Disaster relief trips to Jamaica

A Call for Urgent Action

On October 30th, Hurricane Melissa tore across Jamaica with unprecedented force. Coastal towns flooded. Mountain villages were cut off. Entire communities were left without electricity, clean water, or safe shelter. The devastation is real—and the journey to recovery will be long.

Homes are gone. Crops destroyed. Families are grieving what they’ve lost. But this is where the Church rises.

Adventures Relief is coming alongside Jamaican pastors, church leaders, and local partners to assess needs and begin the long road to restoration. We’re showing up with prayer, encouragement, and hands ready to serve—one conversation, one meal, one home at a time.

Over the coming months, we plan to mobilize volunteer teams, help supply critical resources, and support the rebuilding of churches and homes. We believe deeply in empowering local partners—because sustainable recovery grows when communities lead the way.

We’ve seen it before: when the Church unites, hope takes root in the hardest places. And once again, God is inviting us to respond.

Now is the time to respond.

Jamaica Recovery Plan

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, entire communities are still digging out from loss. From flooded coastal towns to mountain villages cut off for days, the need is great—and the Church is being called to respond.

That’s why Adventures Relief is stepping in to connect the local church to global resources, establish volunteer housing for mobilized teams, and equip local leaders to lead the rebuilding efforts. Together, we’ll support recovery with labor and essential materials—helping restore homes, livelihoods, and hope.

This mission is bigger than tools and timber. It’s about empowering a resilient church to rebuild their communities and remind every person that they are not forgotten.

Our Mission:

Relief, Rebuild, Restore.

When Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica, it left behind more than broken buildings; it left a nation searching for peace, for healing, for hope. And while the storm has moved on, the Church is just beginning to move in.

We believe this is a divine invitation for the body of Christ to rise, not in haste, but in humility, not with a quick fix, but with long obedience.

Our Vision for What Comes Next:

A Place Where Teams Become Family

We’re creating a space for volunteers to gather, serve, and break bread alongside local believers, a place where the global Church becomes the local Church, and strangers become family.
Rebuilding the Church, Rebuilding the Community

The church is where children are fed, where prayers are lifted, where hope is born. That’s why we are first committed to helping repair damaged church buildings and restore the heart of each community. From there, we will equip pastors and their teams to rebuild homes and serve their neighbors in powerful, sustainable ways.
A Future Full of Life, Rooted in Love

Every roof repaired and every wall raised becomes a symbol of resurrection. But more importantly, every act of love declares that Jesus is here, that hope is alive, and that the Kingdom is advancing, one family, one church, one community at a time.

We go because He first came.
We serve because the world is still broken.
We build because love demands it.

Will You Go?

When the headlines fade and the world moves on, the broken pieces remain. In Jamaica, the wreckage is more than what you can see. The loss runs deep—through homes, through communities, through the hearts of people who are still waiting for help.

This is where the Church rises.

Not with quick fixes or distant sympathy, but with open hands, willing hearts, and a long obedience in the same direction. We don’t come as heroes—we come as family. We sit in the ashes with those who mourn. We stand beside them as they rebuild what was lost. We walk together until hope takes root again.

There is much to do:

Homes to repair
Roads to clear
Churches to strengthen
Families to remind: You are not forgotten.

But more than tasks, they need presence—people who will listen, pray, sweat, and stay long enough to see beauty rise from the rubble.

If God is stirring your heart, we’re ready to walk with you.

Let us know you’re willing to go. We’ll reach out with the next step.

Let’s bring Kingdom into chaos—together.

I’m Ready to Help!

Latest Updates

Your Generosity Is Fueling Jamaica’s Recovery
Nov 08, 2025

It’s been just one week since we started our Hurricane Melissa updates —and already, your generosity is making a powerful impact.

Because of supporters like you, we’ve raised over half of our $40,000 goal to equip local churches with the resources they need most: food, clean water, medical supplies, and emergency shelter.

Pastors and volunteers across the island are stepping out in faith, serving their neighbors in the midst of loss. Together, we’re not only rebuilding homes—we’re rebuilding hope.

What’s Next

As our local partners continue responding to urgent needs, our Adventures Relief team is preparing to send assessment and logistics teams to support recovery efforts next week.

We’re also compiling a Volunteer Interest List for those who feel called to serve alongside Jamaican pastors in the coming months.

Every act of generosity—every prayer, every dollar, every “yes”—becomes part of Jamaica’s recovery story and a testimony of Jesus’ love in action.

Thank you for being part of this movement of hope.

P.S. We’d love for you to follow along and pray with us as our team travels to Jamaica next week. Stay updated on stories of hope and progress by following @adventuresrelief or @adventuresinmissions on social media.

Jamaica is desperate for food and water — will you help?
Nov 06, 2025

Each day, updates from our trusted ministry partners in Jamaica grow more urgent. After Hurricane Melissa’s catastrophic destruction, emergency rations are nearly gone. Families are desperate for food, clean water, baby formula, and fuel.

One pastor shared through tears,

“We’ve never experienced anything like this before. Hurricane Gilbert was a Category 4, but this… this is different. We have nothing. Everything in our homes is gone—roofs are gone, and even the grocery stores were ruined.”

Entire communities are still cut off, with power and communication limited. Families are rationing food, parents are putting their children first, and babies are without formula. Yet even in this hardship, the Church is rising up to meet needs—one meal, one prayer, one act of love at a time.

Yet through it all, faith remains. Our ministry partners on the ground continue to serve tirelessly—handing out hot meals, solar lanterns, and hope, while covering their neighbors in prayer. The Church is being the hands and feet of Jesus in the middle of chaos.

Thanks to early generosity from people like you, over $5,000 has already been raised, allowing local churches to meet immediate needs. But compared to the scale of devastation, that’s only a fraction of what’s needed. Thousands of families are still waiting for help, praying for food, water, and hope.

How You Can Help Right Now

Your generosity today can bring life-saving relief to families who have lost everything:

$50 keeps a family fed and hydrated for seven critical days $100 powers community kitchens and charging stations through local churches $250 supplies construction materials and transportation for recovery teams reaching remote areas

Every dollar given goes directly to local partners bringing both physical relief and spiritual hope across Jamaica.

Our Adventures Relief team is preparing to travel to Jamaica to assess needs firsthand and strengthen partnerships for the long road ahead. As we go, your giving fuels their hands—and extends God’s compassion to the suffering.

Even when everything seems lost, God is near. Through your prayers and partnership, hope is breaking through the rubble. Thank you for standing with the people of Jamaica when they need it most.

Adventures Relief will be responding to Jamaica in the wake of Hurricane Melissa.

As we establish a response plan, we need volunteers and partners to join us in the mission. We appreciate and value all of our prayer partners, financial supporters, and volunteers who generously give their time.
