So why Dominican Republic?

”...and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8

Have you ever wondered, “What are the ends of the earth?”

Graystone Church is partnering with Orphanage Outreach and planning a trip to Dominican Republic June 18-25, 2011. You can find out more about Orphanage Outreach on their website.

We’ll be going to the city of Monte Cristi – a sleepy community of about 20,000 residents located in the northwest corner of the country. In Monte Cristi, we’ll work with the Dominican people to make a difference in their community and therefore change their country and make a difference in the Kingdom.
