Over
200 youth and youth leaders from the East and Central Jamaica
Conferences of Seventh-day Adventists turned out in Downtown
Kingston, Jamaica on Feb. 25, for a clean-up campaign. The project
is an initiative of Hope 2007, which is an umbrella organization
bringing together partners from various Christian denominations in
Jamaica, to make an impact on the nation.
The Adventist youth joined over 400 other young people from other
Christian denominations who were out on Saturday, February 24, to
make their contribution to this noble effort.
Inspired by the presence and participation of the Youth Ministries
directors of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the West Indies
Union and the East Jamaica Conference, Pastors Charles Blythe and
Ryan Simpson respectively, the youths converged on the St. William
Grant Park, Harbour Street and the Kingston Craft Market, cleaning,
painting and removing garbage. The effort has been strongly
supported by the government, private sector, and many other
organizations.
This was the first in a series of efforts spearheaded by the Hope
2007 church group. The project will continue throughout other
communities across the country this year.

The project will also seek to reach souls for Jesus Christ and will
include tract distribution among other outreach programs.
