Church planting teams spend time in a community supporting local leaders as they make disciples, help their church live on mission and develop new leaders.
Church Planting teams support the work of the local pastor and leaders through children’s and student ministries (VBS, Crafts, Lessons, Games & Activities), discipleship groups, minor construction projects (painting houses, pouring concrete), kids’ clubs, field days, and worship events.
These initiatives and other projects provide creative avenues for local leaders to clearly communicate The Gospel in their specific context, build relationships between teams and local leaders, and support the work of the local church in their community.
Medical teams help provide physical and spiritual care to some of the most underserved communities in the Dominican Republic.
Medical teams spend three days helping lead mobile medical clinics alongside our local medical staff. We intentionally serve in GO Church Planting communities, so that it can be an effective outreach tool for local pastors. Mobile clinics consist of four stations: Triage, provider assessment, pharmacy, and prayer. Team members work in all four areas.
Other days are spent exploring other Focused Areas of Ministry, doing service projects and children’s ministry, and serving alongside our Dominican and Haitian local leaders.
Sports teams do not need to be made up of athletes or coaches. Anyone is welcome to join a sports ministry trip.
Sports teams spend the week with local leaders at the Leadership Development Complex or in communities around Santiago. Teams can concentrate their time in a specific area of GO Sports, including baseball, basketball, soccer or volleyball, or in English classes or coach/staff development.
They can also spend the week learning about the broad scope of GO Sports or serving the community of Tamboril, where the LDC is located. Some teams choose to lead outreach events such as basketball or soccer camps. Sports trips are completely customizable.
Catch the vision with an exploratory trip.
Exploratory trips are three-day or four-day visits for individuals, churches, or organizational leaders. These trips allow you to meet local leaders and explore the many areas of ministry within GO. You’ll get a front row seat to see how God is redeeming people, renewing communities and restoring creation across the island.

“The opportunity to take church members and college students on mission trips with GO over the past 21 years has been a wonderful part of my ministry. Besides the assurance that teams will be fully prepared for the trip and cared for during their time away, I also know they will experience what it means to be engaged in God’s redemptive mission to make disciples of Jesus while serving alongside local leaders in various ministry contexts. GO Ministries understands that mission is more than just doing acts of kindness for people in another country. Instead, their approach gives teams the opportunities to form mission partnerships with local leaders in a process of mutual transformation.”
