Live Christ....
Dear children, let’s not merely say that
we love each other;
let us show the truth by our actions.

Why Lord of Lifers Go To Jamaica

1. To help serve the community spiritually & medically at a free medical clinic.
2. To help improve housing for over 100 children at Westhaven Children’s Home & Clifton Boys' Home through construction and maintenance projects.
3. To improve the health for thousands of children throughout the island by distributing Feed My Starving Children food to 13 different orphanages.
4. To give relief to the 24-hour Westhaven staff by bathing, feeding, playing with the children (and even to fold laundry and wash dishes).
5. To share God through VBS at Clifton Boys' Home
6. To see God through the eyes and voice of a child.
7. To provide the simple gift of touch to a child that is bed-ridden.
8. To have the opportunity to grow in spirit & faith while working side by side with fellow Christians.
9. So we can take the time to STOP. Jamaican time slows us down allowing us to reflect and grow.
10. To return and minister to our families, congregation, and community.

Clifton Boys' Home
“I thank God for YOU people!” exclaims Mrs. McDonald, Director (and house mom) of Clifton Boys' Home in Jamaica each and every time I talk to her. Who are “you people”?

It’s YOU, the church, the congregation of Lord of Life. And why does Mrs. McDonald thank God for YOU?

She is overwhelmed by, and grateful for, the love and support that she, the staff, and 33 boys at Clifton receive from Lord of Life. YOU are people she hasn’t met and probably never will meet.

How can you serve God in this ministry? Here are two ways:
1. Pray for Mrs. McDonald, the staff, and the boys.
2. Donate supplies and money that the missionaries will carry down with them.
 
Please prayerfully consider helping change the lives of 33 boys and the staff at Clifton Boys' Home in Jamaica. Help us support these boys so that they can become well-educated Christian men.

Thank YOU! Please contact Rhonda Hofer if you have any questions at rhondah@lordoflife.org.
