Donate to Patros Conference 2026 - Dominican Republic2nd Annual Patros Conference - Dominican Republic
On November 6–7, 2026, we have been invited to partner again with one of the largest church networks in the country to equip men to become Patros—men who courageously stand in the gap for fatherless children, families, churches, and communities.
Our mission is simple but powerful: We mobilize, support, and train men to model healthy masculinity in their homes, churches, and communities.
As many as 250 pastors and church leaders from across the Dominican Republic are expected to attend this two-day conference.
Following the conference, we will work alongside local churches to establish Patros Cohorts—small groups of men committed to growing spiritually, anchored in brotherhood, and living out their faith in practical ways. These cohorts are designed to create lasting transformation that extends far beyond a single weekend.
You Can Help Make It Happen
Every man who attends represents a family that can be strengthened, a church that can be encouraged, and a community that can be impacted.
The total cost of the conference is $10,000, or approximately $40 per participant. Your generosity helps provide:
-
Travel and transportation for the Man Up team
-
Conference materials and Patros curriculum
-
Lunch for every attendee
-
Translation and administrative support
-
Follow-up resources to launch Patros Cohorts throughout the country
A gift of just $40 sponsors one man to attend this life-changing conference.
When a man becomes a Patros, families are restored, churches are strengthened, and communities begin to flourish. As healthy, biblical masculinity takes root, the cycle of fatherlessness can be broken—one man, one family, and one generation at a time.
Thank you for partnering with us to raise up men who will stand in the gap and leave a lasting legacy in the Dominican Republic.
