As the summer sun begins to shine brightly, a dedicated mission team from Statesboro’s Pittman Park United Methodist Church (PPUMC) in collaboration with the impactful mission organization Big Hope Bearden Ministries Inc., is gearing up for a life-changing journey to the beautiful Dominican Republic. With a passion for making a positive impact, this collaborative team is embarking on a mission to bring hope, support, and transformative change to the communities in need. In this article, we'll delve into the essential details of our mission and shed light on the crucial need for fundraising to make this journey a success.
The Medical Mission
In partnership with PPUMC and Big Hope Bearden Ministries Inc., our mission goes beyond borders as we strive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Our team, consisting of volunteers and medical personnel, is dedicated to providing essential services, education, and medical assistance to underserved communities in the Dominican Republic including communities of Haitian refugees. From building infrastructure to offering healthcare services, we aim to serve the various needs of these communities.
Empowering Communities
Aligned with the values of Pittman Park United Methodist Church and the mission philosophy of Big Hope Bearden Ministries Inc., one of the primary goals of our mission is to empower communities. We believe in fostering self-sufficiency and long-term growth, and thus, our projects include improving access to clean water and healthcare. By focusing on health and infrastructure, we aim to create a foundation for positive change that will endure for generations.
The Urgent Need for Fundraising
While our mission is fueled by passion and dedication, we recognize the crucial role that financial support plays in ensuring the success of our endeavors. The costs associated with travel, accommodation, and the implementation of medical projects demand a collective effort from our community, and this is where we seek your support.
