Haiti
 Due to the recent catastrophic earthquake, the ministry of MTW in Haiti has taken on a different form. After the reporters, cameras, and celebrities have gone, and Haiti is no longer the top headline on the evening news, we will still be there ministering in the name of Christ. You can be there with us – meeting needs, helping with recovery, and building the Church. We are putting together medical teams for immediate deployment, and as the needs change, we will begin to also send in construction/engineering and community outreach teams.

Working side by side with full time MTW missionaries in La Ceiba, Short Term teams can make an impact through assisting in the current ministries of work projects, medical ministry, teaching, vacation Bible school, youth ministry, ministry with local orphanages, elderly outreach, church leadership training, and other evangelistic outreach. There is a need for year-round involvement.
Several interns are needed to help administer visiting short-term mission teams under the direct supervision of fulltime missionaries. Heavy interaction with nationals can be expected. Experiences will include teaching English, mercy work, construction and church planting activates. Spanish language skills are preferred.
Jamaica - Blue Mountains
In the Blue Mountains outside Kingston and overlooking the Caribbean, are several small, rural communities where Rev. Hylton Dunkley (United Church of Christ of Jamaica) pastors. He has five small churches in his charge and is striving to help them develop and grow. One of the churches currently meets in a church with no roof, as it was destroyed in a hurricane five years ago. Teams of Sr. High and older are needed to help rebuild the roof and minister to the children, youth and adults in the surrounding community. This is a rural project and previous missions experience would be helpful but is not required.
Project Orientation: Team Leaders are requested to attend a four day orientation trip held in Jamaica. This is an important time to establish relationships with the national hosts, catch the vision and understand the culture of Jamaica. All ground costs are covered.

MTW teams will serve in partnership with Caribbean Christian Center for the Deaf (CCCD). CCCD operates three schools in Jamaica. They are residential facilities that provide opportunity to the rural deaf who would otherwise not have access to the Gospel, a language, basic education or vocational training.
Teams can help with construction at one of three school campuses, (Knockpatrick, Kingston, Montego Bay), or at the Deaf Village. There are also opportunities for children's ministry to both deaf and hearing children.
Both one-week and 10-day trips are available. Project weeks run Saturday to Saturday. Dates are available in June, July and August. (June dates fill up extremely quickly.) Discounts are given to pastors, married couples, and children ages 2-10. Lodging and meals are provided in dorm style housing. Teams may need to bring some food/snack items. A passport is required for travel to Jamaica.
