Dominican Republic

Fisher's International Missions was contacted by the Church of the Brethren to rebuild one Church and to build a new Church in San Juan Maguana, Dominican Republic in 1993-94. Three teams went to the Dominican Republic and put a new roof on the old Church. Work teams built the first steel trusses that were found in the country of the Dominican Republic in 1993. In 1994, the foundation team called Pastor Fisher to notify him that the Church was in a flood plain. Fisher's International Missions had to raise $4,000 in two weeks to be able to finish the project. The team was able to train a local welding crew to build trusses and they are now providing those for the country of the Dominican Republic. The team placed a steel roof on the Church, lowered the windows and had a center ventilation in the roof. Fans were placed in the sanctuary which created a cooling effect for the congregation. It was some of the first innovation using convection to cool a building in the Dominican Republic. The congregation of 200 is now enjoying the ventilation and growing. Praise the Lord!
