In an infirmary in Manchester, Jamaica, lives an elderly Christian man named Eston. He spent a lifetime mentoring young people and giving witness to the Love of Jesus Christ. Now unable to care for himself, he still radiates the Christian message to all who visit him, as our World Relief missionaries and visitors regularly do. In the country of Jamaica, many elderly souls like Eston must rely on the generosity of organizations like World Relief for their care and keeping. His infirmary is one that World Relief materially supports.

We are thankful for our brotherhood's contributions to World Relief's work in Jamaica as we assist local ministries there through financial assistance, work teams, in-country missionaries, and material assistance.

This effort requires a number of committed volunteers in support of the effort, from preparation and shipping, to the administrative support required for this ministry.

... Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
