About the Mission Trip to El Batey, Dominican Republic - February 2025
This impactful mission trip created a lasting change through pouring concrete floors, planting vibrant gardens, and engaging in a sewing ministry. We partnered with the wonderful people at First Presbyterian Church in Grand Island. Through the Foundation For Peace and missionary Kristin Hamner, we were able to provide financial gifts of school supplies and other community projects. This trip was a rewarding experience filled with community, connection, and service.
A big thank you to First Presbyterian Church for making the following videos of our trip so we could share it with others.
