Solid Rock Missions
 Solid Rock Missions works primarily in the west-central part of the Dominican Republic with healthcare and education. SRM currently works with two clinics and four Christian schools. They have a guesthouse where they host short-term teams that serve with these ministries. Solid Rock Missions also works with a Christian radio station on the eastside of the Dominican Republic.
Solid Rock Missions was officially incorporated in 1992 as a 501(c3) organization to support these Dominican-run ministries. We are a non-denominational group of individuals and organizations that have partnered to help meet the needs spiritually, physically, socially and educationally in the name of Jesus Christ. Our volunteer board comes from the United States and Canada. We have a small North American staff headquartered in Wauseon, Ohio. |

Foundation for Peace
 The Foundation for Peace is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded in 2002 to work hand-in-hand with people in materially impoverished areas of the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Kenya. We who live in abundance are meant to promote peace and instill hope by sharing our time, our talents and our resources with those who hunger, thirst and suffer from economic oppression and a lack of educational opportunity. It is our belief that working together as long-term partners in solidarity will result in sustainable and successful initiatives that relieve the effects of poverty, encourage personal growth and overcome injustice.
