DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Details

Located in the Caribbean, The Dominican Republic is often thought of as a tropical vacation destination. However, a large percentage of its 11 million people live in poverty compared to the US. With its location in the Caribbean, The Dominican Republic is constantly battered with tropical storms that constantly wreak havoc on the country.

All of this combines to create needs that you can help meet by going with Crossroads Missions. Disciples’ Village began just across the border in Haiti after the devastating earthquake in 2010. Civil unrest in Haiti has opened new opportunities for Disciples’ Village to continue their mission to “make disciples of Jesus Christ” in The Dominican Republic. Disciples’ Village is building new roots to help meet the physical (adequate food, safe homes, clean drinking water, basic medical attention) and spiritual needs of children in The Dominican Republic.

We will partner with Disciples’ Village

Your team will have the opportunity to get to work with Disciples’ Village, an organization focused on serving orphans through providing meals for hungry tummies, beds for tired bodies, and safety for vulnerable souls.

We will provide medical needs.

Your team will be able to host small medical outreach opportunities in order to meet the needs of local people and connect them with the local believers with whom you are working.

We will train local church leaders.

Your team will also have the opportunity to help train young leaders in the Dominican Republic’s spiritual community who do not have the chance to go to seminary.
