The Caribbean Christian Centre for the Deaf exists to reach, teach and nurture the Deaf of Jamaica. Many students arrive as young as three years old without a language or the ability to communicate. Through dedicated teachers and staff they receive language and through communication gain access to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This work begins in residential schools and extends into adult education, job training, discipleship and life in community through the Deaf church and the Jamaica Deaf Village. The goal is for every person in their care to become who God created them to be and to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
You may recall that late in the year 2025 there was a devastating hurricane that ravaged the island of Jamaica. The buildings and campuses of our friends with the Caribbean Christian Center for the Deaf were utterly decimated. We’re creating space this Lent to support the rebuilding effort of CCCD. We will also send a team of people from Pillar to Jamaica in March to put hands and feet and hearts of love and compassion with our financial gift. Please consider supporting that rebuilding effort by going to pillarchurch.com. Search the give link and designate it CCCD. Scattered throughout this journal are pictures of the facilities, children, and staff of CCCD. When you see the pictures, we hope you will take a moment to keep them in prayer as we walk through the season of Lent together.
