For 25 years, American Caribbean Experience has been serving the people of Jamaica through education, health care, enterprise and discipleship.  From teaching children to read, to pulling teeth, to financing small businesses, to training the island’s future chefs and teachers, ACE has taken every measure necessary to “love their neighbors.” While this is a story about a particular place and its people, it’s also a story about all of us: How God works through broken people and in broken places to do beautiful things.
