Kingston, Jamaica – Men Only

Men Only
Going on a FOCUS Mission Trip opened my spirit to a new dimension of faith. I saw the work of God’s love in action through the accepting nature of all the people and how they immediately shared their faith with us. They gave me a sense of purpose and understanding of the message of God’s love. Despite our differences in culture and society, we were able to bond together and work side-by-side through love.

Join the fastest growing religious order in the Caribbean –The Missionaries of the Poor, as they work with the most marginalized of human beings. The Brothers welcome visitors to come and join them in their work, spirituality and their life of prayer. Their mission is to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ primarily by performing the corporal works of mercy of Jesus and secondarily through liturgy, preaching, music, teaching and sacraments.
The Brothers “desire to be a manifestation of the presence of Christ in the world as He continues to live and care for the poorest.” The Missionaries of the Poor’s corporal works of mercy are directed at those in the lowest rung of the social ladder. Their service is manifested in housing the homeless, feeding the hungry, taking care of street children, working with prisoners and caring for those with such diseases as AIDS and leprosy.
Come, be Christ for others and spread His Good News through this FOCUS mission!
