Christian organizations that sponsor volunteer trips domestically and abroad vary greatly in their missions. Finding one that fits for your schedule and objectives can be a difficult task, but it can be done. You can vacation, have a wonderful time and donate your time all while enjoying fellowship with fellow Christians. - Orphanage Outreach has "adopted" an orphanage in Monte Cristi in the Dominican Republic. By coordinating their missions with local churches, they've been able to build a team that not only volunteers in the orphanage, but reaches out into the community as well.
