The beaches, deserts, and rain forests of the Dominican Republic may be alluring, but they hardly rival the passion and energy of the country’s people. Rooted deeply in Latin American culture, their love for family, and vibrancy for life, makes the Dominican Republic a fun place to serve. It is no longer considered a third world country, but the poverty within this nation provides excellent opportunities to work alongside seasoned missionaries in community development in the name of Jesus Christ. Pastoral support and outreach ministries are critical here. Nothing is better than spreading the Gospel, but doing it in the Dominican Republic is a unique experience you need to see for yourself.
