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.
Just miles from resorts and tourist areas, two inner-city church plants thrive in the capital, Kingston. Rev. Ite shepherds 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). Pastor Ite also serves 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, Pastor Obot serves a preaching station in the rural community of Bois Content, west of Kingston.
We pray the Lord will continue to bless the work of Rev. Ite as he faithfully serves the Jamaica Mission. We also pray that the Lord of the Harvest will provide another missionary pastor to plant churches alongside Pastor Ite in Jamaica.
