Dominican Republic | Family (6+) 2026
Harris Creek families, join us as we partner with Mission of Hope to engage the lost, equip the saints, and empower the church in the Dominican Republic!
ABOUT THE TRIP
Short-term trips are an incredible opportunity to grow spiritually, to cultivate an awareness of the world and needs around you, and to respond to God’s call to make disciples among all nations through personal, servant-minded ministry. We will partner with Mission of Hope, a missions ministry in Haiti and the Dominican Republic primarily working in and through local, indigenous churches and pastors.
Our Harris Creek team will have an opportunity to impact the Dominican Republic, just as much as the trip itself will have a long-term impact on our own lives. We will be a part of building intentional relationships in communities through work projects, ministry activities, and evangelism. Empowering indigenous leaders leads to sustainable change. When our team works alongside these local churches and ministry partners who know the needs of their communities, we are able to help these ministries serve more efficiently and effectively as we share the love of Christ together.
These trips are a place to experience God. They are a time to step away from your typical week, get a little out of your comfort zone, and experience life in a different place. Mission of Hope's desire is that your trip refreshes your soul and is a journey you never forget!

ABOUT THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The Dominican Republic is the second largest Caribbean nation by size and third by population. It is located on the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. Despite improvements in recent years, there is still significant poverty throughout the Dominican Republic. Large communities of Haitian people have moved to the Dominican Republic in hopes of a better life, but they have instead been met with significant challenges. Located in the middle of the country is Mission of Hope's beautiful Jarabacoa Campus in the city of Jarabacoa. Because Jarabacoa is at the center of the country, it is a strategic area to launch out from for maximal kingdom impact throughout the entire country.
