In the Dominican Republic, Engage partners with El Círculo Church to serve in the heart of Santo Domingo—the first city founded in the Americas and a vibrant blend of cultures, languages, and stories. Your group will dive into meaningful Kingdom Work through outreach that bring lasting impact to the community, from tangible service initiatives to encouraging the local church. You may also get the chance to head into the mountains, teaching Bible lessons in an elementary school and supporting the work of a rural village church. Every step of the way, your students will be challenged to see how God is already at work and how they can join Him in it.

What makes this trip unique is the opportunity to build relationships with members of El Círculo Church, serving side by side in outreach and experiencing the Gospel lived out in their context. Along the way, your students will learn to navigate cultural differences, practice humility, and discover the joy of serving together across language and cultural barriers. More than just a week in another country, this trip is a chance to experience God’s heart and love in a fresh way and return home with a renewed vision for Kingdom Work in your own community.
