The Point Church Missions team is about making a difference and we are looking for YOU. Our next mission trip to the Dominican Republic will be in 2025. If you are interested in joining contact our team leader, Simon Hallihan.
If you don't want to travel, you can become an important part of the team while staying here in your hometown and helping with fundraising, spreading the word, and praying for the team.
S.H.M. is a charitable organization dedicated to transforming generations by transforming individuals and communities.
They are a Canadian charity registered with Canada Revenue Agency and are based in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The base for their work in the field is in Sosua, Dominican Republic.
We are determining the exact date by September 2024. Most likely sometime in February 2025.
Sosua, Dominican Republic. We will fly into Puerto Plata and travel from the airport to the resort by bus as a team. Our accommodations will be at Sosua by the Sea, 10 to 15 minutes from the job site. We will leave the resort each day by approximately 9:00 am to go to the job site, return to the resort for lunch from 12:00 - 1:00 pm, then back to the job site until 5:00 pm.
Our goal is to build a home, attend a pregnancy clinic, and do some outreach to the children of the community. Depending on the interest, we also have the opportunity to do health checks in schools. No matter what skills you have or may not have yet realized, there is a job for everyone. Experience is an asset but not necessary. There will be staff on the ground to direct us.
The cost for the 2025 Mission Trip is $2,150.
The primary language in the Dominican Republic is Spanish. We will have interpreters at each site we visit. It is recommended to download Duolingo app and start learning some key words and phrases.
Fill out an application as it will give us some history and an idea of your skills. You will need a desire to help others as God has commanded us to do and a commitment to help fundraise. Without funds, we won't have any materials to work with. You will also need a valid, up-to-date passport and should also consider vaccinations. Contact us if you require additional information.
You can be a contact person for various tasks, including fundraising. Spread the word, and please be in prayer for the team!
I am ready to lean in and have a conversation about joining the 2025 Missions Trip Team.
