San Juan
The Dominicans divide their country into three regions; North, East, and South. The southern region consists of the entire area south of Elias Piña, and everything east of the Haitian border over to the city of Haina (see map). This area is the poorest of the country and has many towns and villages with little or no gospel presence. The majority of AIM’s ministries work in this zone. “El Sur”, as the locals call it, is the least reached area of the DR and has become AIM’s major focus.
One of the major cities in the south is San Juan de la Maguana. AIM is establishing a base in this town to be a launching pad for teams and ministries that can spread out into various communities throughout the south. Groups will be involved in fortifying existing churches in these towns and working alongside local laborers to plant churches in unreached areas.
