About the Cause
Posted by Centro de Desarrollo Integral Jesús es mi Capitán in Dominican Republic on 04/28/2026
In a humble neighborhood, where the sun beats down on the tin roofs, lives Manuel, a man who earned his living in construction, building houses for others. Every day he mixed cement and laid walls, dreaming of finishing his own, where his three children sleep under a half-finished roof. One day, while working on the third floor, a misstep changed everything. Manuel fell. The fall not only broke his body, but also stopped his work, his only source of income. Since then, the house has remained the same: sturdy walls, but no roof… open to the sun, the rain, and uncertainty. His children, though young, understood more than they could say. At night, they huddle together, gazing at the sky, counting stars as if they were pieces of the missing roof. From his bed, Manuel hears them laugh and feels a mixture of pain and strength. Today, his house still has no roof. When it rains, his children get wet. When the sun is strong, they have nowhere to take shelter. Despite everything, Manuel hasn't lost faith, but he lacks the resources to finish what he started. That's why he's asking for help today. Any contribution, no matter how small, can make a difference in providing his children with a safe home. Together, we can help this family have the roof over their heads they so desperately need.

How the church will sustain the Cause
We will focus on creating a monitoring team that will enable us to fulfill the mission. If more resources are needed, we will develop a plan within the congregation seeking solutions and alternatives to complete the roof issue.
We want to achieve the ideal of having a childhood for Christ, free from poverty, with an optimal level of spiritual development that will lead them to be part of a generation of preachers of the word of the Lord, seeking to form an integrated society that worships the name of God.
