Gathering the Great Multitude from the Nations
THE LORD ADDED THOSE WHO WERE BEING SAVED.
Rose Hill is a farming community in rural Jamaica where unemployment is high and the limited job opportunities has a great impact on the community.  Cohabitation is a way of life and contributes to the high percentage of single parent families. While the men are able to plant cash crops if the drought is not too severe, it is more difficult for women to find employment. They are often dependent on the men who deal with their issues at the local rum shops.  Without a marriage commitment the men move on to another relationship and then another. Then, in this vicious labyrinth, all believe such behavior disqualifies them from ever committing to following Christ. As a result they are not interested in hearing the gospel nor are they interested in the church.

Desmond was in a hurry but he stopped long enough to sit with us outside his uncle’s shop.   READ MORE ABOUT DESMOND'S STORY
WHAT NEXT?

Rose Hill/Wellington communities in Jamaica are farming communities that are overwhelmed with many challenges. Unemployment and the lack of water are only two of the challenges. A team of missionaries committed themselves to impact the future of the community by focusing on children, young adults and unchurched men.
In a three year partnership, Caribbean Connect, in addition to joining to advancing the gospel, is would like to:
  1. Recruit volunteers to help high school graduates prepare resumes and prepare for job interviews.
  2. Provide skill training as a way of equipping people to become self sufficient.
  3. Launch a library where children can be meaningfully engaged while experiencing the love of Christ.
  4. Resource agricultural expertise to help this farming community maximize its results.
Please ask the Lord how you might be able to join in bringing hope to these communities.
In this first year we have been engaged in cultivating relationships as we modeled principles of evangelism and disciple making in the community along with local partners.
During year two we are planning to assist our partners in expanding what was modeled in year one. Year three, we will stand back and watch as our partners take the lead in expanding the effort even further. Year four we are hoping that together we can repeat the effort in other communities around Jamaica as well as other countrie s. The goal is to equip and multiply disciples in Rose Hill who will respond to the call to take the gospel to other communities across Jamaica, the Caribbean and the world.
In the meantime we will seek to facilitate projects that will add to the development that will benefit members of the community.
We will not stop until every person gets the opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel. Please join us by volunteering your professional expertise as we bring the kingdom of God near to the people.
OUR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE MAKE UP THE MOST VULNERABLE SEGMENT OF THE COMMUNITY. Often they experiences the impact of the mistakes and poor decisions of their parents. On this trip the team decided that they would give more attention to the children. Please pray for our children that they might experience the heavenly Father's love.

FEEDING SOME OF THE LEAST OF THESE
"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. ... as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." - Jesus
During the week the team was able to give children in the community both physical food and spiritual food through a football-themed, Vacation Bible School, teaching that the best equipment is having Christ as Savior. GEAR UP! GET READY! GAME ON!

Teaching children to love Jesus
YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT TO WHICH YOU SET YOUR MIND
Students paid keen attention and responded positively to the encouragement to make Christ their Lord. Following Him is challenging but He is faithful and powerful enough to help them in their times of need. With a focus on loving Christ they were taught to trust Him. This way, they can have a greater opportunity to achieve whatever they set their minds to achieve. Several teachers taught kids that in Christ they can achieve goals that might have seemed impossible. As the kids expressed their dreams, others chanted, "YOU CAN DO IT!"

YOU CAN DO IT!
Pray for these future leaders of Rose Hill. With positive mentoring they will accomplish God's purpose in their life.
This group of young leaders got the opportunity to study the Scriptures to learn to obey all that the Lord commanded.
LEARNING AND PLAYING TOGETHER
During the week more than sixty children had the opportunity to build positive attitudes team working together. They participated in in various team sports include football, relay races, three legged race among other team sports.

PRAYING TO THE LORD OF HARVEST
Caribbean Connect joined with Pastor Chris and the local team to share the gospel with people in the community of Blenheim, Jamaica. We continue to pray for the people, many of whom have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For, not understanding God's righteousness they seek to establish their own, not submitting to God's righteousness (as in Rom 10:3).

We will continue to evangelize until every person gets the opportunity to hear, understand and respond to the gospel.

ENDORSEMENT

Courtney’s book is a clarion call to wake up the church to the Great Task–of shining the light of hope in Christ to the world. In this world of entertainment-based, self-serving assemblies without focus, led by CEOs rather than pastors — God still calls His people to reach the nations. I strongly recommend that all pastors, directors of missions, and denominational leaders read Ending the Time Out and evaluate what kind of churches you have before you—and make the adjustments needed to go where God is leading.
