Jamaican History

Our work in Jamaica goes back to 1945. Originally, Rev. James B. O'Sullivan was recruited to head up new mission work in the Bahamas, but on his way there, a hurricane shipwrecked him off the coast of Cuba. Several weeks later, he arrived in Jamaica. By then, the mission board had decided not to proceed with expansion into the Bahamas. Instead, they invited O'Sullivan to begin working in Jamaica. That is how Jamaica Conference got started. A conference of eleven churches was organized in 1952. James O'Sullivan died in October 2001.

Today we have 27 churches in 8 Parishes
