Dominican Republic Outreach

July 26-31, 2014

Jesus said, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Mark 16:15

Recently, our Dominican Republic Outreach Programs exploded with the power of God. This team went into prisons, sugarcane camps, held a huge youth rally, and so much more. They went out into the world to preach the Gospel…

Carlos, along with David George and his team, worked hard to prepare 1,000 school backpacks and 250 food packs for the poor children there.

 Team members spent time making sure each bag had the same supplies.

The team went to several churches to share food, school supplies and the Gospel.

There were lots of “happy children” attending the outreach programs.

We are amazed at what the Lord is doing in the Dominican Republic through Love A Child. Thank you Carlos, for working so hard in your home country. We also thank David George and his team for bringing the love of Christ to the poor living in the Dominican Republic. A special thank you goes to Feed My Starving Children for donating the rice packs, and we thank our partners for paying the transportation costs to get the food to the mission field. We also shared shoes that were donated from World Vision. Thank you all for sharing some of the basic needs with the poor living in the Dominican Republic.

May God bless you.
