Four of our students from Alex’s House—Wilkens, Louis Pierre, Mickey, and Renel—are building an outreach ministry to serve children in local communities. Each month, they gather with children to pray, sing, share Bible stories, and simply spend time together. They regularly serve in Haut-du-Cap and Plaine du Nord, bringing attention, care, and hope to children who need to know they are seen and loved.
For their May outreach, they celebrated Haitian Flag Day with the children in the community. Wilkens opened the event with songs and prayer, followed by Mickey, who explained what the Haitian flag represents and why May 18 is an important day in Haitian history. The children had many questions and were excited to receive small Haitian flags from Renel, while Louis Pierre captured the special day through photographs.
Through this simple gathering, these four young men reminded the children that God loves them and that they are part of a rich history they can be proud of. What began as a monthly outreach is becoming a meaningful way for these young men to share the love of Christ and invest in the next generation.

Wow! What a week! We had 25 team members arrive in Cabarete, Dominican Republic on January 17th to serve local Haitian and Dominican communities for the week. Many have served with Disciples Village before, and for a few, this was their first mission trip. But they all agreed, it wouldn’t be their last!!
Our construction team served in Oma Bajita, where Pastor Lucianne leads the Villa Redencion Church. Our entire team enjoyed worshipping with his congregation on Sunday and the construction team served in the community Monday – Thursday, replacing the roof on a house that is home to three different families. Several of the local men joined in to help with the project, allowing the team to share both construction skills and the love of Jesus.
The evangelism team served in Oma Bajita, as well, on Monday, Calleion de la Loma on Tuesday, Lacienaga on Wednesday, and shared the Good News with vendors up and down the beach on Thursday. We saw the fruits of our labor with ten professions of faith and many seeds were planted along the way that we pray will take root. We also had many opportunities to pray with Believers and encourage them in their walk with the Lord.

During our mission trip to the Dominican Republic last week, I had the privilege of teaching 27 local pastors in the first of a six-part pastoral training series.
Each evening, these pastors faithfully gathered to study The Message and the Messenger. Even on nights when the electricity went out, they continued learning by the light of their cell phones—a powerful testimony to their hunger for God’s Word and their commitment to faithfully serving their churches.
At the conclusion of the week, each pastor received a Thompson Chain-Reference Bible and a Certificate of Completion. These resources provide not only recognition for their hard work but also practical tools for biblical study, theology, and sermon preparation. Through this ongoing training, we are equipping Haitian and Dominican pastors to faithfully proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and shepherd their congregations with confidence and biblical truth.
A special thank you to Jefferson, our interpreter, whose outstanding work throughout the week made this training possible. His faithful service and clear communication were an incredible blessing to both the pastors and our teaching team.
