~Dominican Republic~

Though the islands are often known for white beaches, tropical tunes, and fancy resorts, the spiritual climate in the Dominican Republic stands in stark contrast to your typical view of "island life". The people of the Dominican Republic suffer from the effects of poverty, and are desperate for a taste of the good news that you will bring to them on your trip. Picture lots of dark-skinned, Spanish-speaking kids clinging to your arms as you walk down the streets, mother's calling to you as they bend over wash buckets, and the sound of worship flooding out the open windows of a Caribbean church.

In the DR, you will have the chance to be Jesus' hands and feet extended as you take His love to this sweet, welcoming island.
