PPM365 UPDATES FROM JAMAICA

It Has Been Way Too Long

by Cathy Kirk | June 2, 2023

We met with Pastor Jerome Francis for the first time since before covid.  It was so lovely to sit down to chat about life and teams. He has been working hard to reach out to the community of Spicy Hill, where he serves an amazing congregation of some of the sweetest and most loving people we have ever met.  

It is an understatement to say they are excited to have a team returning to help with much-needed projects.  Pastor Francis was so excited to let us know he plans to serve alongside the team every chance he gets during the upcoming trip.  What a fantastic 365 partner we have in Pastor Francis.  

It Has Been Way Too Long

Taking Time To Catch Up

by Cathy Kirk | June 1, 2023

Today, we met with Pastor Earle to catch up on life and chat about a team coming to serve alongside him on Saturday.  As we shared about the teams lives, and struggles and how excited they are to return.  He shared with us that the church members have been meeting during the hours of 12:00 am - 3:00 am each night to pray over the community, church members, and mission teams during the dark hours at night when things hit the hardest.  This is one of the reasons we love this man and the partnership he has with PPM.  He thinks about, prays for, and cares for his community, his family, and his mission teams so well.  His partnership is a true blessing from God.

Years of Partnership

by Cathy Kirk | February 27, 2023

We had a great visit with Pastor Earle today while preparing for our team's arrival from Belmont University.  

The team is coming alongside Pastor Earle with concrete work on a new classroom for the Basic School they have on their property.  Since the school was built for children in the community, it has outgrown its space. The classroom will also be used on Sunday mornings for children's church.

We could not be more excited to serve alongside Pastor Earle and to continue adding to his vision for his church, school, and community.

We couldn't be more excited to see what God has in store for Jamaica in 2023.



Moving Forward

by Cathy Kirk | November 30, 2022

Our partnering pastors in Jamaica are super excited to move forward with their ministries and partnerships with PPM.  It has been a long 2 years with no teams due to covid.

They are ready for teams to return to their churches and communities to spread the love of Christ and build long-term relationships with everyone they serve.  

We have begun sharing about PPM365 with our partners and they couldn't be more excited to be a part of this amazing program.

Our 365 Day Approach

PPM365 is a continuous effort to build up, encourage, and assist the local Church 365 days a year. By sponsoring a church's involvement in this program, pastors and ministry leaders will receive local support, training, and encouragement, leading to transformed communities in the name of Christ. Three areas of focus work in unison to accomplish this intentional effort.

Church

The Local Church is the catalyst for reaching our world for Christ. It is God's master plan - to use His people to love and serve our world, sharing the Good News of grace by faith to all people.

Pastor

An investment in a pastor is an investment in the Church. When pastors are healthy, both spiritually and physically, they are most able to lead a healthy, vibrant congregation

Community

Communities benefit when the local church is thriving. From support and care to meeting physical needs; a healthy Church is vital to a community.

We estimate it will cost PPM $2400 per year ($200/month) to fund one partner in this program. A sponsorship allows for donors to personally support the care and ongoing ministry in a location.

Program Promises for our PPM365 Partners

  • Consistent Care

  • Aid in Emergencies

  • Relational Network & Training

  • Empowerment to go
