Branson, Paul & Sharyn

We originate from Western Canada (Paul from Victoria, Sharyn from Northern Alberta). We were married in May 1991 and have two children, Noah and Samantha. Neither one of us come from Christian backgrounds. We both found the Lord and accepted Jesus in our teen years. In 1995, we had our first taste of missions while doing a Discipleship Training School through Mercy Ships. We spent two months in various European ports, a month in Latvia and two months in Northern Ireland. During this time, we received the call into full time missions. We have been serving our Lord in the mountains of central Dominican Republic since June 1997. In the Dominican Republic, we have a medical clinic for the poor, a construction program to help improve housing for those in need, a school sponsorship program with over 150 students, ages preschool through university actively sponsored, evangelism, hosting pastoral and marriage conferences, hosting mission teams from Canada and the United States and working with local churches on various ministry projects.
