Short-Term Mission Trips

Short-term mission trips provide an immersive opportunity for church leaders and their members to serve in communities around the world. These trips are designed to combine hands-on ministry work with cultural exchange, allowing participants to experience firsthand the needs of others and learn how to address them effectively. Participants engage in activities such as teaching, building projects, and community outreach, creating a direct and meaningful impact while gaining valuable experience and insight. 

These trips help churches deepen their understanding of global ministry while strengthening their own teams through shared purpose and collaboration. If you’re interested in planning a mission trip for your church, contact me to discuss how we can create a transformative experience for your group.

Project Ruth - Dominican Republic

In March 2015, Jonathan and Shena invited a group from Glad Tidings Tabernacle Key West, Florida, to join them on a mission trip to La Florida, Dominican Republic. Those fortunate enough to accompany them saw the area firsthand, and Project Ruth was birthed. The property was donated by a resident, Ramon A. Ramirez, a property that had been in his family for many generations. Construction began in May 2015 on a church/community center and medical clinic, the initial construction was completed in August 2015. The ministry continues to add value to the community through a holistic approach in Jesus' Name.
