We Want Your Team

Short-term teams form one of the most crucial parts of our story. Short-term missionaries have contributed to the Pimentel vision through evangelism, prayer, construction, leadership training, and ministry development since 1994. Lives changed over the years are a direct result of Christ working through teams. We can help local churches and parachurch ministries plan, organize, and experience missions to the Dominican Republic with a wide spectrum of possibilities.

You will get to see, firsthand, the impact of caring compassion on the lives of children and the impact it can have in a city. We look forward to partnering with you and helping you get your team together. Our trips are typically 9 day trips at an in-country cost of $750 US per person, which also covers ministry costs for the trip. The Pimentel Project will coordinate ministry and construction supplies, provide team housing, in-country travel, meals, translators, and a recreation day.
