Dominican Republic- Students International (July 2023)
About Students International
SI does long-term, ongoing community development in Guatemala, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and two locations in the Dominican Republic. Our staff, outreach participants and the poor come together cross-culturally to encounter God, share the Good News, disciple and serve others in a specific area of occupation that relates to their career or academic interests. These occupational settings are called Ministry Sites. SI strives to assign each outreach participant to a ministry site that correlates closely with their skills and interests. Each participant will work at one ministry site for the entire outreach.
Students International Vision
Seeing team members and the poor transformed into the likeness of Christ and discover their true calling.
Students International Mission
Bringing team members and the poor together cross-culturally to encounter God, share the Good News, disciple and serve others in occupational ministries.
Outreach Objectives
The most common objectives for short-term mission outreaches are to broaden our perspective of the world and our responsibility to it, deepen our
relationship with the Lord, and share the Gospel with others in need. While these objectives are important and needed, Students International intentionally strives to accomplish three additional goals:
1. Enabling outreach participants and the poor to discover how God can use them in their occupation.
2. Providing outreach participants and the poor the opportunity to be a part of ongoing ministry and not just a short outreach where follow up is diffi- cult.
3. Helping outreach participants and the poor understand the value of building personal relationships in sharing the Gospel.
