Dominican Republic


The Dominican Republic is an island nation in the middle of
the Caribbean.  With a population around nine million, it’s a
country
with more affluence than its neighboring country Haiti. 
 
After the
earthquake on January 12 in Haiti, the D.R. quickly became home to
thousands of refugees searching for food, shelter, and comfort. This
month, you’ll serve at orphanages, refugee camps, and more.
 

The Dominican Republic is also home to full-time Adventures In
Missions missionaries Miguel and Kristen Shaul, who live near the border
and first responded to the Haiti earthquake when it hit. Much of the
work you will be doing will involve working with local pastors and
churches to bring hope to those affected by the recent earthquake.

Haiti 

Haiti was hit with a life-altering earthquake
on January 12, 2010. While the nation was left in shambles, the church
is rising up. Haiti is experiencing a
spiritual
revival right now like it has never before seen. Communities are turning
to pastors for
leadership,
and the local church is becoming the driving force behind Haiti’s
rebirth. This month, you’ll help with relief efforts, establish
connections with local pastors, help people rebuild their lives through
meeting felt needs, and more.  Come ready to serve; come ready to be
blessed.

Ecuador
Named after the Spanish word for equator, this country is packed full of natural beauty.  From the Amazon river to glaciers atop Andes volcanoes, this country is sure to enthrall you, and it’s people too.  As diverse as it’s landscapes, the indigenous and Incan influences give this country a unique culture.  Although the country is about 95% Catholic, there are still indigenous shamanistic practices that are integrated in their faith.  With more than half of the population sitting at or below the poverty line,  Equador is a country waiting for God’s Kingdom to come.
Peru
With a rich history dating back to time of the Incas and
an
enthralling, vibrant landscape – ever heard of the Andes
Mountains? Peru
is a land full of wonder and epic stories. It’s also a
country in need
of experiencing God’s goodness and understanding what it
means to have a
relationship with the Creator. Many natives still dabble
in traditional
religious practices and idolatry, but God is up to
something in this
country. The Peruvian church is becoming thirstier for
the truth and
authentic spiritual breakthrough. Its political past has
been riddled
with violence from the likes of the Shining Path
guerrilla and Alberto
Fujimoto’s presidency, from which both the indigenous
poor and urban
affluent alike are recovering.  Your time here may
include moments in
the jungle – perhaps a visit to the Macchu Picchu – as
well as life in
the metropolis. This is one country you won’t forget…
especially if
you drink the water.

Bolivia

Bolivia is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
It’s also one of the most indigenous countries in South America; the
current president is the first indigenous people group member in
office.
And with all of that variety comes a lot of opportunity. Bolivia is
in
need of orphan ministry, evangelistic outreach, church plants, and
more.
You might find yourself working in the heart of the rainforest or on
the streets of a city market. Regardless, be prepared for a
fantastic
experience.

Cambodia


28 years ago, Cambodia experienced one
of the
most gruesome genocides
known to man where over one third of the
country’s population was
slaughtered.
Still in recovery from their past,
the people of Cambodia
are thirsty for hope.

Indonesia

The 17,508 islands that make up the
nation of
Indonesia are as diverse
as their population. Certain areas are completely untouched by
outside
influences; others carry the exposure, even if only for a
moment, of the
Gospel story. Be prepared to explore uncharted territories and
forgotten areas to further the cause of the kingdom of God.

Thailand

With nearly two million people estimated
to be
stuck
inside of prostitution in Thailand, it has become one of the
most
popular places for sex tourism. Change lives in the city and
rock worlds
in the countryside. Thailand’s sure to capture your heart. 

Tanzania


Tanzania has a one-third split between Christianity, Islam, and
indigenous religious groups. This diversity creates a colorful
landscape of people and beliefs.  Whether you are doing open-air
crusades, door-to-door evangelism or visiting hospitals and orphanages
the people of this diverse country will capture your heart.


Kenya

Who hasn’t heard of Kenya in their lifetime? The Kenyan
people are
colorful, musical, artistic and hungry for the love of
Christ. The Masai bush, the Nairobi metropolis, the Kibera
slums…comprise a
country diverse yet unified in history. As a
new era dawns in Kenya, so does the Gospel of truth and
faith. By
meeting felt needs in the bush and the city, the World
Race produces lasting
fruit and lasting ministries to carry on even after we
leave.

Uganda

From the Ugandan islands to the base of
Mount
Kilimanjaro, the African
people of these nations share a common bond. Through
the wild lands,
home to Africa’s “Big Five” animals coexist people,
reached and
unreached with the Gospel of Christ. Through
evangelism, church
planting and discipleship, we will be a part of a
movement to further
the kingdom of God in this incredible region of the
world.
