We’re just 3 weeks out from our 19th annual mission trip to the Dominican Republic!

This year we’re hoping to equip a record 650 kids for school. Thanks to your amazing generosity we are well on our way, and if you’d like to join in the support for this year’s trip, there’s still time to make a difference.

We also ask for prayers for a safe and successful trip!

We are so grateful for the generous support! Thank you South Oldham Rotary!!!! ❤️

The South Oldham Rotary Club is proud to support meaningful global impact! 🌍

We recently presented a $1,500 donation to Starfish Missions, Inc. to help provide required school uniforms, shoes, and basic supplies for underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic.

Through partnerships with local churches, Starfish Missions identifies children at risk of missing school due to financial hardship. Their team then travels to the Dominican Republic to personally facilitate the purchase and distribution of these essential items, ensuring support goes directly where it’s needed most.

Thanks to these efforts, 643 children were equipped for school last year, opening doors to education and brighter futures. 📚

We were honored to present the donation to Michael Searcy (President, Treasurer & Co-Founder) and Beth Searcy (Vice President, Secretary & Co-Founder), with the check presented by Rotary Club President Tim Feeley.

Together, we’re making a difference—one child at a time. 💙

As we approach the end of the year, we’re reminded that “to whom much is given, much is required.” (Luke 12:48)

At Starfish Missions, we are blessed to serve underprivileged children in the Dominican Republic by providing the mandatory school supplies they need to attend school—supplies that open doors to education, opportunity, and hope.

If you feel led to give as part of your year-end giving, we humbly invite you to partner with us. Every donation helps us put uniforms, shoes, backpacks, notebooks, and pencils into the hands of children who are eager to learn and grow but may not otherwise have the opportunity.

As always, we are grateful for your support and for making a difference…one child at a time.

Donations can be made through our website - where you can also find a link to our annual report from this year’s trip!

…another favorite memory from this year’s mission trip was attending a youth service. there were only 10 students in attendance…and the leader was noticably nervous. but all the students were listening…no cell phones. no distractions. just focusing on the message. once again, it was a clear demonstration of “Inspiring Hope, Cultivating Potential, Making a Difference” in the younger generation!

One of my favorite memories from this year‘s mission trip was sitting behind this little girl at church as she tried to mirror the dance moves of the teenagers leading worship. So cool to see the church “Inspiring Hope, Cultivating Potential, Making a Difference” in the younger generation! Little eyes are always watching! 🥹
