LWU Campus Ministries completes 13th DR mission trip From Duane Bonifer For a group of Lindsey Wilson University students, part of their first trip outside of the United States was spent inside of prisons in the Dominican Republic. The students were members of a 16-person mission trip to Santiago, Dominican Republic, sponsored by Lindsey Wilson's campus ministries. While serving in the Caribbean nation, the Lindsey Wilson group partnered with GO Ministries, a Christian non-profit organization, to teach vacation Bible school and take part in a prison ministry. "The trip gives you more of a global awareness and a deeper sense of the Lindsey Wilson mission," said Lindsey Wilson Chaplain the Rev. Tyler Brumfield, who helped lead the June 24-July 1, 2025, trip. "I'm really proud of our students. The trip pushed them a lot, but our students stepped up and made a difference in others' lives. I'm so proud of our students and the way I saw them learn through experience." The trip marked the 13th time that Lindsey Wilson's campus ministries has worked with the Caribbean-based GO Ministries. On this trip, the Lindsey Wilson group taught vacation Bible school at a church, which attracted a record 150 area children, as well as in one of Santiago's more impoverished areas. They also helped coordinate family day at three prisons.
