2008 Dominican Republic Missions Trip (SIGNUP FORMS DUE THIS WEEK)



We are excited about our 2008 missions trip for !GNITE. We will be going to the Dominican Republic to support a Christian group called SCORE International. The trip will be from Tuesday, August 19th to the Monday, 25th.

Check out all the details below and pray about joining us as we serve the Lord in another country! Last year's trip was amazing. We had 10 students and 5 leaders. This year we hope to bring 12 students and 6 leaders.

The students served God by:

  • Sharing the Gosepl in skits
  • Loving children in sugarcane villages
  • Helping out at a girls orphanage
  • Visiting a handicap orphanage
  • Handing out tracts in the city
No matter what we did to get their attention we always ended by having our spanish speakers translate for us as the students shared about Jesus. It was great to see that God used our students to grab a hold of many hearts in the Dominican. We are praying for another amazing work of God in 2008! Pray about it, but remember that the application deadlines is March 26th.

Check out the photos and stories from last year's mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

MISSION TRIP UPDATE: Day #1
We made it to the SCORE Hotel today. We were a little delayed because we lost a few bags. We actually left a few bags in the van underneath the seat. Silly us. It's nothing crucial. We are buying come extra clothes for one of the team members. Our plane was delayed an hour, but we had lots of fun traveling together...

MISSION TRIP UPDATE: Day #4
We had another great day. This morning we went to JUBMO to buy food for 20 families using the money our youth group gave in offerings this year. After shopping we headed to the village with food and toys. The SCORE leader handed out numbers to the poorest families to come back in 30 minutes to get the food. While we were waiting we played with the kids.

MISSION TRIP UPDATE: Day #5
Day 5 was refreshing. We had devotions this morning in 1 Peter 1 and this evening in 1 Peter 2. After breakfast we headed to Pastor Jay's Camp. He is a great man who visits the sugarcane villages and teaches the Bible and plants churches. If the kids are diligent to learn scriptures and write out entire books of the Bible then they earn trips to his camp that has a great baseball field, basketball court, volleyball court, shade and a huge pool...Check out the photos!

MISSION TRIP UPDATE: Day #6
Our last full day was great. After devotions and breakfast we headed to Santo Domingo to hand out tracts and bracelets in the city. The very first kid we handed a tract to started asking questions, asked for prayer, and then asked to receive the Lord! Check out the photos...
