About – Brothers Without Borders

Our Mission Statement

That every man, woman, and child will have the opportunity to see, hear, and respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ wherever we are called through the use of our God given talents to provide Emergency First Responders training, education and support for their communities.

Who We Are

Brothers Without Borders is a group of Emergency Services Personnel (Fire, EMS, Police, Military, Nursing) that travel to the Dominican Republic to share the Gospel with Dominican Emergency Services, and provide training and resources to the departments. We not only outreach the Dominican Emergency Services, we also are an outreach and support group for American Emergency Services Personnel (Fire/EMS/Police/Military/Nursing). Please use the links to learn more about our team and our outreach at home and abroad.

How We Got Started

Brothers Without Borders was founded by two men, Brandon Vizzi and Michael Parker. Brandon and Mike were both firefighters at Ellicott Creek Fire Company in Amherst, NY. One night after an officers meeting, Mike and Brandon met and talked about how they could create an outreach for emergency services abroad and at home in Western New York. After much prayer, God led them to Jeff Hackett, the Northeast Regional Director of Score International and a missionary to the Dominican Republic. The three of them had lunch together, and from that October day in 2011, Brothers Without Borders was born.
