As we are Living the Call Together, you can have a part by giving. Below are various options for you to financially support Alliance ministries here in the Dominican Republic.
The monthly support for the cost of living allowance for each international worker, and also the field operating budget for our ministries here are paid through the Great Commission Fund (GCF). Learn more about the GCF, or make a contribution now.
Gifts can be designated specifically for the work of a certain person. These funds would be used for a specified project related to their ministry such as literature or equipment purchases that are not normally in the budget. If you wish to contribute in this way please mark the gift, "For the Work of (name of worker AND country)", or click below by the name of the international worker to make a contribution now.
There are some operating and ministry expenses that are not included in the field budgets, that are supported through "approved specials". If you desire to contribute now you can click on the name of the approved special below, and proceed to a secure online giving site.
