Past misisons...

The 2009 trip to Kingston will be our groups 21st mission. It's been an amazing 'trip' over the years (pardon the pun!). We have travelled to many locations throughout the Salvation Army's Caribbean Territory, and have progressed from basic painting and minor repair tasks to full-out renovation and building projects. It truly is amazing what work is able to be accomplished in a short period (projects have averaged 2 weeks)... of course, it isn't really our work or our timeline!

Countries we have been priviledged to visit include:
  • Jamaica
  • Trinidad
  • Guyana
  • St. Lucia
  • Cuba
  • Belize
  • Haiti
  • Barbados

I will attempt to post more on some of these trips in the future.
