Young Adults Mission Trip

About The Trip

The River Church is partnering with Mission of Hope to send Young Adults (18-28) to serve in the Dominican Republic. Mission of Hope is a Christ-centered organization that partners with local churches and leaders to bring life transformation through sharing the Gospel, education, food security, community development, and meeting physical and spiritual needs. They currently serve the people of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. For more information about Mission of Hope, visit their website at missionofhope.com.

Those willing to serve on the trip must be flexible, patient, willing to work, and take direction. This is by no means an exhaustive list, however, it is important that participants come ready to be humble, teachable, hardworking, and willing to serve wherever needed. Mission trips often require us to step outside of our normal routines and preferences, work closely as a team, respect another culture, and trust the Lord when plans change.

Flights and lodging are included in the cost of the trip. We will have multiple meetings regarding the trip prior to departure. During these meetings we’ll discuss flights, food, lodging, any potential extra expenses, whether or not visas or vaccines, are required for travel, and an opportunity to ask any questions you still have.
