Welcome to Our Blog
Welcome to our blog—a space where we share the heart of our mission. Through stories, updates, and reflections, you’ll see how God is moving through our community outreach in Jamaica. Whether it’s a small act of kindness or a life-changing moment, we’re here to shine a light on the love and transformation happening every day.
At the Last Minute
As soon as the previous Men and Women’s Conference wraps up each year, we are already setting the date for the next one. So, 2022’s conference dates had been on our calendar since last March, with lots of interest brewing and the format in the making. Our friends from...
Wellness Comes in Many Forms
For the first time in two years, ACE has enjoyed having friends come to Jamaica to serve our lonely residents and needy families in St. Mary. This month, Dr. Steve Guy, our Chairman of ACE, brought down some neat friends of ACE. Some were new, some return volunteers,...
Recycling an Old Tree
There are a lot of beautiful over-100-year-old trees on the Green Life Farm. One of the most beautiful and sought-after trees is called a Guango. To us, it looks like the Tree of Life in Avatar, where everything lives in it and under it. A few months ago, Allen and...
Cloud 9 gets crankin’ again!!
It’s been a while since Pat has been making chocolate in our Cloud 9 chocolate factory. But this week, the lights were on, the machines were grinding, and the sweet smell of Jamaican chocolate was in the air again. Bruce Smith, our founding ACE chocolatier, arrived on...
Until We Meet Again

Paying off the Farm

Christmas and Celebrations
Thanks to ACE’s dear friends, Tina and Luke, all of our sponsored students and friends celebrated Christmas in style! As the COVID syndrome continues globally, the Rebel Ministries team came through unafraid, full of life and energy. The last week of 2021 ended with...
New Year, New Faces
ACE is always changing! That is to be expected when people are involved in the lives of others, and this year will be no different in Jamaica. Remember our own Anthony, the beekeeper? Well, Anthony is all grown up, out of school for the moment (he graduated), and he...
A Year in Review (Happy New Year 2022!)
2021 brought a bit more normalcy to our lives, thank goodness! As many of us can relate in our own lives, we aren't quite "normal" yet, but we continue to take baby steps with hope and faith. Thank you to all of the volunteers who never gave up praying for ACE and...
Skill Sets We Wish We Had
Many of us are good at cooking, writing, organization, and even decorating our homes, but what about repairing a 150-year-old bridge with stones found in the yard? At Green Life Llanrumney Farms, another micro-business of ACE, we have been finding all kinds of...
