In the heart of Central Village, St Catherine, a small revival church has been quietly transforming lives for more than a decade through an annual summer school programme that has become a lifeline for children and families in the community.

At a time when many inner-city communities face social and economic challenges, the summer programme hosted by Born Again Mystic Deliverance Ministry at 21 Russell Avenue stands as a beacon of hope, education and mentorship.

Each summer, the church grounds come alive with the sounds of children learning, playing and building friendships. From toddlers taking their first steps into structured learning to teenagers preparing for major examinations, the programme caters to children between the ages of three and 18, attracting as many as 40 participants annually.
