Why the Dominican?
We go to the Dominican Republic to come alongside the incredible work being done at the One Child Hope Center in Santiago; a place Freedom Church has the privilege of partnering with. Many from our church family sponsor children there, and this trip gives us the opportunity to meet those kids, build relationships, and see the impact of that support firsthand. Throughout the week, we’ll invest in the lives of the children and staff, serve in practical ways, and learn more about how One Child is bringing hope to the next generation in the D.R.

Why Alaska?
We go to Alaska because it’s one of the most unchurched regions in the world, and many communities there face deep struggles with poverty, addiction, and homelessness. This trip is an opportunity to come alongside local churches already doing powerful work on the ground in Wasilla and the surrounding areas. Through outreach, service projects, and tangible acts of love, we get to support and strengthen their efforts; bringing hope where it’s needed most.

Devan
“I went on my first mission trip to Louisiana when I was 16, and it completely changed my life and drew me in to the joy of serving because of all Jesus has done for us. Each opportunity to serve nationally, internationally and locally since has pushed me, shaped me and inspired me to become more like Christ through servant leadership. I am so excited to follow God's call to Alaska this summer and to watch the way He works through our team!”

Thomas
This is Thomas’ second time returning to Alaska.
“I have always had a passion for serving others. I had been considering going on a mission trip for some time, after praying on it, I felt that Alaska was the right choice for me.”
Mike
“Being as that Alaska is still part of the U.S., it still felt like a different country. It was very eye-opening to see all the need there. Just being able to serve at both Frontline Mission and The Hope Center to meet those needs, to serve others (my fellow mission team, as well), and showing God’s love outside of where I live bring me so much joy. Having this opportunity has been a great experience for me, and how I see and feel about every single person around me.”
Jessa
“Mission Trip have been on my heart since I was very young and I had the pleasure of attending several trips both near and far in my highschool years. I have seen God move in the midst of these trips while also growing in understanding and love for others myself. Though attending trips as a mother is a bit more challenging, I want to be an example to my kids what it means to love our neighbors, get out of our comfort zone, and allow God to lead us to the needs of others.”
