How to Serve On Mission with LSI

Go on a family-friendly mission trip and join Dominican brothers and sisters in Christ working through their church ministries to serve the least of these beyond their villages. Community needs vary but are typically met in four key ways.

Home visits: Join a DR church leader on a visitation to pray, fellowship, share stories, and ultimately share the Gospel

Outreach ministries: Help with children and crafts, women’s outreach, and sports outreach Labor projects:painting, cleaning, or supervised constructions projects

Specialized skills: use a special skill set to meet a particular need as the Dominican pastor so deems, e.g., a doctor might help with a med clinic, a pastor or business leader might do a seminar, or certified tradesmen might provide training at a vocational school or computer class

Who Should Go?

YOU are the very person God is calling to join Him at work in the DR. Your unique gifts and talents can enhance the work that our brothers and sisters in Christ are already doing through their Dominican churches. Romans 12:6 says, “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” Some of us are good at crafts, sports, construction, or a specialized service such as a medical or vocational trade. Some have a heart for prayer or fellowship. God uses each person’s gift to expand His kingdom. LSI mission trips are meant for families, corporate business teams, church groups, and individuals of all ages with a heart to help grow God’s kingdom. Even your desire to go and serve significantly encourages the local pastors and church members who are at work in their communities. LSI mission trips are meant for families, corporate business teams, church groups, and individuals of all ages with a heart to help grow God’s kingdom. A typical serving week includes attending a local church service and community fellowship, attending morning devotions, serving alongside Dominican church members in their community, and participating in evening debriefings to share each day’s stories. There is also a day to have fun, enjoying the local culture and beauty of the island. LSI mission trips offer opportunities to work, serve, play and pray together with transformational outcomes. Start praying today about going on a LSI mission trip to join God where He is already at work.
