A Heart for the Nations International Ministries

In the Dominican Republic, public schools are overcrowded and offer a very low standard of education. Many come through this system without knowing how to read or write. In our small town of Baitoa, we believe that every child has the right to a quality education. Colegio un Lugar de Esperanza, meaning A Place of Hope, was founded in 2000 to impact the lives and education of the children in our community. Our mission is to provide a quality education for the children that will launch them into a promising future. We hope to help them break the chains of poverty by equipping them both academically and spiritually and change a generation by providing them with the tools they need for success.

One of our most powerful outlets for ministry is through media - both radio and television.  In 2008 Leo founded a television network we later were able to add a radio ministry. The media outreach expands the reach of our ministry, exposing communities to everything from education to the power of God to change lives. 

Our ministry and church base is located in the rural area of Baitoa but the ministry extends to the “barrio of Hato Mayor,” located in the city of Santiago where we have two churches under our covering. One of those churches is the Haitian church that serves as a place of refuge and hope. We have a youth ministry, a children's ministry, and different outreach programs such as street evangelism and hospital visits.
