DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Hurricane Relief Teams Now!
STEM has scheduled important dates for disaster-relief teams to serve the Dominican
Republic summer 2008.
Hurricane Noel hammered the DR last fall, leaving a wake of devastation.
STEM’s partner churches are doing their best to bring relief by providing
food and medical supplies and building materials. But the need is
overwhelming. So we’re sending relief teams to serve alongside them.
These seven dates are 'OPEN' to groups and individuals alike. Four of the
trips are 11-day/10 nights, while three relief trips are 8-days/7-nights.
For more details about these teams, check out the DR page of our
website by copying the following link and pasting it into your address bar:

Use your summer for the Lord and his kingdom in the DR!

Field Relationships Strengthened in Five Nations
Team Operations V.P. Jim Levin will be visiting several STEM on-field sites this winter to strengthen relationships with many of STEM’s valuable field partners. Strengthened field relationships enhance the effectiveness of each STEM short-term mission team’s ministry outreach. Along with full-time STEM Team Leader Ramon FLores, Jim will be visiting nine new possible field locations in Honduras, El Salvador, and Belize this January. In February, Jim will visit new team sites in the Central Plateau of Haiti, then meet up with his wife and part-time STEM Team Leader Cherie, and summer 2008 STEM Team Leader Katia where the three will visit various sites and ministry colleagues in the Dominican Republic with a special eye towards getting set to receive up to seven work/ministry teams in the DR this summer.- DEC 1
