The Dominican Republic and Haiti share the island of Hispañiola. Hispañiola is the second largest island in the Caribbean after Cuba. However, while the two countries may share the same island, their cultures are vastly different.

G.O. Ministries supports several ministries mostly located in central and northeastern Haiti including seven pastors and churches, seven schools, a nutrition center, a doctor leading medical clinics, a counselor in Port-au-Prince following the earthquake, and a dormitory to house short-term teams in Phaeton.

G.O. also works cooperatively with several other mission organizations to help with the relief and restoration efforts in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake. For more information on those efforts, click here.

Colombia is a country located in the northwestern region of South America. Colombia is a large and physically diverse nation. It is the fourth-largest country in South America (after Brazil, Argentina, and Peru).  Its vast territory is one of great physical contrasts, ranging from the towering, snowcapped peaks of the Andes to the hot, humid plains of the Amazon River Basin. Not only is Colombia large in area, but it also has a large population, containing more people than any other South American country except Brazil.
