What does a Happiness Now Mission Trip look like?

 

One thing that makes us unique is our size – we’re small – which gives us a lot of flexibility. For example, while each of our mission trips have a primary focus, we stay open to letting God do things on his timing. It can take strength and patience to adjust to some of the subtle differences in Dominican culture compared to American culture, and our initial itinerary can often shift around as God works, but we end up experiencing way more exciting and miraculous things than were ever written into our plans!

By far one of the most impactful experiences for us was visiting settlements of Haitian refugees who had fled to the Dominican Republic after the earthquake in 2010. One such settlement was far outside the city, where the roads turned to gravel and the surroundings looked like a wasteland in every direction. It was Sunday, and we were blessed to experience their three hour church service. How humbling it was! Although we did not speak their language or know their hymns, it was evident that their worship was one of the most authentic offerings we have ever seen. We danced, sang, jumped, and shouted to the Lord with unashamed enthusiasm. There are no words to truly convey what we experienced that morning. Worshipping with those who have nothing, yet cling to the Lord with such bold faith that He will provide has deeply impacted us. And it was such a blessing to bring donations and be an answer to their constant prayers for provision. Of all of the days we spent in the Dominican, that day with the Haitians was most definitely one we will not forget.
