On April 2, 2004 we plan on sending 15 people to the Dominican Republic-
What we will be doing:
We will be working in conjunction with COCREF, CRWM, and WCI. This is an introductory mission trip. We will try and present a varied agenda in order to better understand the role of missions in Kingdom building. We will visit various bateys and barios to present the gospel and encourage the Christians in the area. We will do some concrete and block work for a school or church. We will experience worship in another country and language. We will enjoy the beauty and culture of the Dominican Republic.
