MISSION TRIPS TO THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

If your church group, youth group, school group, medical group, or family wants to make a difference, group mission trips to the Dominican Republic provide the perfect opportunity. With several connections to churches, ministries, and communities throughout the DR, your team can make a significant impact with Bold Hope.

THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC SHORT-TERM MISSION TRIPS

When you partner with Bold Hope for a mission trip to the DR, your team will serve Haitian workers and their families who live in bateyes (bah-TAYs), small settlements in the centers of sugarcane plantations. These little villages lack basic resources such as stable housing, medical care, education, and water. While you are in the Dominican Republic, you will get to experience the beautiful landscape of a Caribbean Island and build meaningful connections with these incredible people. They are creatives, dreamers, and joyful hope givers, bearing many talents and gifts to give the world around them. Your life will forever be changed by hearing their stories and walking alongside them, even if, just for a brief time. 

Your team will work alongside our missionary partners who know where help is truly needed. From reinforcing structures to offering children/youth programs and events, you’ll not only have the opportunity to interact with locals, but you’ll provide encouragement to those who serve there year-round.

In addition to these projects, Bold Hope also books Dominican Republic medical mission trips for medical professionals looking to use their gifts and talents to serve internationally. There is great need for basic medical care and wellness visits as healthcare is often inaccessible for the communities we serve.

Bold Hope helps you and your team support impoverished communities in the DR. Spend time engaging and building relationships with our team members and the local community. Bring love and laughter to children by making crafts and give comfort to those who have lost their way spiritually. Whatever work your group does, your seven-day trip will add to the work our partners do all year to empower and transform lives.

To learn more about how you could contribute to bateyes in the DR, read about our Bold Hope missionaries and partnerships below.

Our Partners:

Batey 106

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Our work here happens alongside Fundación Nueva Alegria. We partner with them by sharing their vision and dreams for the youth in Batey 106, and by lending a hand with their youth ministry program.

Iglesia Bautista Luz Divina - Pastor Mede

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Our partner Pastor Mede has a deep knowledge of many bateyes and of the Haitian community in the city of La Romana. We are connected with his church and are working to develop new initiatives in the most vulnerable areas.

Iglesia Bautista La Romana - Pastor Ramon

La Romana, Dominican Republic

Like Pastor Mede, Pastor Ramon is another “man of peace” (Luke 10:6) we find in La Romana. Esteemed in the local community, he works in five different social projects; not just preaching the gospel but living it in a fulfilling way. It's been an honor to serve his church and to see all that God is doing through them. 

the Dominican Republic Hope Initiatives

Our missionary and local pastoral partners have undertaken projects and programs with the aim of inspiring HOPE in the people they serve, many of whom are overlooked by the country they call home. Bold Hope seeks to come alongside the good work these faithful men and women are doing long-term, supporting their vision by providing financial assistance and short-term mission teams.

Educational Programs
Bold Hope Educational Programs
Education

Educational Programs

Children are released from school around noon, however many have to stay an additional three or more hours until their parents return from work. Our partners are passionate about using that time to provide art, problem solving and development-focused activities in order for the children to continue learning and growing.

Medical Care

Medical Care

Haitians without documentation (most living in bateyes) do not have access to public or private health. Our partners look forward to working closely with medical teams and local hospitals to provide medical care to these communities.

Community Outreach

Our missionaries work alongside local ministries, churches, and leaders to share the love of Jesus which impacts and transforms all aspects of life. Through sports, events, and programs, community needs are and the gospel goes forth.

Community Development

Community Development

The long-term goal of our missionaries is to see these communities thriving. This process begins with child sponsorship as a means for impacting the whole family, and works towards transformation in individuals as well as the bateyes as a whole. Empowering the next generation of leaders through skills training, feeding programs, English language learning, etc. is the next step in developing a flourishing community.

Children's Ministry

Children

Children's Ministry

Children are a large part of ministry in the DR. Children- and youth-focused programs and events are especially important during the summer when children do not go to school and are left with nothing to do. Sports, Vacation Bible Schools, art classes and other events keep kids learning and growing outside of the educational setting.

Church

Church Partnerships

Many church leaders in the area our partners serve have not had formal theological training. There is an opportunity to come alongside the pastors and leaders of local churches through leadership training, theological teaching, and pastoral support.

Dominican Republic Mission Trips

Why should you plan a mission trip with Bold Hope?

Bold Hope works a little differently from other organizations. When you partner with Bold Hope to schedule a mission trip to the Dominican Republic or another country, we provide you with accommodations in a hotel, hostel or guest house to make sure you have the rest you need to serve those around you.

In addition to your lodging, we ensure you're comfortable in this new country by providing a Bold Hope team member for guidance and a translator when needed. You'll also receive three meals a day and in-country transportation. We offer this foundation to make sure you can focus your energy on service opportunities for the community.

Contact Bold Hope for more information about mission trips

Whether it's your family, a church group or a youth group who wants to do a mission trip, trust Bold Hope to provide secure accommodations and group work that makes a genuine difference in communities around the Dominican Republic.
