In the spring of 2023, I came to the Dominican Republic on a mission trip with Greater Holland Younglife and worked at Pico Escondido in Jarabacoa. During one of our days in Jarabacoa, our group came to do a tour of Doulos and I was inspired by the school's education system and their use of biblical integration in the classroom; I knew that Doulos was special from the moment I stepped on campus. At this point in my senior year of college, I had no idea what I was going to do after graduation; after visiting Doulos, I felt the Lord calling me to apply and see what He could have for me in the Dominican Republic. After sending in my application, I found out that Doulos had been praying for a new middle school science teacher and knew that the Lord had placed me as the answer to that prayer. I have now been in Jarabacoa for three weeks and have seen the Lord's faithfulness every day. I am so excited to be here!

The work of Doulos is important because it is equipping students to be God-driven disciples and leaders in their communities from the lens of the Christian faith.
