Work Mission Trip to the Dominican Republic

Posted on by Ken Leaman

Come to the Dominican Republic with us July 18 – 26, 2026.

In 2024, we helped build a Kitchen for a Christian School in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

This year we are returning to build the 2nd floor to that same building.

We eat, work and sleep at the secure Christian School compound, guarded 24×7.

We will do fun things like go to the beach, snorkel, go shopping, and spend time with the locals.

The total cost is $840/person, which does not include Flights to and from the D.R.

See our music video from 2024 HERE.

Ken Leaman has a passion for students, and for over 30 years has been volunteering within churches and other ministries, leading and mentoring students. These churches are:

Ken works for Amazon Web Services as a Support Operations Manager. Ken has also served on the boards of other non-profits like the DFW Technology Prayer Breakfast, and the DFW Help Desk Institute.

Ken, and his wife Karen, have been married for 32 years, and have a 31 year old son. They live in Allen, TX, just North of Dallas.

As Ken and Karen repeatedly witnessed many Christian students who were active within the Church walk away from their faith shortly after graduating high school, they grew frustrated.  Studies show that about 70% of young adults leave their faith after graduation, which is a huge issue since they are the future of the Church.  After much prayer and searching God's direction for many years, the Leaman's felt His calling to start a ministry to address this problem.  In 2014, they gathered like minded Christian professionals to help begin Young Adults of Worth Ministries.  We believe that this ministry is from God, and it will be blessed by Him for His glory alone.
