Westtown Jamaica Mission Trip 2023 & 2024

07/28/2024

Westtown Mission team arrived safely back in America last night. We can’t wait to share our experiences with the Church.

Westtown arrived in Jamaica safely on July 20, 2024. Sunday, we attended church at JDV- Jamaica Deaf Village. Here, we experienced the service in sign language with an interpreter. We walked the campus and were blessed to see the end result of some labor we put in last year, a beautiful goat house!
So far this week, we have helped put together bunk beds, paint, fix some electrical issues on campus and clear bamboo brush from hurricane Beryl.
We are all very much out of our comfort zones with living conditions, as the electricity is still out at Knockpatrick Campus and water pressure is lacking. Generators are helping, but we shut them off at night, as the buzzing and loud noise can keep us awake. Many have commented on how much we take for granted or don’t appreciate as much as we should, what we have in America (including nice hot showers)! All of us are adjusting well and making the best of the situation.
We have nightly debriefs in which we share feedback from our daily devotional, as well as our highs, lows and times we saw Jesus through our works that day.
Thank you so much for your prayers and financial support, more posts on our progress and trip to come.
