I’m excited to announce that I will be leading a trip to the Dominican Republic this summer with CCV and GO Ministries. I have been to the Dominican Republic about a dozen times and I’m stoked to take a small group of 15 people to see the impact that’s being made long term. We can contribute for a week, but make an eternal impression on the lives of men and women and families in extreme poverty – and they’ll teach us something powerful.  Join me this summer as we live curiously for the sake of Jesus.

Here are just a few FAQ’s

What will we be doing?
GO Ministries partners with over 60 local leaders to bring hope and peace to communities. Our team will likely focus on sports and construction – leading the kiddos in sports clinics and games and doing whatever projects the neighborhood needs – painting, mixing concrete, lay brick, dig foundations, etc, and perhaps even spending time with the kids just showing them love and attention. Our desire is that CCV share God’s Word in both word and deed.

Where do we stay and what will we eat?
The team will stay in the city of Santiago, more specifically in the barrio of Hoya del Caimito. This is the headquarters of GO Ministries in the D.R.. Eduard Gabriel is the President of GO Ministries, Inc. in the Dominican Republic. The team will sleep in one of four dormitories located in the community.

Do I need a passport?
A Valid passport is required for all participants and can not expire within 6 months of the trip’s return date. Please visit travel.state.gov for up to date information and to apply.
