This is not your typical trip to the Bahamas! In the region around the capital city of Nassau, thousands of Haitian refugees have ventured here to make a new start. With no money, no jobs, and no homes, they attempt to build a life. The Bahamian government is unable to provide much help to this growing population, and the need for education and housing is enormous. Mission Discovery short term mission trip teams will help construct churches and daycare facilities, repair homes, and lead children’s bible school in poor Bahamian and Haitian communities.

Help change your world and theirs! It's a week of service and refreshment for ladies. You've seen Jamaica's beautiful beaches and tourist destinations featured in television commercials. But behind the scenes of the city are communities struggling like never before. 69.2% of people living in Jamaica make their living from service industries like hotels. In the world's new economy, fewer people are vacationing, and so unemployment is rising. With the rise of unemployment come the side effects.

Haiti is a small country or 8 million people located about 800 miles southeast of Miami. Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic. The city of Port de Paix is located on the northern coast of Haiti, about a 40 minute commuter plane ride from the capital of Port au Prince. Haiti is an amazing place. It is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and yet very rich in opportunity. Even though the people of Haiti are resilient and hardworking, few can find jobs. Poverty hangs over Haiti like thick smog blocking even the smallest rays of hope for so many.
