About Outcast Redeemed

Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. —Matt 5:7

Our Story…

The humanitarian work of Outcast Redeemed began in 2019. While vacationing in Punta Cana and traveling inland from the beautiful beaches of our resort, we were stunned by the abject poverty and desperate living conditions. Upon returning to the US we researched the history and circumstances regarding Haiti and the Dominican Republic which make up the island of Hispaniola. We found a tragic history which has led to widespread poverty and utter hopelessness for many people. God has given us a mission of hope and a vision for change.

It comes down to us. We can be the agent of change and bring light where there is darkness. We can bring change that will impact children and the generations after them. Our goal is to disrupt the cycle of poverty by providing hope. Many people ask God, why he doesn’t do something about the suffering in the world and he says, “I did, I created you!”

Mission and Values Statement

Mission: To serve and develop children, living in the most desperate places in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We share the love of Jesus in order to bring hope to the hopeless and redemption to the outcast.

Vision: For children to grow in wisdom and stature and become beacons of hope and agents of change in their community for generations to come.

Goal: To build safe sustainable communities as we serve and train up the next generation. Each child will know they are loved by a Heavenly Father and their life will reflect their God given purpose that is unique to them.
