Jamaica Missions: Five Years of Going Together

In a few weeks, our team is heading back to Jamaica (July 11–16), and we could not be more ready.

Since 2021, Together Church has sent a team to serve alongside our partners there. What started as a trip has become a real relationship. These are not people we show up for and forget. They have come to Moncks Corner to serve our community too. That kind of partnership goes both ways.

A few Jamaica stats worth knowing

About 69% of Jamaicans identify as Christian, but only 30% attend church weekly, and 56% seldom or never walk through a church door. Identifying with faith and being discipled are two very different things.
Even with national poverty declining, about 15.7% of Jamaican children still live in poverty, with the hardest hit in rural communities.
Jamaican students average 11.4 years of school by age 18, but those years translate to only 7.1 years of actual learning. Access does not always mean opportunity.
The economy runs heavily on tourism and agriculture, both highly vulnerable to hurricanes and global disruptions. The island is resilient. The margin for most families is thin.

Why we keep going

Five years in, this is not a program we run. It is a relationship we are in. And if you have ever felt a pull toward something like this, maybe the next step is paying attention to that.

Follow along July 11–16 on our social channels. And if you want to know more about getting involved, reach out at to our Jamaica Team Lead, Ken Fertig (email at the bottom of this email).

How You Can Help!

You do not have to go to be part of this. Here are four simple ways to support the team and the people we serve:

PURCHASE CHICKENS AND GOATS
One of the most practical things you can do is help put food on the table. Goats and chickens provide lasting nutrition for families we serve. Goats are $275, chickens are $160. Click the link, select Jamaica, and add "chicken" or "goat" in the notes.

SEND SUPPLIES

Every item on this list goes directly with our team to Jamaica. It is a simple, practical way to make sure we arrive ready to serve.

BUY A CHICKEN OR GOAT

SEND SUPPLIES

Bake Sale This Sunday
We are hosting a bake sale this Sunday to help fund our Jamaica mission team. You can show up and shop, or bring something to sell. Either way, you are helping send our team well. Reach out to Ken to let him know how you want to help.
