On October 26, 2025, Hurricane Melissa made landfall on the island of Jamaica.
Hurricane Melissa was a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds reported at around 185 mph left the southwestern part of Jamaica (the parish of St. Elizabeth / town of Black River) with extreme damage: entire communities were flooded, homes were destroyed, and hospitals were damaged.
The storm has left the region in a state of crisis.
In disasters like these, the damage can feel overwhelming, not just in the physical, but in the hearts of a community.
Though the scope of the work is far beyond what we could accomplish in our human efforts, we know one thing to be true — the mandate is clear and the invitation simple: “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” John 13:34.
We know the circumstances are overwhelming, but the Lord does not turn a blind eye to the poor in spirit or retreat from the broken-hearted; rather, he rushes toward them.
Bethel Global Response is sending a team to Jamaica and wanted to invite you to partner with us in prayer and support.
