Dear Friends in Christ,
Dear Friends in Christ,
Greetings in Christ once again from the Dominican Republic. We are in full swing with the first of our eleven work teams coming from the United States to work on our camp project. We have a team here right now from the Erie Christian Church in Erie, IL. They brought 28 people and have been working hard on the footing for the medical / dental clinic that will be built this year, Lord willing. We are also plastering the dormitories and plan to finish plastering and painting all the buildings this summer.
We are also in the middle of building a maintenance shed and a "snack" shop for the camp. As you can see, we're pretty busy with this project!
One of the real needs that we have on this project is a good diesel generator, big enough for the camp project for several years to come. We have an opportunity to buy a 35KV Detroit Diesel generator that only has 900 hours use. This size generator should last for a number of years nd should be big enough to suppply power for the foreseeable future.
This generator new would be close to $20,000 but we are able to get the used one for $8,000! The price is excellent and we hope and pray that we'' be able to purchase it. Please find enclosed an envelope that you can use with your generous gift! Thanks for you help with this special project!
Our family is well. Emily arrived from her first year at college on June 4. She did very well in school and really enjoyed college life! Laurie is one of 25 students from the Dominican Republic that will go to Washington, DC on July 4 - 12 to participate in the Young Leaders Summit. There will be high school students from all over the world there working and learning about government. She's really excited about the trip. Suzanne is in the final week of her graduate classes -- she's been in classes from 8-5 for 10 days, so she is looking forward to the end of this session. I've been buzzing arournd the island keeping the teams busy and well supplied for their work.
Thanks again for your help with the generator for
Camp! We appreciate your support and love.
In Christ,
Rick York
