And you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. — Acts 1:8
From time to time, individuals and teams from SPC go out into the world to express their faith in Jesus through gospel service and disciple making witness. We also hear, occasionally, from our partners around the world. Read about their work and witness here, and pray for them and the people they serve and are witnesses to.

Elijah Taylor: These past two weeks I’ve been working at the Facilities and Maintenance Site along with Mike White, a youth pastor named Gavin Pantella from the Florida team, and Luke Yoder, who is a full time missionary here in the DR with his family of seven. Our job is to support all of the outreach sites by fixing, building, and running errands for things to make their lives easier.

Zach Schantz: Something I have learned from my time serving in the Dominican Republic and getting to know those who serve here full time is that long term ministry is hard. In their jobs there's no such thing as the instant gratification that is such a part of living in the states.

Madeline James: It has been such a joy to be back at the preschool site for my second year. Being here again has reminded me how much I love the people and how much I missed my friends and all the kiddos. A typical day starts with about 30 minutes of playtime before we head outside to sing the national anthem.

Kate Wilson: Today was day three at the women's social work site. These past couple days have been so special. Going into this project I was pretty hesitant about this site, especially the part about having to have conversations with women and being around them all day. Little did I know I would have almost ten 8-14 year old girls as well as older women.

Zac Collins: As I was doing some morning reading this little guy scurried across the floor and I had to get in for a closer look. The two most popular lizards here in the Dominican Republic are the Anoles and the Gecko. This young Tropical House Gecko was a little over an inch long and can have a lifespan of about 15 years.
