Real Life Church 2012

We are so excited to have Real Life Church back in the Dominican. Their partnership with the nutrition center in The Hole is a vital part of the ministry there. Real Life is such an encouragement to Pastor Felix and his wife, Jenny, and it is such an honor to have these awesome servants of God here among us!


Real Life is working at the site of the old Hoya del Caimito church. This year, a new medical facility will be going on the land and there was still quite a bit of demolition left to do in preparation for the facility's foundation.

One of the best traditions that take place while Real Life is in the Dominican, is they take the kids from the nutrition center in The Hole to eat ice cream at a place called Bon. The kids have a great time playing on the playground and enjoying the fellowship with the Americans while eating delicious ice cream, a treat they don't get often, if ever.

VBS in The Hole was a sweet time of learning about Jesus, playing with kids and creating with crafts. The kids have enjoyed all this extra attention from a group who truly cares for them and their well-being.

Momentum Christian Church 2012

G.O. Ministries would like to welcome Momentum Christian Church to the Dominican! Momentum will be working alongside partner, Eduard Gabriel, and doing construction on the Central Church. We are excited that they have returned and grateful they are here to serve the people of this island!



Today, Momentum worked at the Central Church in Hoya del Caimito. The church si going to be expanded about ten feet to accommodate a bigger sanctuary above, which meant demolition of some previous planters.

Today, the team spent a significant amount of time in The Hole. They spent a lot of time speaking with pastor Felix, learning the ins and outs of his ministry there. It was a great time of encouragement, tears and speaking on redemption.

Vbs in The Hole was awesome. The group did a wonderful reenactment of the story of David and Goliath. Here, David's friends were trying to keep him from fighting Goliath. At the end, when David killed Goliath, all the kids from The Hole stood up and cheered!
