As the time is getting closer for us to leave for the Dominican
Republic,we are really getting antsy.
The Group (Fundacion Samaritano) whom we will be working with in the Dominican
has gone out of their way to help us in so many ways.
A large shipping container of school equipment was donated and we
have been given some room in the box for some stuff. Now we have to
figure out very quickly what we really need down there that can go now!
I'm sending art supplies and my bike, Sandy has rounded up some sewing
supplies, fabric and first aid stuff, books, kitchen stuff as well as
a camp stove and lantern (as the electricity is very undependable).
Along with numerous donated items for us to take.
Elio Madonia has received a donation, and has found a small 4-Wheel
drive Suzuki for our use. A friend of his is providing an apartment for
our first three months, and a lady (from Switzerland no less) has
donated money to furnish the apartment. The scope of impact our
decision is having is continually stunning us, and we are overwhelmed by
the warm support we have received from family, friends and also complete
strangers.
Thank You To All who have become involved in supporting us with prayer,
funding and verbal encouragement, it really means a lot as we enter this
unfamiliar and adventurous stage of our lives.
Please continue to pray for us...

Yours in Christ
Sandy and Dave Chapman
