Where we mission
Our mission trips are focused in the Dominican Republic, in communities that love and serve the Lord, away from urban centers and with limited resources. We serve schools by delivering Bible study programs, teaching English, celebrating the arts, and supporting teacher development. We also serve schools through construction, facility upgrades, and improvements. Our missions also serve healthcare through week-long clinic work onsite in the community, caring for over 800 individuals each trip. Finally, teams move out into surrounding communities to deliver nutrition, build homes, and pray over the ill and needy.
Mission Trip Values
Our mission is deeply rooted in the biblical value that we take the side of the needy, bringing them comfort, support, and empowerment. These values guide our mission trips:
- Compassion and Brotherly Love
- Wise Stewardship
- Sustainability
- Partnering with Others
