When ACE says we have long-term volunteers, we are not joking! Many of you have met Arlene from New Jersey, but did you know this friend of ACE just turned 80?! And she is still going strong, the most young-at-heart go-getter we know....

In our years of changing lives and transforming communities, God always places the people who He wants us to touch within our reach. We never aspire to do more than God has equipped us to do, thus our mantra of "Deep not Wide"....

We want to give a big thank you to all the wonderful volunteers and sponsors whose generosity and time made this summer a great success.

ACE is in full swing for fall and, after three years of prayers, concerns, and faith walks, we as a staff feel that God has restored all the lost time we experienced during the “Covid” years...

Answered Prayers & Prayer Requests

PRAYER REQUEST We have a lot of families with low funds that are feeling the pinch of school starting. If you are considering sending a donation to help for school start-up, please do so now. Thank you for the donors that have been so faithful over the years to help this cause.

ANSWERED PRAYER Pastor Omar will host the first Peace House dinner next month. While we have had events like Easter and Christmas in the Peace House, this will be the beginning of the weekly dinner and teaching of the Word. Pray for Omar as he starts with the basics: what is the Bible and why.

PRAYER REQUEST When the Peace House dinners start weekly, ACE has committed to providing the chicken and rice each week. This will be for approximately 40 people a week. We need help in funding this commitment. If you feel led to help on a one-time basis or a monthly basis, please call our Stateside Office for details.

ANSWERED PRAYER Buccaneers is expanding their food court. Where our teams eat pizza on a Sunday night at our own Gungu tree handmade bar, we’ve opened Morgan’s (formerly Henry’s Hideout). It’s a more upscale experience for adults who want to sit, visit, or have a business meeting. By completing this area of Buccaneers, two more St. Mary ladies find employment. Tapas is on the future menu for something different, but their pizzas and quesadillas are already awesome!

PRAYER REQUEST Please pray for construction workers to help us build our homes for our village and the CrumEwing cottage. We have had the funds donated or committed for building yet lack the skills and people to build it. Foundations are laid and supplies ready! Would you consider bringing a small team down and help us build them? We have families waiting.

ANSWERED PRAYER Our ACE staff in America is an incredible support to all of us in Jamaica. Without them, you would get annoyed easily from our lack of response to your inquires. Thank you, Stateside Staff, for all your help!
