In the eye of the storm
You’re expanding hope, healing and courage to Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa
More than three weeks after Hurricane Melissa slammed into Jamaica with record-breaking fury, the island still bears the scars of nature’s wrath.
Powerless villages. Flooded roads. Empty pantries. Desperate families.
But in the midst of the devastation — in the rubble, the rain and the silence of broken homes — you are there and will continue to be there.
You are showing up — with tools, with food, with prayer and with the unshakable conviction that when the least of these are suffering, Christ is calling us to act.
You are caring for the vulnerable — One roof at a time
At the Trelawny Infirmary, where more than eight feet of floodwater washed away beds, medical equipment and hope, patients — many elderly or living with developmental disabilities — were forced into a cramped, unsafe shelter.
Rose, a patient care assistant, feared for their lives.
“I left to check on my own family,” she said. “When I came back, I saw volunteers from On Mission Network already at work — clearing debris, rebuilding roofs, restoring light and power. I smiled. I felt God gave me a breath of fresh air. It feels like they’re building back my own home.”
Thanks to your generosity, temporary roofs are being installed. Patients are returning to their beds. Dignity is being restored — one nail, one prayer, one act of love at a time.
You are feeding the hungry — Before day 14 became day 15
In the remote hills and valleys of Jamaica, where roads are still buried under debris, helicopters are now the lifeline.
Working with local partners, On Mission Network is delivering food — not just supplies, but sustenance — into communities where some had not eaten in 13 days.
Crowds gathered peacefully, hands outstretched, eyes full of gratitude. In one day, you fed over 4,000 people. The next day, thousands more.
And now — thanks to your support and the power of local churches — we are shipping an additional 120,000 meals to be distributed through local churches across the impacted region of Jamaica.
These aren’t just meals — they’re testimonies. They’re the Body of Christ in motion.
You are more than feeding bodies — you are feeding souls. You are embodying Christ’s love in the most tangible, urgent way possible.
Ongoing relief: The long road to recovery begins now
Hurricane Melissa didn’t just break windows — it shattered lives. Recovery will take years. Rebuilding will require more than bricks and mortar — it will require faith, partnership and sustained commitment.
That’s why On Mission Network is already laying the groundwork for long-term transformation:
Upcoming mission trips for volunteering and funding (Q1 2026):
- Food distribution teams
- Temporary roofing, roofing & light construction crews
- Home rebuilding & furniture delivery (hundreds of complete sets — beds, tables, chairs — ready to ship)
Your church can be a part of this:
- Send a team.
- Fund a project.
- Pray fervently for safety, healing and divine direction.
We need you — now more than ever
God is at work in Jamaica — not in spite of the storm, but through the hands of his people who refuse to look away.
We covet your prayers — for the safety of volunteers, for the healing of survivors, for the wisdom of leaders on the ground. And we welcome your support — financial, personal and spiritual — as we continue to impact a nation still standing, still singing, still believing.
Thank you for living on mission — not just in words, but in action.
