In the spring of 2001, there were approximately 50 Lipscomb University students on a waiting list to serve the Lord over their spring break. Most of them waited to be contacted thinking they would be able to participate in a spring break mission trip... but, there was no place for them to go.
Many people prayed from that time on for more opportunities to serve and share the Gospel over spring break. The Jamaica Spring Break Mission Team is a direct result of these prayers.
This new mission opportunity soon developed into the second largest spring break campaign at Lipscomb University. With it's 30 members, the team has traveled to Morant Bay, Jamaica for 4 consecutive years to participate in evangelism efforts and other areas of service.... from visiting the sick to providing a much needed paint job to the Morany Bay Church of Christ.
Michael Dehaney is the preacher at the Morant Bay Church of Christ. The church has several members and is truely refelective of the church family talked about in the Bible. God is so evident in each member of the church by their unbeleivable hospitality, friendliness, and happiness.
Everyday is different and somewhat unpredictable. We will do whatever we can to serve the Lord. To get infomation about the goals of the team, please visit the the evangelism efforts page or the service areas page.
The cost for this years trip is $750USD. The major aspect of this price is our roundtrip airfare from Nashville. For information on contributing to the mission team, please visit our Financial Contributions page.
