CLOSED Dominican Republic | Medical 2026

Join us as we partner with Mission of Hope to engage the lost, equip the saints, and empower the church in the Dominican Republic! “Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:11)

ABOUT THE TRIP

Short-term trips are an incredible opportunity to step away from your routine, grow spiritually, and see God at work in a new culture. On this trip, our team will partner with Mission of Hope, a ministry serving Haiti and the Dominican Republic through the strength of local churches and indigenous leaders.

Together, we’ll build intentional relationships, support local communities through work projects and ministry activities, and join in gospel-centered conversations. When we work alongside pastors and churches who know the heartbeat of their people, we empower them to serve more effectively and sustainably. As Paul wrote, “We are God’s fellow workers” (1 Corinthians 3:9), and it’s our joy to come alongside the church in the Dominican Republic as we share the love of Christ.

This trip is not only about what God will do through us in the DR, but also what He will do in us. Mission of Hope desires every trip to be a soul-refreshing, faith-deepening, unforgettable experience.

ABOUT MISSION OF HOPE

Mission of Hope exists to bring life transformation to every man, woman, and child. With campuses in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, they focus on church advancement, nutrition, education, and medical care. For over 20 years, they’ve coordinated trips for churches, families, and individuals, always emphasizing long-term sustainability by empowering local churches and leaders.

ABOUT THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

The Dominican Republic is the second largest Caribbean nation by land and the third by population, sharing the island of Hispaniola with Haiti. Despite growth in recent years, poverty remains a significant challenge. Many Haitians have migrated to the DR seeking better opportunities but often face hardship.

Mission of Hope’s campus is located in Jarabacoa, a beautiful and strategic city in the heart of the country. From this central location, ministry efforts extend outward to maximize kingdom impact across the nation.
