Charities We Love
Citadel Square Church | Missions
A verse-by-verse Bible teaching church in downtown Charleston, committed to discipleship, raising the next generation, and sharing the gospel locally and globally. We love sponsoring people to go on mission trips to share the love of God with others.
This year, we are partnering with our global partners at Covenant Church to serve in Khon Kaen, Thailand. During our time there, we will serve the staff, encourage believers, and participate in community outreach and service projects. This trip is centered solely on serving others—not a vacation. While I am there, my desire is to equip others with biblical principles for wise financial stewardship and to encourage deep, loving relationships with God and others through Christ Jesus.
Citadel Square Church has graciously covered the cost. However, each of us has committed to raising support. This is my personal commitment link: https://citadelsquare.managedmissions.com/MyTrip/dustinlaporte1
Your contributions are tax-deductible gifts to Citadel Square Church—not to me personally; Thus, they are NOT refundable, even if I am unable to attend.
Girl Scouts
We need champions like you to support our local chapters—people who encourage these young girls and help them see what’s possible. We believe strongly in investing in the next generation of female leaders. For nearly a decade, Dustin has served as an elected member of the Board of Directors in several roles, including Second Vice Chair, Chair of the Investment Subcommittee, and Treasurer.
The Gideons International
Since 1899, this ministry has helped fund the distribution of free Bibles worldwide. When I received a free Bible as a college student, reading it changed my life and continues to do so. Now I purchase Bibles to give out freely to others. A case of 100 ESV New Testaments purchased from The Gideons International, as a member, costs $205. Here in Charleston, I have the opportunity to place God’s Word into the hands of people who come here from around the world.

On the Rock Ministries
We support this ministry because it powerfully shows how the Gospel can transform lives. Through prison outreach, discipleship, and testimony, On The Rock Ministries brings hope to those who are incarcerated and helps break cycles of addiction, crime, and despair by pointing people to the redeeming grace of Jesus Christ.
Hope to Home Furniture Resource
Their mission is to deliver essential home furnishings to displaced or homeless individuals and families who secure housing. Together, we help transform their empty living space into a comfortable “home”.
Seacoast Church | Men's Hike
One of the most powerful, life-changing ministries is the Men’s Hike. It’s incredible what God can do in a man’s heart when he takes time to unplug, get away, and reconnect with Him. Even if someone has never hiked or camped before, camping gear is shared, and regular training and preparation meetings help men hit the trail ready for both adventure and growth.
We love helping provide scholarships so more men can participate. If you would like to help, please make your check payable to:
