• Christianity is numerically strong but spiritually weak. A third of the population goes to church, but the violence, moral collapse in society and the internal divisions and compromise with sin among Christians, cripples initiative and hinders witness.

[edit] Mission and Evangelization

• On April 9, 2008, a team of songwriters began writing songs for the Jamaican Church. The songs are based on Scripture utilizing two primary languages of Jamaica, English and Creole. Ethnomusicologist Jo-Ann Richards encourages them to use indigenous forms of music. The goal is to establish at least ten song-writing teams across the island before the end of 2008. Pray that this goal may be realized, and that the music will contribute to increased freedom and life in worship in the Jamaican Church.
