Dominican Republic Trips

The relationship between Newlonsburg Presbyterian Church and the church of Brisas del Este in the Dominican Republic grows stronger every year. The bond that has been built can be seen in the people of the DR and our teams working so comfortably together as well as the tears that are shed when our team leaves. It takes a long time to see if any progress is actually being made when starting a new mission project. This community had only been worshipping for about a year when Newlonsburg became involved. Men didn’t attend the church services, and there were only about five women attending with their children. Now, there are men in church and more women attending.
