Just this year Deaf people all over the world have been officially classified as an "unreached people group". In addition to never having an opportunity to hear the Gospel, deaf children of Jamaica are often rejected and abused—outcasts of society. Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf (JCSD) is making a difference by offering deaf children an opportunity to receive a Christian education in a nurturing environment.

Like the mother of Mikye Thompson, a newly enrolled 9 year old at JCSD, parents of deaf children are beginning to realize that their deaf child is able to learn, reason, communicate and dream of things they would like to accomplish with their life. Mikye could have enrolled at JCSD when he was four years of age but because his mother was unable to see Mikye’s potential, she now regrets those five “lost” years in Mikye’s young life. Now Mikye is “like a sponge” - just soaking up all that he can learn.

Our mission at JCSD is to provide the deaf children of Jamaica with an environment in which they can learn, grow and achieve physically, academically and spiritually.

Thank you for your support and prayers as we strive toward this goal.

Recently several different ministry teams have come and painted, renovated our playground, screened our windows and doors, assisted in the class rooms and in the kitchen, brought gifts and tiles for the floors. God is so good, we had three rooms tiled, our Science room, Mary's office and our Special Unit class, praise God. Read about other recent ministry teams.
