Jovonne & Jackie
Traveling on a mission trip is truly a calling so I was extremely proud when I found out two of my friends had been called to travel to the Dominican Republic in March.
On March 13, 2011, Jackie Dillon and Jovonne Williams will travel with the National Community Church to rehabilitate and improve Las Palmas church and community center in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The center is very active in the community providing feeding programs, vocational skill courses, and community youth programs.
Funds are needed to build walls and support the purchase of other building related materials. These ladies and the National Community Church need our help to raise $35,000 to fund this trip. To show your support, Jackie and Jovonne are seeking your donation through the purchase of blocks.
Each block is $10 and includes all necessary materials for construction. Suggested donation amounts are $10 (1 block), $50 (5 blocks) or $100 (10 blocks), however donations of any amount will be accepted; every dollar amount will make a huge impact!! Any additional funds raised will go to vocational scholarships for local residents.
As I have stressed so often, we should all give back to our community whether that community is near or far. If you’re interested in learning more about this Dominican Republic mission trip and would like to show your support, please visit www.DCtoDR.com.
