DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Summer

Our Dominican Republic team has been in partnership with people around San Pedro de Macoris since 2003. While primarily focused on serving with a local church in medical missions and eye glasses, the team takes people of all types of gifts and skills as they provide resources and work with the children of the communities in which they serve. This team visits annually in June. Each year there are first time mission volunteers.  Click here for more information.
