Dominican Republic Mission Trip

When: December 11-18, 2021
Where: Barahona
Cost: $475 plus airfare

Mission description: Our team will be facilitating English camp, baseball ministry, Christmas programs for orphans, and outreach to Haitian migrant/refugee children.

Contact us for info about how to sign-up for this trip and where to attend upcoming team meetings. This is a great missions opportunity for youth and young adults.

Our team will have the incredible opportunity to serve in the Dominican Republic, partnering with local churches and ministries to bring the hope of Christ to children and families. Throughout the week we will lead youth camps, sports clinics, and Bible discussions, creating safe spaces where kids can experience joy, community, and the love of Jesus. Many of the children will be participating in these kinds of activities for the very first time, and we anticipate seeing smiles and laughter that reflect the power of simple acts of kindness and presence.

Beyond the programs, the mission trip will be about relationships. Our team will spend time in villages, sharing meals, listening to stories, and encouraging parents and community leaders who are faithfully ministering in challenging circumstances. We expect to witness resilience, deep faith, and a hunger for God’s Word. This experience will not only impact the lives of those we serve but will also transform our own hearts, reminding us that the gospel crosses every culture and language, and that God’s kingdom is alive and growing in the Dominican Republic.

Testimonies

“A wonderful ministry that serves children here and abroad. I first met the founder, Jimmy Larche, when he came to visit my church during mission conference. Since then I have served at Breakaway’s summer camp for trauma-impacted kids, as well as the sports in ministry in Dominican Republic. Jimmy has a powerful testimony that drives him to reach out with the love of God to kids who are struggling like he once was.”

“I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Breakaway Outreach. My father was incarcerated and I was sent into foster care. I started camp as a tiny little camper and now I get to serve as camp nurse! I graduated from Lee University with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I am currently working as a Nursery and Postpartum Nurse. Breakaway Outreach is exactly what it sounds like. It’s an outreach of family and community that all come together because we truly care about God’s children.”

“This camp has been wonderful. You have helped me to find Jesus, the Lord. I have let Jesus into my heart. You have so many amazing people here and you have given me so much hope. God has given us all a chance to know and love each other. Thank you so much and I hope that I can keep coming back to camp.”

Maya

“Before the first year at camp, it was the lowest part of my life. I had lost my mother and sister in a tragic car wreck. I was being bullied at school and was planning to commit suicide when I received an invitation with a scholarship to attend Breakaway camp. I decided to put off the suicide plan and attend camp. It was the best decision I ever made. I gave my life to Jesus at camp and then Breakaway helped me get involved with a local church. My life still has ups and downs but I know now that God has me no matter what.”
