Hearts for Jesus
For 20 years, SWD has been an active mission partner in the efforts to plant a national Lutheran Church body in the Dominican Republic. Starting with a Brazilian Pastor and an American Deaconess, the Dominican Mission now supports five congregations, one preaching station, two schools, a home for those with developmental disabilities, and a seminary.
As a part of our 2025 District Convention, we passed a resolution calling for a thank-offering seeking to raise $100,000 for the construction of a building for one of the congregations in the D.R.
