In a remarkable demonstration of compassion and community engagement, the crew of Her Majesty’s Bahamian Ship (HMBS) Bahamas, under the leadership of Lieutenant Commander Alexis Brown, executed a charitable initiative to support the Great Commission Ministries on Wulf Rd., Nassau, Bahamas.
The charitable endeavor involved a generous donation of food and clothing items by the dedicated crew of HMBS Bahamas. Additionally, the ship’s company actively participated in hands-on assistance at the Great Commission Ministries, a daily ministry that tirelessly works to provide sustenance to the less fortunate and shelter for the homeless.
Great Commission Ministries, an invaluable pillar of support for the vulnerable in the community, and often appeals for continued assistance to sustain their impactful work. Founded in November 1987 by Bishop Walter Hanchell, Great Commission Ministries has been a beacon of hope, offering aid to those in need for over three decades. The commitment of the ministry to the welfare of the community has been unwavering, embodying the spirit of selflessness and compassion.
Mrs. Tameka Moxey, a dedicated member of the non-governmental organization (NGO), along with Sub Lieutenant Opal Farquharson, played a pivotal role in organizing and planning the HMBS Bahamas Crew’s involvement in this noble cause. When asked about the significance of giving back, Sub Lieutenant Opal Farquharson emphasized the importance of extending assistance to those less fortunate and in need, underlining the ethos of community service ingrained in the military values.
This collaborative effort between HMBS Bahamas and Great Commission Ministries stands as a testament to the military’s commitment to not only safeguarding the nation but also actively participating in initiatives that uplift and support the local community.

King, exemplifies the Royal Bahamas Defence Force’s commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen through a range of extensive outreach initiatives and projects. These endeavors aim to strengthen community relations, positively impact individuals, and contribute to the development of thriving communities.
