You’ll leave Orlando Friday morning, July 10th and take a bus to Miami, where you’ll board a plane for the flight to Santiago, D.R.
There, you’ll be bussed to the Evangelical Institute in
downtown Santiago. This is a walled compound with a large classroom building, 5 dormitories, a cafeteria, and baseball/soccer field. You’ll be sleeping in one of the dorms for the next 5 nights and eating breakfast and dinner in the cafeteria.
During the days, you’ll be serving on one of eight teams. One team will remain at the Institute (which is a school for children as in the picture to the right). There’s a special need for someone with skills in electrical work. And obviously people who can speak Spanish would be an added blessing as the children who attend the institute want to learn English.
We also need people to build walls in the dorms, paint buildings and do a Vacation Bible School for the kids from the neighborhood surrounding the Institute.
The seven other teams will go to different Free Methodist Churches within about 20-minutes of the Institute.
At each of the churches, time will be split between painting, doing construction work, building a playground, and cleaning the landscape, as well as leading Vacation Bible Schools for the kids in the neighborhoods, and being a part of special evangelistic services at night. There’s a LOT to do at each of these, and the people there are really hoping you’ll come!
On Wednesday, July 15th, you’ll return to Orlando where you’ll join thousands of Free Methodists for an evening of worship & celebration as a part of General Conference 15 at the Caribe Royale. The next, and final, day of your mission trip will be for debriefing, sharing your experiences, and brainstorming how to take a heart for the lost back to your home church and community.
$1,399 per person includes transportation and meals during the mission trip experience. Transportation to/from Orlando is not included.
