What are the key components and experiences involved in a Happiness Now Mission Trip?

What sets us apart is our small size, which grants us remarkable flexibility. While our mission trips have specific objectives, we remain open to divine intervention and allow God to work according to His timing. Adapting to the nuances of Dominican culture compared to American culture requires strength and patience, leading to adjustments in our initial itinerary as we align with God’s will. Yet, these shifts often result in experiencing far more thrilling and miraculous occurrences than what we could have ever anticipated or planned for! Join us on our journey as we embrace the unexpected and witness the extraordinary unfold before our eyes.

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.
