Jamaica 920 HSM
This trip is for high school students who have completed the HSM mission trip essay and been invited to participate in this trip. Participation in student mission trips is overseen by each campus student ministry.
The Jamaica High School team will come alongside a partner community in Jamaica to participate in sports, which could include soccer, basketball, and volleyball for the purpose of positive community impact and evangelism. The team will also partner with LIA’s partner church in evangelism and home visits.
Life In Abundance International (LIA), a Southeast Missions Partner, is an African-founded, faith-based community development organization that exists to mobilize the local church to restore health, renew hope and inspire lasting transformation for Africa’s most vulnerable families. LIA works in more than 30 communities in 10 countries throughout Africa and the Caribbean.
LIA’s transformational development approach requires community ownership and long-term solutions. LIA partners with local church and community leadership to determine communities’ most significant needs and then trains, supports and works alongside the local church to meet those needs well into the future.
