Why We’re Going

In 2025, Summer Dey was invited to the Dominican Republic to preach and minister. What happened during that trip was incredible! The favor of God was upon the team and we got to witness miracles, healing, and powerful, life-changing encounters with God every day.

Now Fear Into Faith Ministries is opening the door for others to experience what God is doing there. This will be the first official Fear Into Faith mission trip, and we believe it’s the beginning of something that will impact lives for years to come.

This Is More Than a Trip

This is the birth of a new missions branch of Fear Into Faith Ministries. We believe God is calling believers to step outside their comfort zones and actively bring His love to the world.

Our goal is simple:

To facilitate radical encounters with God, while equipping believers to minister with boldness and faith.

What You’ll Experience

A week of hands-on ministry that will stretch your faith and grow you in boldness as you walk out being a true disciple of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Praying and ministering to people

Pray For Those In Need

Visit homes, pray healing over families, and encourage people in their faith.

Serving meals and helping communities

Serve Communities

Help feed families, serve meals, and bring hope to villages.

Church ministry and worship

Church Ministry

Participate in worship, preaching, and ministry in local churches.

A Trip That Builds Bold Faith

Mission trips have a unique way of strengthening faith. When you pray for someone expecting God to move and you see Him answer, something changes inside of you.

Many believers discover new confidence and boldness when they step into ministry in this environment. This experience will deepen your faith and equip you to minister wherever God calls you.
