Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 

- Matthew 28:18-20

Jamaica is the third-largest island in the Caribbean. We are called the land of wood and water. The island has a population of about three million, with around half living in towns and cities. The largest religion practiced by Jamaicans is Christianity. In 2020, 67.2 per cent of the population identified as Christians, composed of several denominations. Other religions in Jamaica include Jehovah Witnesses, Rastafari, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and Buddhism, with a fifth not following any religion.

Our forefathers understood the importance of our Heavenly Father, so much so that our national anthem is a prayer to the Lord and our national pledge speaks “Before God and all mankind….play her part in advancing ….of the whole human race”.

This is what OM in Jamaica is about, advancing the welfare of the whole human race. OM was established in Jamaica in 2011 and since then our focus is that of sending Jamaican individuals called to be missionaries near and far to share the love and gospel of Jesus Christ.

You can partner in this great commission by praying for OM and missionaries around the world, by giving financially to support local missionaries serving overseas and volunteering with the local team.
