Programs

Over 600 children receive a Christian education at G.O. Ministries supported Colegio Isaias Immanuel located in Hoya del Caimito, Santiago.  Students from pre-K to grade 8 are supported through the G.O. Kids! Sponsorship program where they receive an education, school supplies, and a birthday and Christmas present.  The school’s focus is to prime future leaders on the island.

An additional 21 churches (7 in Haiti) offer spiritual instruction to their communities offering what mercy ministries they can offer in conjunction with serving teams.

Pastor training is offered to 31 pastors (having on average an 8^th grade education) and emerging leaders on a monthly basis.  Courses offered range from theology to marriage and family counseling to community development projects.

The Seminary of the Americas is in the planning phase which will provide seminary and community development training to all students that enroll.

Sports outreach offers an alternative to the streets for hundreds of at risk urban youth and equips them with a vision to transform their communities by becoming agents of positive change. After school programs will offer healthy opportunities in self-development as well as encourage young people to stay in school long term. As leaders emerge they will have opportunities to become involved in a variety of community development initiatives spanning from health issues facing developing world communities to micro-business co-ops and startups.

The Complex will include multiple baseball fields, basketball courts, volleyball courts, soccer fields, and indoor basketball courts as well.

In the Dominican Republic, the Leadership Development Complex will serve as an economic engine within the community. A multitude of business startups and rental properties will provide sustainable income for the program at large. Among the first phase of businesses will be apartment and office facilities available for rent, a block company, a welding shop, and motorcycle repair shop. As these initial companies become profitable other startups will begin, each growing the opportunities for involvement for at risk youth in developing integrity, work ethic, and on the job experience giving them a vision not just for employment, but for business leadership.

Many people in the Dominican and Haiti go without medical care due to the expense or the travel involved.  The G.O. Ministries Medical Outreach programs are designed to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of the communities we serve.  Dr. Vladimir Rosario Canela and Dr. Auris Canela are joined by registered nurse, Isabel Alba to provide a daily clinic in Hoya del Caimito, Santiago five days a week.  In addition, G.O. Ministries offers medical clinics throughout the region in the more remote communities we partner in to provide basic medical care and needed medications and vitamins in conjunction with short-term mission teams.  Over 10,000 patients are seen each year on average through our medical clinics.

Many children in the Dominican Republic and Haiti suffer daily from the effects of malnourishment.  It is a devastating effect of poverty and prevalent in both countries.  G.O. Ministries develops Nutrition Centers through local churches to meet this need and supplies children six hot meals each week.  Over 1,000 children are currently being fed through Nutrition Centers in Hoya de Bartola, Los Guandules, Santa Lucia, Hato del Yaque, Batey 9, Batey Cuchilla, Sabaneta de Yasica, Los Perez, San Marc and Phaeton, Haiti.

Buildings are needed to host schools, medical clinics, nutrition centers and as a community center for churches.  As a result, the G.O. Ministries construction team works block by block year round to provide buildings for worship, learning, healing, and nourishment.
