New Multi-Purpose Centre Opens at Mustard Seed Communities Jerusalem in Spanish Town

It was a great day to be a part of the Mustard Seed Communities (MSC) on Wednesday, May 26, as the doors of a newly constructed multi-purpose centre were opened at MSC Jerusalem in Spanish Town. Previously, meetings and activities for the residents were held in a humble, 100-year old chapel. However, with 165 persons now living on the 8-acre property, which is leased from the Government of Jamaica, a larger space was needed. The Digicel Foundation stepped in with $16.5 million to build the Care Plus Centre of Excellence, which houses a kitchen, multi-purpose meeting rooms and a computer lab. The building will also serve as a fallout shelter for residents in the event of a natural disaster.
