"If you spend
yourselves in
behalf of the
hungry and
satisfy the needs
of the oppressed,
then your light
will rise in the
darkness,
and your night
will become like
the noonday.
The LORD will
guide you always;
he will satisfy
your needs in a
sun-scorched land
and will
strengthen your
frame.
You will be like a
well-watered
garden,
like a spring
whose waters
never fail."
Isaiah 58:10-11
SHORT TERM JAMAICA MISSION VOLUNTEERS
We are all commanded to go and share God’s love and His perfect plan of salvation. We are called
to serve and witness in the name of Jesus, to be servants, living to bring glory to His Name.
The Mission field in Jamaica offers numerous short-term missionary opportunities to serve Jesus by
serving others.
Witnessing the work of the missions
Serving as a BBM Short Term Mission Volunteer will give you the opportunity to:
- meet and interact directly with the children, the families and the elderly we serve
- you will witness firsthand the social and economic realities of their daily existence so you
will have a better understanding of the challenges they need to overcome
- you will experience first hand how your work as a short term mission volunteer directly
impacts their lives and their future by helping them overcome the obstacles of poverty
- you will see how the benefits of education, nutrition, clothing, medical care or improved
housing can offer hope and assist families or individuals in their struggles for survival and
development.
Available service opportunities include:
- teach children, who slipped through the cracks of our education system, the basics of
reading.
- the poor in Jamaica speak our local Patois, which is a combination of broken English
interspersed with the ocassional African and Spanish words, as well as slang. Oft times, I'm
of the opinion that we should also teach English as a foreign language :)
- teaching Bible school and instilling sound Christian values, beliefs and morals
- providing sports training as a vehicle to teach self-steem, team spirit, improved physical
well being and cross-cultural learning.
- visiting the elderly, reading to them and/or helping them in their homes, maybe even with
minor home improvements
- improve our recipients housing through cleaning, painting, minor repairs, or building homes
or bathrooms
- creating an available pure water source for an impoverished family would have a dramatic
impact on their lives
Additional service trip
A trip to the St Ann's Bay Infirmary, Jacob's Ladder or Widow's Mite could be included in your trip.
Accommodations will be provided at The Blue House where you will an honored guest and
friend of Bread Basket Ministries CEO, Elise Yap. You will have the opportunity to sample native
foods, to delve into our culture and a day to explore the beauty of the Ocho Rios area.
Age restrictions
BBM's Short Term Mission Trips are open to all. However, those younger than age 18 must be
accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Cost
A 7 night BBM Short Term Mission Trip to Ocho Rios Jamaica costs $995 per person/double
occupancy and includes accommodations, meals, taxes, gratuity, airport transfers and
transportation for your volunteer work. Volunteers are encouraged to do additional fund raising
to finance materials needed for the project of their choice. Airfare is NOT included.

BEWARE: short-term mission work is very contagious. Your life will be forever changed. Although
a short-term mission trip lasts only one week, team members return home humbled and spiritually
enriched by their experience, praying and trusting that their efforts have made a positive and
eternal difference in building the Kingdom of God. Many volunteers return home empowered to
live as disciples of Christ in their own communities, serving the least among us.
