The food and medical equipment were delivered yesterday afternoon.We had plenty of help unloading. I don't know how we got the X-Ray machine off without someone being hurt; I believe it weighs close to 1600 pounds. God knows our needs.
We will have a meeting with the pastors Saturday morning to start the distribution process. We anticipate a 4 month distribution to over 2,000 people in the porrest villages (550 families). This food will be a nutritional supplement to what they now eat.
The government sent an inspector out with the truck to check and make sure our operation was legitimate and that we weren't going to sell the food. All is clear.
Our next big problem is to keep the rats under control for 4 months. There has not been and food in the warehouse so there has not been a problem to this point.
Thank God for all that He does for the Dominicans.
The next project is to construct a small house at Monte Cristie to house new water treatment equipment and tanks. It will cost around $1,500 but visiting groups have already contributed $1,000 toward the construction. When complete, the entire village will have access to clean water for drinking. The foundation was started this week for the new water building which is next to the village clinic.
Please praise God with us and continue to pray that this Lord would use our brothers and sisters to continue to feed people physically, but also point them to the Bread of Life!
