An adventure awaits you in the Bahamas!
Tiny islands dot the sparkling blue water, showcasing this nation’s facade of pure luxury, but this idyllic vacation spot harbors some dark secrets.
The Bahamas are full of history and adventure. The islands have been a haven for pirates, explorers, and weary vacationers alike.
While tourism and financial services dominate the economy—one of the wealthiest in the Western hemisphere – the divide between rich and poor seems impossible to bridge.
Hurricanes frequently devastate the low-lying Bahamian islands, perpetuating the already deep divide between the rich and the poor. While the rich build strong structures to protect themselves from damage, the less fortunate occupy shaky homes that are vulnerable to destruction.
Farmers struggle to survive while the rich play in the sand and sun. The urban poor fight for equal access to education, healthcare, and housing.
Because the Bahamian islands are typically seen as solely a vacation spot, much of the suffering goes unnoticed. The Bahamian people need you to look past the nation’s luxurious reputation and bring hope and life to their islands.
Ministry:
While in the Bahamas, ministry opportunities include
- Community Outreach: You will partner with a local church in community outreach, working with people in need and sharing the hope and love of Christ with everyone you meet.
- Work Projects: There will be an opportunity for light construction or manual labor projects like repairs, working in gardens, or restoration projects around the community.
- Beach Ministry: You could clean up the beach one day, helping take care of the beauty God created. Not to mention sharing your faith while on your off day, which could very well be spent on that same beach.
The unnoticed in the Bahamas are waiting. Will you show them they’re not forgotten?
