URGENT NEED for La Victoria Prison - Dominican Republic
November 3, 2007
We have just learned that the
prison at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was hit hard by Hurricane
Noel. Five feet of rain was dropped on the prison, covering all
doorways and windows and flooding out the fourteen “tent” congregations
there. The inmates scrambled to the roof for safety. Several inmates
tried to jump into the water to escape prison. As we were talking with
Tony, our interpreter, the SWAT team came into the area and began
shooting at the prisoners. Amid gunshots, Tony asked us to please help
with bottled water to drink and charcoal to use as fuel to keep warm.
They are planning to cook out-side the prison and bring in the food to
the inmates.
Can you come alongside MOTE and
ANDIP (Asociacion Racional de Iglesias Penintenciarias) with our local
pastors in the Dominican Republic with a financial support? The need is
urgent!
$100 Will replace a tarp (need
14, one for each church inside the prison)
$50 Will help replace Bibles and
materials for each of the 14 churches inside the prison (need 80 to 100
Bibles for each church)
$25 Will help with water to drink
and charcoal for each church
Please help today! Send your
donation to MOTE at P.O. Box 27645, San Diego, CA 92128 or credit card
through our MOTE website,
