintain a strong Christian
relationship with our host church, St. Mary’s Anglican Church, as we
fellowship and serve in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
Being a mission of the church, the driving force is
Matthew 25:35-36:
…”for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me
drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed
Me; I was sick and you visited Me”…
We accept both
professional health care and non-health care volunteers. All volunteers
must be the right match for this type of work, and work well with others
in less than ideal conditions. Health care professionals must have an
up-to-date and valid license in their various fields of health care.
Providing this humanitarian service is uplifting and volunteers return
home touched in unimaginable ways. Volunteers pay their own way. All
donated funds are restricted for mission purposes only. This Mission has
been in operation for over 30 years. The yearly average number of
people seen was 1,800.
