Sociedad Lucas, DR.

“Sociedad Lucas in the Dominican Republic is a mission that I have known about for years. I first came here as a high school student and then years later as a teacher with my students. This summer I had the amazing opportunity to come on my own to teach English. It is evident that Dr. Silvia, her family, and everyone else who works with Sociedad Lucas are completely invested in the ministry and what God is doing in their community. Coming here for the summer allowed me to see God in a different way. He changed so much of my perspective and my understanding of what it looks like to serve in ministry and to love others well. They truly shine God’s love to the community around them. Sociedad Lucas is a testimony to what happens when people say yes in obedience to God and allow him to do the rest.”

“Our mission trips to the DR have been a family affair for 20 years now. Nothing has taught my children more about service and sacrifice than ministering alongside the Martinez family. Our view of God is so much bigger having seen Him working in another country.”

“In places where I expected to show others God’s love, I instead found myself surrounded by the energizing faith of children, which encouraged me to look inward at how I treated my own relationship with God. God shattered my expectations and grew my faith. The community’s youth group & kids at the school became my dear friends and a source of joy, making leaving so hard. I can’t wait to go back!”

“My favorite part of our mission trips to Sociedad Lucas and the D.R. has been making new friends, and experiencing just a little more of how God must see His incredible world. Working side by side, playing with the kids, teaching English, worshiping together…I love getting to know another culture and building relationships with Dr. Silvia, her family & the school staff.”

“have been to El cacique 6 times on serve trips with Keystone Community Church. While working to build classrooms I am always happy to interact with the children attending the school. I enjoy returning each year to visit with the students and see both their physical and educational growth. Participating on these serve trips has been one of the many joys in my life.”
