Lord of Life begins Masks for Mission Jamaica campaign

An anonymous donor is challenging members of the Lord of Life congregation and others to help spread its online presence, while also helping out those in need.

For every like or share on Lord of Life’s Facebook and Youtube worship livestream posts, a Personal Protective Equipment mask will be donated to Westhaven Children’s Home in Copse, Jamaica, and Clifton Boys Home in Darlington, Jamaica.

Westhaven provides care for children with special needs ranging from moderate to severe cases, while the Clifton Boys Home educates, provides Christian values and prepares boys age 8-18 for adulthood.

Both programs are partnered with Mission Jamaica, which Lord of Life was going to go on a mission trip with in 2020. The trip had to be postponed for the foreseeable future.
