Coming Up Next Month!
It may be cold in January, but it’s beautiful weather here in St. Mary, Jamaica. Next month is our 18th Annual Men’s and Women’s Conference at Galina Breeze Hotel. Our theme is, “From Pain to Purpose.” Not just because hurricane Melissa gave us a visit last quarter,...
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 looking green and fresh again. ACE had committed to sending one 40ft container to Jamaica before Melissa hit the island on October...
A Heartfelt Thanks & Christmas Blessings

Althia’s Angle: The Faces of AMI
While the economy has slowed down here in Jamaica, our ACE Mobile Infirmary (AMI) program continues to thrive as we welcome new faces to the program! That’s because we believe our elders in need within our community deserve to have their basic needs like food and...
It’s Time to Share Your Faith
With the recent events surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, we can’t help but reflect on what his life and his message for the world have to do with ACE. Because we believe this battle isn’t political, it’s spiritual. Charlie Kirk challenged everyone to boldly...
Marla’s Minute: Finding Your Purpose or Calling
While enjoying my first cup of coffee the other day, I began rereading the book of Jeremiah. It’s interesting how the New and Old Testaments go hand in hand if you analyze the verses a little deeper than normal. I’m sure God knew that when He wrote it. Jeremiah was a...
