February 16-23, 2023
You are invited to join an 8-day mission trip to Los Alcarrizos and Villa Altagracia in the Dominican Republic.
We will be doing construction work on the trip, lots of concrete & block work, hopefully continuing work on the 6 room medical clinic P52 is funding, along with any other work needing to be done, based on the ability of the team. In the past we have built homes & churches, a water purification plant, vocational schools, done painting and had crafts with kids. This IS NOT a “witnessing-type” mission trip, our “witnessing” is sharing God’s love through our work and relationships with the DR people.
Trip Cost: $1750.00 PER ADULT – includes RT air, taxes & fees, transportation, lodging, meals, fun day excursion & trip insurance once trip starts. Not included: checked baggage fees individually payable in Des Moines & Santo Domingo, food at the airport, optional Lighthouse staff gratuity, personal souvenirs or recommended trip insurance for cancellation prior to the trip.
