Description

Soon thereafter, five friends from Oberlin College Ohio - protégées of perfectionist Charles. G. Finney & abolitionist Asa Mahan, future military strategist to President Abraham Lincoln, sailed to Jamaica to assist the Mission's founding father and his native friends who needed educational & ministry support in the hidden nature's paradise of eastern Jamaica - from the picturesque hills of St. Andrew through the neighboring parishes of St. Mary and Portland Jamaica.In an era of missionary rivalry, the Oberlin Ohio Alumni, had an eventful experience as they pushed towards achieving their vision of helping blacks and to show pro-slavery supporters in America that emancipation was successful and bore positive fruits. Supported by abolitionist friends George Whipple, Theodore Weld, Amos Phelps, Lewis & Arthur Tappan, JWC Pennington and a few others who eventually formed the American Missionary Association (AMA), the adventurous missionaries utilized their gifts and with a passion for enterprise, manual labour and skills training; taught, ministered, marketed Jamaica and laid the foundation for several institutions and churches including Golden Vale (Portland) Brainerd, Hermitage Chesterfield, Brandon Hill, Devon Pen, Eliot, Providence, Rock River, Richmond Estate (St. Mary), Salisbury Plain, Oberlin, Shortwood (St. Andrew) and Duke Street (Kingston).Examine the TRUE FOUNDING-FATHERS of the Oberlin & Brainerd Communities Jamaica.
