Dominican Republic mission opportunity- July 26 thru August 7
We will be teaming up with Students International to return to a mission site where we have had an ongoing relationship for many years. Please prayerfully consider being a part of something that will change your live and give you a kingdom perspective. If you are interested in being a part of this trip please leave your name in the reply below. Here’s a little about SI.
SI’s style is relational and is therefore centered around our long-standing presence within the communities where we work. This may be challenging for people who expect to see immediate “results” in evangelism and project completion. As a result, however, we see outreach participants and the poor transformed into the likeness of Christ and discover their true calling.
The most common objectives for short-term mission outreaches are to broaden our perspective of the world and our responsibility to it, deepen our relationship with the Lord, and share the Gospel with others in need. While these objectives are important and needed, Students International intentionally strives to accomplish three additional goals:
- Enabling outreach participants and the poor to discover how God can use them in their occupation.
- Providing outreach participants and the poor the opportunity to be a part of ongoing ministry and not just a short outreach where follow up is difficult.
- Helping outreach participants and the poor understand the value of building personal relationships in sharing the Gospel.
Participants spend from 14 days working alongside SI staff at a ministry site. Each ministry site is within close proximity of our facilities and has a different occupational focus: agribusiness, appropriate technology, art, construction, dentistry, education, health care, physical therapy, social work, special education, and sports.
