Thank Offering 2021: Fern EMC, Jamaica

By Pas. Joe McKnight
Pastor Meggie Scott and his wife Barbara have faithfully served at the Fern Evangelical Methodist Church (EMC) in Cambridge, Jamaica, for over 30 years. The Fern EM Church is high in the mountains, deep in the interior of the Island.

Pastor Meggie Scott and his wife Barbara have faithfully served at the Fern Evangelical Methodist Church (EMC) in Cambridge, Jamaica, for over 30 years.  The Fern EM Church is high in the mountains, deep in the interior of the Island.  The Fern district has little industry and is a very poor area.  Pastor Meggie supplements the family's income by farming crops and livestock. Pastor Meggie grew up in the Fern congregation and was very active in the youth group.  As a teenager, he was known throughout the community for his testimony for Christ.  He began preaching as a young man when the elderly pastor of the church became ill and has continued unto this day.  In addition to the ministry at Fern, Pastor Meggie also conducts worship services and Sunday School at the Smithfield Evangelical Methodist Church. Covid has devastated the entire island of Jamaica, particularly the churches, due to mandatory closures and quarantine. Meggie and Barbara have two children, a daughter Soleil who is in college studying Education, and a son Sunil who is in ninth grade.  This family would be greatly blessed by your support.
