Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Santo Domingo is the capital of the Dominican Republic and one of the Caribbean's oldest cities. Its walled, cobblestoned historic core, the Zona Colonial (the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the Americas), has buildings that date to the 1500s, including the cathedral, which was the first built in the New World. Santo Domingo is also the most modern and dynamic metropolis in the Caribbean. La Capital—as it is affectionately called—epitomizes the pulse of Dominican culture, where the old and the new converge seamlessly…from centuries old architecture and history, to large shopping malls and art galleries.
Meet Our Missionaries
Gordy and Bear G. have been missionaries for close to forty years. For over half of that time they took high school students overseas to serve with ReachGlobal missionaries and national partners around the world on summer-long short-term missions. They have served in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Central Europe. Most recently they served in Central Africa mentoring and coaching young leaders of grass-roots Christian organizations. The Santo Domingo City Team has the same goal of discipleship and leadership development among university students across all of RG's partner churches in the city.
How You'll Serve
The Santo Domingo City team is focused on discipleship with an eye to helping Christian university students reach their peers with the Gospel and integrating them in house churches that are being planted throughout the city.
Young people from the US will serve side by side with young people from the Dominican Republic, encouraging them as followers of Jesus, or in outreach among high school students or ministry with kids through the partner churches. Teaching conversational English will be a great way to interact with Dominican students who study English, and must pass English exams to enter the university.
Some of the ministries you may be partnering in include:
- ESL – English as Second Language training. This would mainly be conversational English.
- VBS/Bible Clubs
- Individual or small group Bible studies
- Camp Ministry
