The Sinking Creek Mission Team arrived in Montego Bay, Jamaica in January of 2008.  Teaming up with Ms. Bev and Fresh Bread Ministries the group travel through small towns and villages.  The trip was a very humbling and blessed experience.  Our team shared the gospel in schools, children's homes, detention center, hospice homes, hospitals and in the small towns.  We were blessed to pray with and witness 72 people new christians proclaim Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
