Top 10 reasons to go on a Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic

  1. God is asking me. Are you sure that you are listening?
  2. I can afford it. If not, trust that God will provide.
  3. There are not many bugs. This is true! More bugs will bother you in your own backyard on a typical evening than a week in the Dominican Republic.
  4. I have plenty of vacation time. One week is all you need. Have any of your past vacations filled you with the joy and peace that can only come from time spent doing God’s work totally away from life’s distractions?
  5. I have a caring heart. There are a variety of talents and abilities each of us has that God will use.
  6. The food is great! All right, most of the food is great. Some is average.
  7. It is not cold in the Dominican Republic. It is just right. All right, it can get a little hot.
  8. I love to fly. If you do not like to fly, I will hold your hand.
  9. It just sounds great. I was scared of many parts of the trip. Was I capable? Was I qualified? Surely not. Relax, God is in charge.
  10. God is asking you. What are you waiting for? Will you go?

Sponsoring a child through ASON International
“Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me”  (Luke 9:48).

The love and joy a sponsored child feels is immeasurable. The hope offered is far-reaching. Just $25 a month, less than $1 a day, pays for a child’s education, a special Christmas party, Birthday party and Summer Camp. Pictures of children who are patiently waiting for a sponsor may be accessed at www.ASON.org. You may not be able to help everyone, but the ones that you do, it will make a huge difference in their lives - we’ve seen it firsthand! Contact John or Linda at 763-420-8882.

Helping people become self-sufficient
Emerging mission area in the Dominican Republic provides small loans for people who live in chronic poverty to start small businesses that will provide jobs and strengthen communities. Visit www.opportunity.org.
