Dominican Republic Missions Opportunity

We have a missions opportunity for those interested in helping to launch a new youth summer camp in the Bani region of the Dominican Republic. This can also be a great opportunity for a U.S. sending church to develop a new partnership with a local host church in the DR. Contact us for more info if you are interested in helping to pioneer a new ministry venture that will serve for years to come in raising up a new generation of young Dominican leaders and shapers.

Empower Dominican Orphans with the Ultimate Adventure

*This initiative has been postponed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Empowering Orphans

In 2020, we have the opportunity to take our KidVenturez (KV) program to a level we never imagined. Through one of our international partnerships in the Dominican Republic, we are working on a project to give orphans in the DR the ultimate KV experience. For several years, we have sent teams to serve these children by providing VBS and sports programs at the orphanage in Barahona. A few years ago we built a basketball court for the orphanage. Now some of those orphans will have the opportunity to realize something they have only dreamed about—coming to America.

In the summer of 2020, we envision bringing a group of these orphans to the U.S. for the ultimate KV experience. The kids will attend our summer camp near Greenville, attend a MLB Double-A baseball game, visit Dollywood, and see the stunning Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee.

Want to help sponsor one of the orphans? The full scholarship for one child to attend this trip is $925 (includes airfare, lodging, meals, camp scholarship, baseball game, and Dollywood ticket). Other partial gifts that can help collectively reach the scholarship goals are:

$225 gives an orphan a full week of summer camp
$75 gives an orphan a full day at Dollywood
$45 gives an orphan a full day at summer camp
$25 gives an orphan the Tennessee Smokies baseball experience (ticket, food, souvenir)

How will your gift empower kids when they return from the U.S.? In the same way that KV has a cycle of redemption domestically, that cycle can be realized internationally as well. Just ask Edwin (pictured below). At 9-years old, Edwin was a homeless Haitian refugee in Barahona when the orphanage took him in. Today he is in his early twenties, serving on staff at the orphanage, and attending the local university. Because others gave him experiences of redemption, he is now giving back to others as a mentor and youth worker. As orphans return to the DR from their TN KidVenturez experience and a dream realized, they will want to give back to others as they continue to grow up as well, because of the tangible ways they have been blessed.

Together, we have the awesome privilege of shaping redemption cycles through KidVenturez and many other Breakaway initiatives. Thank you for making a difference for young people facing hardship!

#GivingTuesday: Save The Date

#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

When you give to this ministry on #GivingTuesday, you are ensuring that kids in crisis don’t have to face hardship alone—especially during the holiday season!

For those who may not be familiar with Breakaway Outreach, our mission is to empower the lives of youth, children, and under-served communities with gospel transformation and social resilience. During he holiday season, our missions network provides strategic Christmas outreach to children of inmates, incarcerated youth, orphans and refugees, and kids affected by domestic violence.

Thank you for helping kids ‘breakaway’ on #GivingTuesday!
