RMS will be traveling to the Ministry Center in Sabana Grande de Boya. Dr. Neal Hegeman, began a Ministry Center, planted churches, as well as the Christian School here. RMS has been traveling to Dominican Republic for a number of years and have helped the local people build churches and parsonages as well as maintain the Ministry Center.
Work Projects
This year has multiple projects tentatively scheduled for the volunteers to do. The first project is to assist the local people in constructing a church building in the coastal town of Nagua. The second project is to finish the addition started for a church in the village of Santa Rosa. Finally, we hope to begin remodeling the ministry center to make accommodations for an office that will be used by the local pastors. It will house a library, copy center, and fellowship room to hold meetings as well as a place used for training of office-bearers.

accommodations
We will be staying in the Ministry Center, Sabana
Grande de Boya, Dominican Republic. The Ministry Center
has rustic sleeping arrangements where we will be sleeping on bunk beds with mosquito netting
surrounding us. There is no "hot" water for showering; however, you may find that an air temperature
shower after a hot day will be refreshing. If asked, the family will do laundry for you, so consider that
when you are packing your bags. There are also stores around to purchase items that you may have
forgotten
