Despite travel delays and airport chaos, the mission team ended their DR trip with joy, gratitude, and a dance party, carrying home lasting perspective

On their final day, the mission team finished projects, shared heartfelt goodbyes, reflected in prayer, and celebrated community, and a birthday!

On their final workday in the Dominican Republic, the mission team completed painting, crafts, tree trimming, and more, leaving lasting impact and joyful memories.

From tree trimming, bookshelf building, and machete-powered teamwork, our mission team tackled it all.

Amid bus breakdowns, fire ants, and joyful chaos at VBS, our team found unexpected moments of connection, growth, and God’s presence in every twist.

The Saint Peter’s mission team joined Sunday worship at Iglesia de Cristo Rey in Puerto Plata, sharing prayer, hospitality, and cultural exchange in faith.

What a morning. If you’ve been following the blog so far you know that the group has spent three long days both giving and receiving.

After 3 full days of painting, building shelves, clearing brush, trimming trees and helping with VBS we enjoyed a day of rest.

Today was day three of VBS, with children from the school community and the small village of Mozovi. 

Started the day with the St Peter’s pruning team, led by commander William Montgomery, aka Guillermo.

Today’s update comes from Rusty Hazzard, who shares how the team rolled up their sleeves for the first full day of building and maintenance work. From painting classrooms and trimming trees to building bookshelves from scratch, each project is laying the groundwork for connection and learning

It was an early start for the Saint Peter’s mission group this morning.

Missioners ride the school bus to the mission site each morning. This is the bus the children ride to school each day too!
