A+

The Ministry of Education has introduced a system wherein primary school students must pass the Grade 4 Literacy Test (hence achieving the Certificate of Literacy) before sitting the Grade Six Achivement Test (GSAT). Our Programme is aimed at providing special support to ensure that these students achieve Literacey to qualify for sitting and being successful at the GSAT.

We have identified a few suitable venues that will remian nameless until confirmation is attained.

The programme will require but restricted to the following items:

A detailed budget is being prepared for those who desire to partner with us in "Changing the world by changing lives" Our account information and approved method of payment will be furnished to interested persons in due course.

We want to give these children the best care in the warmest environment so that they can maximise this opportunity. We desire to offer tutorship at the highest quality and so we'll also need volunteers to even sit with the students and guide them in class, prepare and share lunches, etc. We envision a facility fully equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and material that will foster quick and effective learning.

MIGHTY TO SAVE!!!

We are burdened with what has been happening in our society, particularly to our youths... the crime, violence, murders, abductions, rapes, etc. Well, Fruitful Trees Ministries is partnering with one of our Affiliates, Kavan Allen from the Gospel Rap/Reggae Duo, G-Tuff, to positively impact the lives of teens in the Metropolitan Area of Jamaica's Capital city, Kingston. We are planning to host a 3-day camp/conference for these teens where we will be able to positively and permanently impact their lives - if we can jolt their minds towards a positive way forward, their actions will reflect the change. 

The theme is "MIGHTY TO SAVE!" and the purpose of this event is two-folds:

• To help Teenage Believers (Christians) to realise that they are the "Carriers" of the solution i.e. the Kingdom of God and 

 

• Not-yet-believing teenagers (non-Christians) to realise that they were created to become a part of the solution by colonising the entire earth with the Kingdom of God  

At a meeting with our Affiliate, we identified the following: 

The vision is huge! We are trusting God for maximum coverage and impact so we are targeting and preparing for 10,000. This event must be "out of the box", "off the chain" and completely unconventional!!! This will definitely be the very first of its kind in the island of Jamaica! Excellence at its highest! Did I mention that we want it to be absolutely free to all attendees? That's our aim because we want no teenager to have an excuse to be absent, they MUST attend!!!

The event will include but not be restricted to the following areas:

•  
  • (The Arts in Worship - music and perhaps dance, sign language
  • Technical engineering - sound, light, video, audio-visual, photography, etc
  • Culinary - foods & beverages
  • First Aid - on standby for emergencies 
  • Security - to ensure safety
  • Finance - fundraising, sponsorship, donations, subsidies, discounts, waivers, exemptions
  • Administration - correspondence, database management, website, info management
  • Promotions - advertisements, flyers, posters, emails, text messages, calls, T-shirts, booth set-ups in plazas
  • Sports - friendly games and other events
  • Logistics - to ensure smooth flow of the event
  • Transportation - of personnel, equipment, instuments, foods, other supplies

We want to hit the schools by January so ground work must be in advance stage by then. We'll be promoting it through mass media as well as devotions, meetings and other events at strategis schools.

•  
  • To interceed before we proceed for clear direction from God
  • Manpower from the right people
  • Financing from the right sources
  • Skill sets and expertise from the right individuals
  • To research on similar events in first-world countries

We are currently putting together an excellent planning and executing team to start meeting. We will partnering with a number of 'key' persons and organisations in Jamaica and other countries on this life-changing project for our youths.

BABY RUTH REYNOLDS FOUNDATION

January 10, 2008 the daughter of Jamaican Gospel Music Minister, Ryan Mark, was born prematurely. However Baby Ruth Reynolds died three days after due to the inability to get immediate respiratory support for her. As a result, Ryan Mark was propelled to launch the BABY RUTH REYNOLDS FOUNDATION (BRRF). The Launch of the foundation would be in two folds:

1. In her memory
2. To provide ongoing financial support for provision of machinery and equipment necessary in the post natal care of babies particularly those born prematurely. Initial focus is for the Bustamante Children’s Hospital and Victoria Jubilee Hospital.

Fruitful Trees Ministries has joined in this effort to make a donation to assist in the purchase of the abovementioned machinery. Part proceeds of "Shabach! 2008 - Unshackled" will be in aid of this foundation.

FUTURE PROJECTS

HOMELESS

It is so ironic that the business capitals of our country, the very places where significant proportions of incomeare generated, are also the "home" for so many homeless people. Driving along the streets one will see or even encounter someone soliciting small change to buy food or offering to wipe the windscreen of your car for a small change. There are also a few persons who are insane from life's pressures or apparently the abuse of drugs. This may not mean much to the average citizen on the surface but imagine if a mother or a brother was such a victim, one would want to know that there is some provision that will make the victim's life better. These victims are precious human beings like us and need our love and care just the same. There are so many ways in which we can help. Our ministry is still young and still in the process of garnering support from those around us with like passions so that we can reach out to these people. This is definitle something we'll be doing so please keep chicking this page for developments on our Welfare ministry.

ORPHANS

There are so many childrens' homes scattered across our island Jamaica and by extension, the entire world. These children are often emotionally damaged and develop low self esteem which in turn render them disfunctional. Many unresolved issues cause these children, when they become adults, to carry around lots of baggages throughout their lives that inevitably affect their relationships, marriage, parenthood, general ethics and even work attitudes. When these adults have children, the cycle is often duplicated and perpetuated for generations. We want to brake these cycles by impacting these young minds whilst they are still in their formative stages. We will make great men and women from children who would have otherwise been failures.

REMEDIAL READING

A multiplicity of children in and out of schools are practically illiterate to a large extent even up to teenage years. This limits their comptence levels and ultimately their marketability in the job world. This again will affect their self esteem and may cause rebellious, unconstructive  and even destructive behaviour. This has been evidenced in the class rooms of many of our elementary schools where the "slower" students are the "mischief-makers". The psychological explanation may be that they already feel like failures so, "why bother to try?" At this point, they choose to occupy their time with play, mischieve and even dangerous activities. It is not that they are "bad", they simply need real love and care that will grab their attention so that they can be timely developed into epitomy of greatness. This is what we'll be doing.

THE SICK

There are many persons in our communities and the society at large that are suffering miserably will a number of illnessess; sometimes fatal ones too. These persons are generally those who find it challenging to help themselves like the very young and the elderly. Additionally, there are thousands of AIDS victims of varied ages, even children, right accross the Caribbean and the rest of the world who cannot even afford the medication and clinical treatment necessary to maintain healthy lives. We believe that we should be able to redirect resources and influence persons and organisations to give to such causes. Its strange how many of us never see the relevance of helping the sick until a very close friend of relative falls ill. We don't want to turn a blind eye so we hope to embark on such projects and programmes in the future.
