Hello, my name is Ethan Byrd and I recently decided to go on a mission trip to Dominican Republic with a team from my Impact Church (www.weimpact.church). When the trip was announced I could feel God pulling on my heart to be a part to make an imprint on this area of the world. We will be working alongside missionaries with a ministry called DR Mission. I’m excited about this trip, because we are seeing positive change in the lives of those that need it most in that region of the world. DR Mission is involved in church planting, Christian education for children and economic development. My mission and objective while we are there is to teach and speak into the youth. The next generation is coming in behind great men and women, and I would like to be able to assist in making sure that when our generation walks out into the world, they understand that God is there rock. Our objective is to make sure the youth do not have to hit rock bottom to find the rock. Life is easier when people know they have a Father looking after them. Someone who has their hand on their life. Our objective is to spread the word. For me personally, it’s to touch the hearts of young men. Men that can know they can serve, that they are not alone, that they build support with other brothers along with them pushing toward the same objective of getting to know God. It’s a way to help them learn to support each other. Men do not realize they have other people to help guide them, that they are not alone in this world and they are here with great purpose. When we don’t realize that God is there, is when you forget to depend on God, how can you open up your heart to others if you have aloud God in? You can’t. My goal, is to make those walls of Jericho fall. Shout the Gospel as loud as I can, and have those young men’s walls come down and join the army of God.

I cannot think of a better way to spend my time than sharing the Gospel with others and allowing God to change my own heart and life in the process!

The total cost of this trip is $ 2000 plus airfare from July 11th to July 21st, 2025.

During the next several weeks I will be working very hard to raise the funds to go and I wanted to begin by asking you to be part of this mission trip with me by helping, by praying for me and the team going and if you are able to help me raise the money needed. Any amount you give will be greatly appreciated!

Your support is a key part of the incredible ministry I know will happen in Dominican Republic! I can’t wait to show photos and report of the wonderful things the Lord will do through this trip.

My goal is to have $ 2500.00 raised by July 5th, so I want to thank you for your consideration.

I look forward to sharing photos and a great report of the trip with you.

God Bless You,

Ethan Byrd
