A Message from a Member of our DOVE Family

Our Trip To Dove Missions

My son, who is 9, and I spent a week in Peurto Plata over Christmas. This was our second visit to the area as we enjoyed ourselves so much last year. This time has been quite different as we have now become a part of Dove Missions and sponsor a great boy named Yeuri.

We were so excited to finally meet him and spend some time getting to know him and his family. He lives with his grandmother and many other siblings. Liz took us to their home for a visit and we immediately felt welcomed. Yeuri and all his family were happy to meet us. We had a great time and the two boys really started to bond. Later that day, my son and I went to the Youth Center for the Christmas party. This was a well organized event with food, music, and over 100 very happy children. Everyone left with a nice gift from Santa and big smiles. I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful organization. We hope to visit Yeuri and his family again soon and until then we want him to know how much we care about him and all our new friends at Dove Missions.
