They lived there until moving back to the United States in 1978.

Mrs. Debbie Foster
In 1968 Debra Foster’s father, Ted Weitzel, moved his family to Montego Bay, Jamaica. She met her husband, Andrew Foster, at Rosemount Missionary Church. Because of her father’s active involvement with Jamaica Theological Seminary (JTS), Andrew joined the Board of JTS and helped Ted establish “Friends of JTS,” a registered with US IRS approval to solicit funds for JTS. Working alongside Andrew in that effort, Debra was fully aware of their very important contribution to JTS. When Andrew passed, she took his place on the Friends Board. She is pleased to work with a Board of very talented and dedicated people who are assisting JTS with financial support.
