He Is Risen — And That Changes Everything, Everywhere

He is risen. 🙌

The resurrection of Jesus isn't just good news for Sunday morning — it's the foundation of everything we do. It's why we walk alongside Pastor Santiago and his congregation in the Dominican Republic. It's why local leaders in Kenya press on through drought and difficulty. It's why church planters in Guatemala and Costa Rica share the gospel week after week.

Because Christ is alive, our labor in partnership with His church is never in vain.
This Easter, we're grateful for every prayer, every gift, and every partner who makes it possible to carry the hope of the risen King to the ends of the earth.

He is risen indeed. 🙏
"Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." — 1 Corinthians 15:58

450 SMILES TRANSFORMED: VILLA HERMOSA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC 🇩🇴🦷

Villa Hermosa is a rural community of 500 students and their families where, for generations, dental pain was just a fact of life.

Adults lived with chronic tooth pain that affected their ability to work. Children missed school because of infections. Preventive care? Unheard of. Most had never seen a dentist.

In March 2025, comprehensive dental care reached this community through local church partnership:

THE IMPACT:
✅ 50+ adults and children now pain-free (extractions completed)
✅ 400+ students received their first-ever dental cleaning + fluoride treatment
✅ 30+ adults received professional cleanings they couldn't otherwise afford
✅ Oral hygiene education provided to every patient
✅ Gospel conversations happening naturally through dignified care

AND NEXT MONTH, WE'RE GOING BACK.

In March 2026, a team will return to Villa Hermosa to continue the work. More families will receive dental care. More children will experience pain relief. More gospel conversations will happen through dignified healthcare.

This isn't one-time charity—it's long-term partnership. A permanent dental clinic is being built on the school campus right now, ensuring Villa Hermosa will have access to dignified dental care for generations.

The community knew what they needed. Pastor Santiago and Iglesia de Dios Fuente de Luz created the pathway. And faithful partners (including and students) are making generational transformation possible.

450 people will never forget the day pain ended. And in March, hundreds more will experience that same relief.
