In February 2021, the WAY Radio listeners in Jacksonville and in Brunswick provided the funding needed to construct a community center. The WAY Radio community center in Alto de la Jagua will provide discipleship programs, including the Boys’ Life Basketball Discipleship program. It will provide a meeting place for the 200 children in the village to learn about Jesus while being afforded the opportunity to have programs that will challenge them to avoid the traditional traps of poverty in the Dominican Republic. Too many children, without programs like ours, end up trapped in a life of abuse and exploitation. Send a gift
Our Boys’ Life Basketball Discipleship program empowers young men to become leaders in spreading the gospel in their communities.
U CAN SEE THE WORK IN PERSON! Want to see the community center as it’s being built, or plan a trip for when it’s completed? You can work with Crossover CUPS Mission and visit the mountain village that WAY Radio’s listeners and staff have adopted … Alto de la Jagua.
WHAT’S NEXT? Once the community center is running, we’ll begin planning for the trade programs that will help give children an alternative to the exploitation that so many endure. Life skills like sewing and baking help the children eventually find REAL employment, while continuing to grow in their newfound faith in Christ.
JOIN US! WAY Radio in Jacksonville and in Brunswick are excited about what the future holds for the residents of Alto de la Jagua. Together we can make a difference in the Caribbean. Join us on a visit, join us in prayer, join us in support.
October Update
588 Children Receive Backpacks and School Supplies Hey CUPS Family, Daniel and Judith and all of your CUPS Missionaries send a big thank you to everyone who brought school supply donations and made financial contributions to support the school supply project this year! Dominican students start back to school a little later than American students, so last month you provided enough funds and materials to give backpacks filled with school supplies to 588 students in Zion, La Union, Valedor, Alto de la Jagua, Paraiso, and New Dawn who are returning to school. The average Dominican older than 15 has completed less than 8 years of schooling. Participation rates in rural and impoverished villages like the ones CUPS Mission serves is even lower. Your partnership means that more children will have the tools they need to stay in school longer, and they will have a community of support who loves them in Jesus’ name to help with their educational needs. You make all of this possible through your continued faithfulness in giving. Thank you!

August Update
A Miracle 12 Years in the Making It was the summer of 2011, and much like any summer I was working with teams of summer missionaries who had given of their time, talent and resources to join CUPS Mission in the Dominican Republic. That year we were putting a roof on Victor and Virginia’s home. Virginia has always been a jovial spirit and expressed her faith in God. Victor… not so much. He was a poor, hard-working fruit picker who spent most days climbing trees deep in the mountain forests surrounding his village. He didn’t have time or patience for our talks of faith in Christ, but they are a family who CUPS missionaries have loved and served for over a decade, and this year God performed a miracle! Click below to read the full story. https://cupsmission.com/cupsblog/august-2023 Summer camps have wrapped up but there is still more work to be done.
