Come join QHM on an evangelistic mission trip to Vallejuelo, Dominican Republic.  QHM is excited to partner with the South Dominican Conference in evangelistic opportunities around Vallejuelo. The mission team will present our My Friend Jesus evangelistic series and the Friendship Hour for our children’s ministries programs at 5 different locations. We will also conduct health screenings and assist in the construction of a brand new church during the week. 

Trip Overview

Your mission with Quiet Hour Ministries in Dominican Republic will be to share how the love and grace of Jesus has the power to change lives. You will be completely immersed in a new culture, serving alongside local church members to bring hope to the precious people in their communities.

Each day will bring you into contact with different people, each one a child of God. However, many of them don’t share our hope in Jesus’ soon return. Your team will get the opportunity to serve them by participating in the activities outlined below.

The team typically splits in two for the morning activities. Half the team will help with the facilitation of a free basic health screening, which includes eye testing and the provision of reading glasses where needed, while the rest of the team will work with some of the Los Fundos church members on a new church under construction in Vallejuelo.

The evening meetings will take place at churches around town where team members will take on different roles including preaching our My Friend Jesus sermon series, sharing some basic health principles, or helping to facilitate a children’s program. All materials are provided in advance for you to become familiar with, so don’t worry if you’ve never done any of this before!

You will return home with the joy of creating new friendships and building partnerships. You will be a witness to the power of the Holy Spirit working in the lives of the people in Dominican Republic. We can’t wait to serve the people of Vallejuelo with you!

COVID-19 Information and Statement:

Quiet Hour Ministries respects the rights of individuals' freedom of choice when deciding whether or not to be vaccinated. At the same time, we affirm the Seventh-day Adventist Church recommendation of the responsible use of vaccines as an important public health measure, especially during a pandemic.

Accordingly, to support the Seventh-day Adventist Church health message and to utilize the best possible protections to our team members and international partners, QHM is choosing to offer mission trip opportunities only to individuals who are fully vaccinated* against COVID-19. Additional immunizations may also be required depending on country-specific regulations and current travel restrictions.

You will need to provide QHM with evidence of being fully vaccinated* no later than two weeks prior to departure.
