Hurricane Melissa was the strongest hurricane ever to make landfall in Jamaica. Over 30 deaths have been recorded as a result of the hurricane, and tens of thousands of people have experienced damage to property, crops and loss of livestock.
In response, The People’s Christian Fellowship (PCF) seeks to stand in Christian solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Jamaica through a two-year initiative.
We will focus on creating a sustained partnership that supports spiritual and social renewal in Cambridge and Cold Springs.
Cambridge: located in the parish of St. James is a mountain community long regarded as the “fruit basket” of the parish due to its strong agricultural heritage. It is home to several schools and diverse places of worship, reflecting a vibrant community life rooted in faith and resilience.
Cold Springs: in the parish of Hanover, is an area that features a mix of residential spaces and undeveloped land, celebrated for its natural beauty and cultural heritage.
We will be breaking our support into three area’s – Relief, Restore and Revive!
