where we go

Dominican Republic

Nothing is better than spreading the Gospel, but doing it in the Dominican Republic is a unique experience you need to see for yourself.

The beaches, deserts, and rain forests of the Dominican Republic may be alluring, but they hardly rival the passion and energy of the country’s people. Rooted deeply in Latin American culture, their love for family, and vibrancy for life, makes the Dominican Republic a fun place to serve. It is no longer considered a third world country, but the poverty within this nation provides excellent opportunities to work alongside seasoned missionaries in community development in the name of Jesus Christ. Pastoral support and outreach ministries are critical here. Nothing is better than spreading the Gospel, but doing it in the Dominican Republic is a unique experience you need to see for yourself.

Rick Sucher

Rick has been a missionary since 1999 serving first in the Philippines and now in the Dominican Republic. After his wife passed away after being married for 35 years and five beautiful children, he was blessed by God in 2022 to have Cindy come into his life. From the very beginning the heart of their ministry has been to work with pastors strengthening their churches, and assisting them in establishing outreach ministries. They have four main focuses- discipleship and nutrition programs for over 250 children on a weekly basis, establishing accredited Bible schools within their partnering churches to raise up future leaders and pastors, overseeing occupational training programs so that graduates can start their own businesses and or find better paying jobs, and lastly hosting mission teams to help impact the ministries of our church partners and impact the lives of those that come down to serve with us.

Candy Rieger

In 1998, Candy left her home and teaching position to serve a one-year commitment as a volunteer teacher in the Dominican Republic.  Soon she found herself immersed in ministry to not only Dominican learners, but also Haitian, and realized this was God’s call on her life.  In 2001, she affiliated with Missionary Ventures and has, to date, continued to serve in both the Dominican Republic where she makes her home, and in Haiti where she spends long periods of time living among the people she loves.  From childhood, Candy dreamt of a life of adventure, living in Africa.  In God’s way, and in God’s time, she has seen her dream realized as God brought Africa across the sea to the island of Hispaniola in the country of Haiti.
