Our mission is to bring the hope of Christ to families living through the challenges of pediatric cancer so that children who are sick will laugh and play and feel “normal” again; that siblings, who often compete with cancer, will feel cherished and get to have uninterrupted family fun; that moms and dads will grow strong and begin lifelong friendships with others on Kindred Journeys; and, most importantly, that everyone at Blue Skies will experience the love of our Heavenly Father.

1. Serve orphans and vulnerable children by providing basic needs such as food, clean water, education, clothing, appropriate living conditions, and medical care.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC - Camilo & Karla Garcia
Our partners Camilo, Karla and Marcelo Garcia oversee “La Misión,” a non-denominational Christian ministry in the capital city of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. “La Misión” is the result of Christians partnering together to share the Gospel to make disciples for Jesus Christ. Their vision is to see people’s lives transformed by the love of Christ, grounded in the Word and passionately serving Jesus in this nation and the world. Their mission is to spread the love of God in the communities where they live, work, study, and congregate; making disciples for Jesus Christ through faithful teaching of the Bible, training of local missionaries, and church planting.
The evangelistic work of “La Misión” is carried out throughout the city while maintains outreach efforts and local mission in surrounding towns and impoverished communities. A strong component of “La Misión” is the concept of helping local Christians become missionaries in their own country. This is achieved by constant training in discipleship programs, as well as community development programs in alliance with other organizations and missionaries. In addition to weekly home-based Bible studies and classes, the church gathers once a week on Sunday mornings for new believers’ Bible class followed by the main worship service.
