Pray for Jamaica

All are invited to join us in prayer for Jamaica and our partners in the Northern Caribbean island nation.
Lott Carey projects in Jamaica include support to community ministries and training

  • Skill Training
  • Theological scholarship for training of pastors and church leaders

TEM is grateful to Lott Carey for its funding
support of the Skills Training Centre which
provides assistance for administrative
management, support services and
maintenance support. Without this support
we simply would not be able to operate

We pray for:
Lott Carey Mission Partners
§ Trinity Evangelical Ministry
The churches, people, and government of Jamaica

We are thankful for:

  • the natural beauty, climate, and distinctive cultural practices of this island
  • how churches have responded to disasters and served all in need
  • how liberation from colonialism and oppression has been pursued through music, words and actions
  • the leaders of the ecumenical movement who have come from this country.

We pray for:

  • those devastated by disasters, that their lives, communities and eco-systems might be rebuilt
  • the strengthening of all who faithfully witness through word and deed to the gospel
  • all those affected by crime and addictions
  • good governance and smooth transitions between political leaders.

 

Prayer from Jamaica:

Gracious and compassionate God,
faithful to all your promises,
supplier of our needs,
may we never underestimate
the value of all that you afford us;
nor the usefulness of the endowments you give
for the realization of your purposes.
May we never so take for granted
the gifts your bounteous grace provides
as to become victims of the callousness
that produces an abundance of waste.
And save us, we ask you, from becoming
purveyors of the careless and irresponsible disposal
of the waste we produce.
