About Jamaica: The Diocese of Mandeville, though small, tries to do its part to carry out the mandate of Jesus Christ to “feed the hungry, clothe the naked and bring the good news to all the people”. They do this not only through preaching and teaching, but more so through the many social programs: schools, clinics, housing program, orphanages, senior’s home, and more.
What to Expect: Partnering with the Diocese of Mandeville, Jamaica, CBC missionaries will serve in various ministries in the local area. These ministries may include light construction, visiting with senior residents in a Missionaries of Charity home, working with preschool aged children in learning centers and visiting the Mustard Seed, a home for individuals with serious medical challenges.
