Dominican Republic - Family Trip 2020 - Supporting Haitian Refugees CLOSED
Isaiah 8:6 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
...And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
CHCC teams will travel to the Dominican Republic and partner with Mission of Hope Haiti to serve Haitian refugees who have fled political and civil unrest in Haiti We're seeking to meet the spiritual, physical, and economic needs of the village of Esperanza; two primary strategies have been developed to serve Jesus in pursuing life transformation for every man, woman, and child in the village. Strategic Village Time and Church Advancement Projects.
STRATEGIC VILLAGE TIME (SVT)
We envision hosting an Alpha training program. Teams hang out with villagers at their homes engaging residents in normal and fun conversations, assessing the living conditions, collecting important demographic information, sharing the gospel, and obtaining GPS coordinates of the home. SVT allows us to build & maintain meaningful relationships with the Haitian people and equip the local church to meet the needs of their village.
CHURCH ADVANCEMENT PROJECTS (CA PROJECTS)
CA Projects are specific projects contributing to the physical needs of the village. As a team, we may choose a project as an entry point to visit different houses in the village; teams gather important data about the physical and spiritual needs of the people. The information collected will allow us to measure our effectiveness in saturating the villages with the gospel, then leveraging the info for meeting the needs of the people to bring life transformation. These projects represent the highest priorities for meeting the physical needs of the village. Furthermore, they are a part of a continuum of transformation plan that has been developed with the local church pastors.
