Project ID: JM0003-66302 

Lutheran Hour Ministries radio contacts in the 1990s helped begin LCMS efforts in Jamaica. Alliance Missionary Pastor Obot Ite, from Nigeria, has faithfully served the missions since 2007, and this year is joined by another Nigerian Lutheran alliance missionary, Pastor Ekong.

Just miles from resorts and tourist areas, two inner-city church plants thrive in the capital, Kingston. The pastors shepherd the members of St. Andrew Lutheran Church as they gather for weekly services at the Kingston Ministry Centre. The facility doubles as office space, volunteer lodging, and the headquarters of Lutheran Ministries in Jamaica (LMJ). They also serve the members of Faith Lutheran Church, which is increasingly filled with locals, including a number of young families. It is a beacon of hope in the impoverished and crime-ridden downtown area. On Sunday afternoons, they visit a preaching station in the rural community of Bois Content, west of Kingston.

We pray the Lord will continue to bless the work of our alliance missionary pastors as they faithfully serve the Jamaica Mission.
