Mission Emanuel

What is Mission Emanuel?

Mission Emanuel is an ongoing Dominican Republic outreach ministry of The Gathering/USA, a non-profit organization that has brought together short-term missionaries dedicated to improving the lives of the Dominican people by providing health care, education, better living conditions and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ.

These missionaries, working for and with Dominicans, have constructed a church, two schools, two medical clinics, a dental clinic, a Water Purification System and homes in the communities of Nazaret and Cielo near Santo Domingo. Over 400 students attend the schools. Many of these students are sponsored by caring Christians who are making a difference, one student at a time.

Great! You've already made the decision to enter the mission field and now you would like some more information on what to expect, pack or have other general questions. We have prepared several helpful lists below that you will find helpful as you prepare to unite with other brothers and sisters in Christ to serve in the Dominican Republic:

Child Sponsorship Program

The Sponsorship Program is a way to build a relationship that will last through the most important years of a child's life. For $30 per month a child can receive medical attention and an education, but it means so much more. It is a chance to extend your family. Through letters and trips to the community, you can share the little joys in life and see the world through their eyes.

It is also an opportunity to be as Christ instructed, by serving the least among us. What is difficult to describe is that the joyful smiles of these children, experienced in the communion of friends, becomes tangible evidence of God's care and grace for all of us. Visit our children that are in need of sponsorship.
