"Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon. The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring."
(Isaiah 58:10-11)

In the fall of 2007, Calvary Christian Fellowship, Inc. embarked on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic. There is a great need in the Dominican Republic and Calvary wanted to be an agent of change. Partners' finances helped send food and clothing to the Dominican Republic and help the mission organizer, Helen Fuentes, go on this trip. Food, clothing, finances, and spiritual ministry was brought to those in need in the southeast region of the Dominican Republic, namely in and around the municipality of Santo Domingo Este (East Santo Domingo) in the Santo Domingo province.

Due to numerous food donations and financial support Operation Blessing in the Dominican Republic was a great success. As God is a faithful and a good God, eighty families were blessed with food bags in the mountain villages of the Chacon; Consuelo in the San Pedro de Macor�s province; Santo Domingo Este in the Santo Domingo province; and an area near Mango Limpio in the Monte Plata province. A van was able to be rented to take the team deep into the mountains and to places where there are no services availbe to these communites. Driving daily though the Duarte and Bosch bridges, crossing the Rio Ozama (Ozama River) clothing and shoes were also given to twenty-five families. Along with bags of food, senior citizens of Consuelito were given slippers, t-shirts, and lady day dresses. The worn and tired faces of the elderly and their families turned into happiness; they were filled with joy and surprise when they received these gifts. The families in these areas are in much need of the basic necessities that sometimes we take advantage of. We thank God that Calvary was able to make a difference, even if it was for a few days.
