Ministry Location: Dominican Republic, Latin America & the Caribbean
Ministry Focus: David is the Sponsorship Coordinator at Servant’s Heart Ministries (SHM) for the “Hugs for Kids” program.
In the village of Esperanza:
Because of assistance from a group at Runnymede Community Church, Dave and Sandy are able to help Joseph Ivoidieu with his Christian School for Adults. Joseph is teaching first and second grade classes in Spanish for adults three evenings a week to about 30 mature students. They are now doing grade two...and yes math is one of the subjects (according to Sandy I should be taking that class)
Prayer Needs
For Servant's Heart DR
Recently a number of other mission schools have closed in our area. This year our own enrollment is so high we were forced to turn some kids away. We need prayer that God will allow us to meet the needs of the community.
Please pray that God will be our focus and direct our steps especially in the community of Loma de Los Chivos. That His Spirit would move in the Women’s bible study and new children’s programs.
That God will give us a good rapport with local brothers and sisters in Christ.
For Sandy and Dave:
As we begin a new chapter in the DR as Global Workers with the PAOC we want to make sure that God will be our focus and strength. That we will keep our eyes on Him.
As Sandy and I work closer (in proximity) that God would guide the relationship transition.
For Esperanza:
Remember the village of Esperanza and especially our brothers and sisters in Christ living out their faith in a really tough environment in all ways -Spiritually, physically, economically….
For Claire Hodgson: strength, energy, health and encouragement.
For Joseph Ivoidieu and his family: encouragement, that God would bless his work in the village and good health for Joseph’s daughter Yuberki.
We are in the final process of becoming Global Workers with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. We do need your continued support both spiritually and financially. Visit Dave’s bio page https://paoc.org/donate/DavidChapman
If you currently support Dave automatically on a monthly basis through the PAOC nothing will change.

Update: Sandy's First Month:
Hotter than Toronto's Summer 2016, and humid. So wet--I might as well be swimming! Which I was, 3 times a day for the first two weeks. That was nice. Finally begun to cool off, sometimes below 28C, wow. Trying to make a house into a home (after 3 years as a one-man hovel) lol. Of course, the best part is being with the one man--every day! Love my Davey!! My part-time job with Servant's Heart Ministries is slowly being defined, starting with "Special Projects" two days a week, which I will provide info on shortly. Spanish lessons needed badly. Prayers needed desperately.
As well as his duties as Sponsorship Coordinator, Dave continues to make use of his background in art and graphics to help create mission visuals and promotional material and assists wherever help is needed. Dave is also using his love for art to engage “Hugs Kids” with art classes and special projects.
