| Caribbean Baptists to Establish their Own Mission Agency |
|
Source: Baptist World Alliance A mission agency will be established in the Caribbean in order to strengthen the capacity of local congregations, facilitate the recruitment and training of missionaries, and encourage and support the efforts of Caribbean partners to better address the causes and effects of social injustice. Norva Rodney of the Jamaica Baptist Union (JBU) made the proposal for such an agency at a mission conference in Montego Bay sponsored by the Jamaica Baptist Union Mission Agency. The Montego Bay Accord, the final document produced after a series of presentations, deliberations and discussions, speaks to the intent to create a Caribbean Mission. The Caribbean Diaspora Baptist Clergy Association, the JBU and the Caribbean Baptist Fellowship signed the accord. The mission conference, held Oct. 24-28, brought together more than 450 delegates from Jamaica, Panama, Haiti, Turks and Caicos Islands, Belize, Bahamas and the U.S. * Staff members from the HCJB Global Technology Center in Elkhart, Ind., worked with Tarrant Baptist Church in Kingston, Jamaica, to install a 500-watt FM transmitter, antenna and studio. |
