Junior
Mission for All
JMA stands for Junior Mission for All. It is a group for children and young people which began within the Methodist Church as early as 1812.
In 1841 a magazine was produced for the youngsters to learn about the work of the church overseas. In 1903 medals were presented for every £5 collected.
The JMA Rainbow magazine published today is a valuable resource with news from mission partners around the world.
In one edition of Rainbow a message sent to JMA members from the church in Maputo, Mozambique during the floods read “Your prayers span the flood water like the JMA Rainbow, thank you for your fund-raising. Keep praying and continue working and do it with a colourful smile of love”.
JMA members serve by collecting money from church members and friends and by holding special fund-raising events bringing the total raised each year, in this church to over £2,000.
