DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

About Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic has a strong Christian presence, but many communities continue to experience poverty, inequality, and limited opportunities. Churches and ministries throughout the country are seeking to demonstrate the gospel through both spiritual discipleship and practical service. Sports, especially baseball, provide unique opportunities to build relationships with children, families, and communities. Through ministry partnerships, God is opening doors to share His love with people throughout the Dominican Republic.

The country population is around 11,400,000 people, and the primary language spoken is Spanish. The primary religion is Christianity with about 93% of the population reported as professing Christians, and of the 10 people groups there is 1 that is unreached.

Trip Information

Join us in the Dominican Republic as we partner with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) to share the love of Jesus through relationships, sports, and community investment.

Depending on the makeup of the team, we may use baseball as a ministry tool to connect with local athletes and families. This is a unique opportunity for high school students who love baseball and want to use their passion to serve God’s mission.

Our team will also help develop a community center connected to FCA’s baseball field, investing in the neighborhood and strengthening relationships with families who live there. Through practical service and intentional relationships, we hope to demonstrate the love of Jesus.
