Jamaica Mission Trips

When Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica in the fall of 2025, more than 90,000 families were affected and more than 120,000 structures lost their roofs. Our Adventures Relief team was on the ground within days with food, water, and formula, and then we did what we always do after the first wave of help leaves: we stayed. Today we run a relief base in George's Plain, Westmoreland, about an hour from Montego Bay, where up to 32 volunteers at a time rebuild homes and churches alongside local congregations.

Jamaica mission trips here come in two forms. The Guided Mission Trip, at $695 per person, is for youth groups, churches, families, and individuals who want a Mission Leader, full logistics, ministry programming, and a team T-shirt and journal. No construction experience is needed; skilled leaders oversee the roofing, framing, block work, and finishing. The Skilled Relief option, starting at $299 per person, is for tradespeople and experienced DIYers who can run their own crew. It covers lodging, food, local transportation, and ministry programming, and leaves out the group leader and coordination you do not need.

The week runs Saturday to Saturday. Sunday you worship at a New Testament Church of God and get oriented. Monday through Friday you eat breakfast at 7:30, pray together, head out to the job site at 9:00, and come back around 4:00 for a debrief and a hot dinner cooked by local cooks. Along the way there is time for soccer outreach, shared meals with neighbors, and the kind of conversations that happen when you are rebuilding someone's kitchen.

This is hands-on work in a hot, humid, post-disaster setting, so we ask for participants 16 and older who are ready for it. Ms. Myrtle James, 85, lost her home in the storm; a team is building her a new 16 by 24 house with its own bathroom and kitchen. There are a lot more homes like hers. Your team can be part of the next one.
