Marla’s Minute: 3M
So much support from you—our donors, prayer partners, and businesses—has made it possible for us to report that ACE has fully recovered from that “Mean Melissa” storm last October! While we will continue to clean up inner roads, our properties are in good shape...
The Joy of Sponsorship Connections
This year, several ACE sponsors joined mission teams in Jamaica and had the special joy of visiting their sponsored children. These personal encounters highlight one of the most rewarding parts of our Child Sponsorship program: the opportunity to build real...
Moving From Pain Toward God’s Purpose
Last month, we hosted our 21st Annual Men's & Women's Conference at Galina Breeze Hotel. This conference is a vital part of the ministry at ACE as we spend intentional and relational time in worship and conversation with the attendees. This year, we were honored...
Bright Minds & Clear Visions
This past season has been one of great celebration and joy within our Child Sponsorship Program! The first celebration came after several of our sponsor students at Mason Hall Primary and Infant School received literacy awards, recognizing their hard work in reading,...

Marla’s Minute: Plastic, Pallets, & Containers
Since Hurricane Melissa visited Jamaica, many parts of the island and our “Yaad,” as they say, are gradually coming back to life and look green and fresh again. ACE had committed to sending one 40ft container to Jamaica before Melissa hit the island on October 28th....
