“Del camino connection exists to promote justrelationships through the global church so that together we participate in god's mission to make all things new - to bring hope and transformation to individuals, families and communities.”

“Del camino connection nfp (dcc) was able to facilitate two leadership connections in 2021 between 2 us based partner churches and their dominican church partners. These leadership reconnections were important to keep the relationships strong after the absence of in person meetings since march 2020. Dcc also facilitated to large leadership connections in the dr among us and caribbean based latino pastors and the church leaders from teh dominican red del camino network. These connections promote church leaders from the dominican red del camino network. These connections promote mutual learning about integral mission, community transformation, volunteerism and strategic partnership for the common good in contexts of great need. Due to economic conditions of the us churches coupled with the travel restrictions and uncertainties of new variants of the covid 19 virus, once again the normal 15+ serving and learning team connections were all cancelled.”

“In 2021, dcc experienced an increase in donations that were channeled to support ministry partners in the global south (latin america and the caribbean). We communicated the strategic investment needs of our international church and ministry partners with our north american church and individual supporters who responded generously to support the church based community transformation initiatives. We then channeled those resources to the latin american and caribbean based churches and ministries to aide them in their efforts to continue to serve children in need, the elderly, the homeless and other neighbors in need in the context of covid 19. As a result of this support, christian schools were expanded and equipped to serve children through effected virtual on-line learning, and then in person instruction as restrictions were lifted over the course of 2021. Food security and hygiene supplies were distributed to familities in need who lost all forms of income. Medical and pastoral assistance was offered to families in need. Clean water was made available to more people in need at affordable prices to assist in the much needed hygiene and health crisis that the pandemic created. And new forms of church community engagement, emotional support and pastoral care were taught to hundreds of leaders of local churches to equip them in serving the needs of their neighbors.”

“In 2021, due to the covid pandemic, dcc's ministry activities continued to be challenged through the impacts of travel restrictions and the hesitancy on the part of ministry partners for both economic and potential travel complications that could arise in the covid climate. The shift from in person connections for leadership equipping among the networks and local churches we serve and support, as well as the church to church connections from the us to our areas of focus in latin america and the caribbean towards creative virtual and video based relational connections continued and was enhanced. Dcc's support to churches and ministries in the region continued to take place through virtual gatherings, and connections via zoom. A second diploma course consisting of 6 4-week modules on practical pastoral care for emotional needs relevant to the circumstances stemming from the social, mental, economic and spiritual needs particular to the pandemic was successfully carried out impacting over 200 pastors and church leaders. Thus, dcc's support through the training resources and organizing continued to focus on the development of online trainings, gatherings and leadership connections to help local churches shift ministry toward expressions and new ways of serving the immediate needs of the most vulnerable.”

“Dcc provides consulting, coaching, training and equipping services to churches and organizations to help them grow in their understanding of effective community engagement for systemic change, strategic partnership for the common good, and leadership capacity building to effectively serve the vulnerable on contexts of need through partnerships in cross cultural ministry. Dcc also trains and coaches church and organization leaders in the development of strategic networks and alliances for community transformation. In 2021, dcc provided coaching services to world vision international's senior leadership development program, coaching leaders from all over the globe. Dcc was also contracted in 2021 to provide facilitation, training and coaching to the city to city na latino church leaders in integral ministry and effective community engagement for change. Dcc also trained and equipped pastors and staff of living water international in the dominican republic.”
