Make a Global Impact
As we are on mission together, we take Jesus’ command to “make disciples of all nations” seriously (Matt. 28:19). We are honored to support and partner with ministries all over the world to help them make disciples who are fully alive in Jesus.
Global Partners
Plainfield Christian Church partners with different missionaries and organizations around the world. Learn more about our partners, missionaries, church plants, and next gen partnerships.
We want everyone to be Fully Alive, both here in our community and around the world. That's why we're partnering with GO Ministries to plant ten churches in the community of Gurabo, part of the city of Santiago, Dominican Republic between now and the end of 2028.
This is an amazing opportunity for our church to make a big difference in this community. We want everyone in our church family to pray for this ministry. As Elvis Jaquez, the Gurabo Network Leader, and his team work to plant churches, we will also send teams down to help them with their work.

Trip Name: Gurabo trip
Trip Destination: Gurabo (a suburb of Santiago), Dominican Republic
Ministry partner: GO Ministries. To learn more, go to https://gomin.org/planting.
Trip Dates: July 6-13, 2027
We are in the middle of a partnership with GO Ministries where the goal is to plant 10 churches in 5 years in a community called Gurabo. So far, there have been 8 churches planted. Our trips with GO allow us to participate in this partnership and personally help extend GO's efforts in this endeavor.
What will I do?
We will split our time between a variety of different ministries to help plant churches in Gurabo, a community in Santiago, Dominican Republic. These include light construction and service projects, children’s ministry, prayer walking, distributing donations, and building relationships with church leaders and community members. This is a discipleship experience, not just a service opportunity. Each day, team members will have a time for devotions. They will also debrief with their fellow team members each day to grow and learn together.
What can I expect?
This is a discipleship experience, not just a service opportunity. Each day, team members will have a time for devotions. They will also debrief with their fellow team members each day to grow and learn together. We will stay in GO Ministries team housing/dormitories. We will eat a variety of island foods. Rice, beans, chicken, and fruit are staples in the Dominican Republic. We will have three team meetings before the trip to help us prepare. We will also have a team party after the trip to celebrate with our families.
Estimated Trip Cost
$2500 ($1250 donation to GO Ministries plus airfare and travel insurance.) This does not include travel documents (such as passports and visas), meals during travel, spending money, vaccinations, and medications. Thanks to the generosity of our elders, the church will cover the donation to GO (a $1250 value) for team members that are active at Plainfield Christian Church. This lowers the estimated trip cost to $1250 per person. Participants are encouraged to fundraise for their trips. Fundraising training will be provided. Additional financial assistance is available for a limited number of trip participants.
Team Information
This is a great trip for families. Children as young as seven can serve on this trip.

Trip Name: Gurabo Medical Trip
Trip Destination: Santiago, Dominican Republic
Ministry Partner: GO Ministries. To learn more, go to https://gomin.org/planting.
Trip Dates: October 30-November 6, 2027
We are in the middle of a partnership with GO Ministries where the goal is to plant 10 churches in 5 years in a community called Gurabo. So far, there have been 8 churches planted. Our trips with GO allow us to participate in this partnership and personally help extend GO's efforts in this endeavor. Medical trips give us a unique opportunity to deliver a much needed service in partnership with the local leaders in Gurabo.
What will I do?
The medical team will do medical clinics in neighborhoods where GO is planting churches. These clinics will provide basic primary care. Team members will take vital signs, working in the pharmacy, or pray with patients. Providers (MDs, PAs, NPs, etc.) will see patients. This clinic will be much more informal than an American medical clinic. While we need medical providers for this trip to be successful, this trip is also open to nonmedical volunteers. The medical team is limited to ten. If we get more than ten team members, the rest will do light construction and service projects. This is a discipleship experience, not just a service opportunity. Each day, team members will have a time for devotions. They will also debrief with their fellow team members each day to grow and learn together.

We will care for all the students’ needs so that they can focus entirely on their studies. Team members will also be blessed as they eat, worship, and pray with these students each day. This is a discipleship experience, not just a service opportunity. Each day, team members will have a time for devotions. They will also debrief with their fellow team members each day to grow and learn together.
