Minnesota Missionary Team

Over the years the missionary team from Minnesota headed by Dick and Lois Hokanson has been known to make annual trips to Spring Village. Each time they bring a host of people with them some new and others repeat visitors to share their knowledge and goodwill to help build our community.

Some members of the team have been on frequent missions trips to Jamaica since the mid 80’s and therefore are no stranger to missionary work in our country. They operate under the auspices of Project Increase, which is a missionary focused organization with roots in West St. Paul, Minnesota. The organization specializes in connecting churches, ministries and other groups to short term missions opportunities in Jamaica. Their work is focused on meeting the physical and spiritual needs of our people through education, evangelism and humanitarian aid.

In 2008 the team made their annual trek to Spring Village, where they helped to provide eyeglasses to the needy, teach academic courses, participate in construction projects and minister to the spiritual needs of those in our community. They are being hosted by our local Gospel Assembly church and are also in partnership with our skills training centre which is in close proximity.

Each year they leave their comfort zone to share the love of Christ with us through works of service and for this we are eternally grateful.
