These middle school, high school and college age youth were part of a 44-person team that traveled to the Dominican Republic in July. The group spent a portion of their summer traveling to eight different villages and one orphanage. Some of the youth were members of a medical team that saw over 80 people each day, others were part of the village team that provided vacation Bible school type activities for the children and some were In each group, the gospel was shared and many people gave their lives to Christ. Connie Carmony, one of the adult leaders on the trip, said "The kids involved in the mission trip worked just as hard if not harder than the adults. All of them would tell you this was a life changing experience."
