Dominican Republic

 Hope House International

Date: June 2024

Hope House International was founded by Michael & Amanda Braisted.  They are American missionaries who have been living and serving in the Dominican Republic for 17 years.  
The Braisteds created a long-term loving home for children who have been abandoned, neglected and abused.
Hope House is designed to invest in a child’s future, not just provide a meal or a place to sleep.  They do this through education, psychological therapies, and extracurricular activities - all the while placing children in a safe environment - giving these kids the opportunity to experience love and acceptance within a family unit.
On this trip, you’ll be working closely with the Braisteds and their staff on community outreach projects focused on the children of the home and kids in the barrios, building projects and other activities that might be helpful to Hope House.

In 2013, The Crossing began partnering with AIM both financially and through mission teams sent each year.

Hope Coffee has many different locations, but we specifically partner with their Honduras community.  Each year, we send a team of volunteers to help with whatever the local pastor has identified as the biggest need.  Traditionally, this includes projects like water filtration, building, education improvements, etc.  So you’ll want to be ready to work!

Ghana

City Of Refuge Ministries

Date: July 2024
Age:18+

 This relationally-driven trip provides an ideal opportunity for experienced travelers to help make an impact and build relationships with the Ghanaian people. The Crossing will be partnering with City of Refuge Ministries (CORM). City of Refuge is a home to children that have been rescued from a life of slavery in an area near Lake Volta. They teach these kids new skills, trades and about the love and hope of Jesus. 

Partnering with us on this trip will lead you into an environment that will truly stretch you.  Your eyes will be opened to the modern day slavery that is happening all around.  This trip depends on your flexibility and ability to go with the flow as culturally the locals have a more relaxed attitude about time.  Our team will work to assist CORM in whatever way is most needed, including: teaching a bible study, crafts with kids, medical assessments, and/or building projects.
