One way Brown Horse Projects works to achieve our mission is by coordinating several mission trips annually that focus on medical care, health education, arts enrichment and relationship-building.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Our clinic is fully funded by generous donors to support the clinic monthly or through one-time donations. Please consider becoming a regular giving partner. You can also help by sharing our story with your church, family and friends, pray alongside us or visit the shop to purchase Brown Horse Projects’ merchandise.
Friends, the need is great. Just a 4-hour flight from Miami will take you to the island of Hispaniola, home to some of the most beautiful, hard-working, humble, kind and tenacious people. Despite desperate circumstances in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, our neighbors persevere, cling to the hope of the Gospel, and teach us time and time again, as we work together, to do the same.

Called to Serve Mission Trip Scholarship Fund
At Brown Horse Projects, we believe that when God calls someone to serve, finances should never be the thing that keeps them home. John and Joyce Albrecht, longtime supporters of Brown Horse Projects, passionate believers in the power of missions, and fellow horse lovers (which obviously makes them exceptionally cool) have generously established the Called to Serve Mission Trip Scholarship Fund. This fund was created to help remove financial barriers for those who feel called to serve on a Brown Horse Projects mission trip.
Whether you’re a student, working adult, retiree, or simply someone who has a heart to serve but limited financial means, this fund exists to help make participation possible. Mission trips can be life-changing—not only for the communities we serve, but for those who go. John and Joyce wanted to ensure that cost would never be the deciding factor for someone willing to answer that call. If you feel called to serve with Brown Horse Projects, but finances are standing in the way, we encourage you to apply.
