In 2001, Mustard Seed Communities expanded its services to the Dominican Republic. The organization aimed to provide residential care to children with disabilities who had been abandoned. MSC acquired property in a small town called Cangrejo, located on the outskirts of Puerto Plata, and constructed a home named Hogar Immanuel.

In 2007, Mustard Seed Communities purchased an adjoining property to expand the home and meet the growing need to provide care to children and young adults with disabilities. Today, the fully developed property includes four cottages, a physiotherapy room, a chapel, and on-site mission volunteer housing. The expansion has doubled Mustard Seed’s capacity to care for children and young adults, enabling the organization to serve a more significant population of the most vulnerable children in the Dominican Republic. Currently, at total capacity, Hogar Immanuel provides loving care for 48 children and young adults with disabilities.
