“We Can for Jamaica” Charity Concert to Raise Funds for Hurricane Melissa Victims’ Home Repairs

We Can for Jamaica, a charity concert organized by the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s Youth Ministries Department in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, aims to restore hope and support communities affected by Hurricane Melissa. The event, scheduled for March 8th at 6:00 p.m. in Independence Park, will bring together leading gospel artists from the Caribbean to raise funds for rebuilding homes in St. Elizabeth Parish, one of the areas most severely impacted by the storm.

The concert represents a practical expression of faith and community solidarity, emphasizing the Adventist Church’s commitment to serving others in times of need. Pastor Brent, a spokesperson for the initiative, highlighted the importance of collective action, stating that the event is about standing with Caribbean neighbors through faith, music, and community support.

The lineup features prominent gospel artists from St. Vincent and the Grenadines, including D’Andra Charles, Adventist Praise Team, Juanita King, Gideon Soleyn, Caywama Edwards-Cottle, Sherika Shallow, and Pearl McMaster. The event will also feature Jamaican gospel minister Petra Kaye, adding an international dimension to the cause.

The concert is designed to be a family-friendly event, with activities for children such as bouncing castles and slides beginning at 4:00 p.m. Food and snacks will be available for purchase, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all attendees.

Tickets for the event are affordably priced at $30 for adults and $10 for children, making it accessible to a wide audience. Tickets can be purchased at Super Health Pharmacies 1 and 2 in Kingstown and Mesopotamia, as well as at the SDA Mission Headquarters in Bloc 2000, B.

This initiative reflects the Adventist Church’s mission of compassion and service, aligning with the biblical call to care for the vulnerable and support one another in times of hardship. As Proverbs 18:17 reminds us, “The first to present his case will seem right, until another comes forward and examines him.” The concert embodies this principle, offering a platform for collective action and hope in the face of adversity.
