An Adventure Awaits You In The Dominican Republic!
With blue waters and white sands, the Dominican Republic looks like paradise, but not everything is perfect.
The Dominican Republic is soaked in history. One of the first landing points for Christopher Columbus during his 1492 encounter with the Americas, it later became the site of the first European colony. Europe’s influence on the island can still be seen in Santo Domingo, the DR’s largest city.
Although known for its vast sugar plantations, the economy of the DR now depends on tourism and the service industry. Political corruption remains a lasting issue, as does the ever-expanding gap between the wealth of the rich and the poverty of the poor.
While many Dominicans claim Christianity as their faith, estimates suggest that 70% of people are Christians in name only. Most Dominicans need to encounter Jesus in a fresh way.
You can bring that new life to the DR.
Your team will travel into the distant villages of the Dominican Republic, helping ministry partners plant new churches as well as serve and strengthen recent church plants.
You can bring local communities together through sports outreaches and dramas, engaging with them and sharing the joy that’s found in a personal relationship with Jesus.
You’ll recover your own childlike faith as your team teaches Vacation Bible School sessions and tells stories of God’s faithfulness throughout the ages to the children of the DR.
You could also experience the beauty of the DR’s mountains, forests, and sandy beaches.
Bring the gospel to some of the most remote villages in the Western Hemisphere. Be the face of Jesus to the Dominican Republic!
