Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 NIV
David and his team arrived safely home earlier today. It was a long trip as both their flights were delayed. They left the Dominican Republic at 4 am and arrived in Rochester about 1 pm this afternoon. All were very tired as they had not slept in over 30 hours.
All the members of the team were amazed at everything God did during their trip. David said his faith was certainly strengthened by seeing God work in such amazing ways during this past week. They all have many stories to share.
The team collected a tremendous amount of information that will need to be organized and discussed in order to determine the next steps for Camp Victory and its people. We will be working on this over the next several days. David will also be following up with many of the contacts he made during the trip to ensure the work the team began this past week does not come to a halt. David is working with World Vision to provide food for the children that are attending the Helping for Christ school at the camp. In addition to Pastor D. and the 300 people at Camp Victory, there are two other camps in the same area where another 500 or so people are living. The children at these other camps are also attending school at the Helping for Christ school. David is working with World Vision to secure food for all the children at the school. World Vision has also said they can offer assistance with applying to the World Food Program to get food for the adults at Camp Victory.
Please pray for wisdom and guidance as we begin the process of making plans for the future care of Pastor D. and everyone at Camp Victory. Thank you so much for all of your support. We truly appreciate it. Please know that all the donations we have received since the earthquake struck have, without a doubt, helped saved the lives of the people in Camp Victory. Thank you again for your support.
