About
Rescue First Ministries is a ministry located on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic. It's founders, Rick and Barb Sucher, first started their journey in South East Asia in the Philippines. After serving for almost seven years there, they felt God changing their course and moving them to the Dominican Republic where they have now been serving for the past nineteen years. First on the South Coast and now on the North Coast of the DR, they have connections all over the Island and do ministry not only in their hometown but also all the surrounding cities of the Dominican Republic. Along with their children, Rick and Barb aim to spread the gospel not only to the locals but also the tourists.
Things We Do
How We Make A Difference
Feeding Programs
Feeding the hungry
At all our feeding centers we make sure that the children are fed a nutritionist meal. All the kids at the center are not only receiving a meal but are also taught table manners, how to speak to others with respect and a bible story that comes with a value each week.
Short-Term Mission Teams
Serving people out of their bubble
We love having short-term mission teams come down and work with us! We have teams come down from all over the United States. It's such an incredible way for people to step out of their comfort zones and experience a new way of life! It's such a privilege for our family to be able to see so many lives changed not only in the people of the Dominican Republic but also the lives of each team member that comes down.
Community Restoration Projects
Helping The Community
Believe it or not, the most enthusiastic people we find to clean up a community are the people that live there! We work alongside the
locals to improve their living conditions and share Christ's love as we do it!
Children's Outreaches
Raising Up The New Generation
At all our children's programs, we believe that we should teach the kids to learn how to speak other languages such as English, Spanish, and Creole, but we mostly focus on teaching them about God and what he did for us! We believe that we should equip the children with the everyday knowledge that they have yet to learn. In the areas we work in most of the children are neglected and unloved. In our programs, it is very important to us that the children leave feeling extremely loved and important. All our staff comes in ready to pour into the lives of these children and to share the light of God that is within them.
Bible Schools
Raising Up Future Pastors
As partners with ISOM, International School Of Ministry, we are planting bible schools all of the island of the Dominican Republic. When we see a need in the community for a pastor we come alongside and plant a bible school that will help raise up future pastors and leaders within the community.
