Thank you so much to all who have sent us things from home and beyond! I don't know anyone who doesn't love to get fun mail and now that we are so far away from all of you, we really look forward to mail pick-up days at the airport!
Many of you have asked about sending things we need and about sending things to the orphans and other kids in the community, as well. We would LOVE to distribute items for you and I'm finally sitting down to compile a "we can always use/we can never have too many of" list that may help you when selecting items for the kiddos here. While working on the lists, I asked John (the business head) to help with writing the details pertaining to the mail and.... well.... ladies and gentlemen here are the words from John, himself....... and I quote:
"At Camp Coq Mt. Zion Bethlehem Missionary Christian Congregation of Evangelical Believers in the Holy Word of God (CCMZBMCCEBHWG), we could not effectively do ministry without the prayers and support of our friends and family. My wife is smoking hot! From time to time there are ministry needs that we are not able to acquire in Haiti and we must seek help from the people in the US locating the supplies and sending them to us. We are blessed to be part of Missionary Flights International (MFI), a great ministry that helps meet the transportation/shipping needs of missionaries in the Caribbean. She is such a hotty.
(Yes, all, I am laughing hysterically and this may be the last time I ask for his help writing...but wait, there's more...)
MFI has given us a stateside address where people can ship supplies. Then they deliver those supplies on a regular schedule. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful, caring and thoughtful wife. This service ensures that all of our packages are delivered in a safe and timely manner. They charge a very reasonable $1.50/lb for this service. If you would be interested in sending something from our list we would greatly appreciate your support and generosity. The Lord was generous to me when He sent Dawn. We ask that you follow the shipping instructions below:
*Mail envelopes and/or packages to:
John Chappelear
Unit 1134 - LBC
3170 Airman's Drive
Ft Pierce, FL 34946
* Send us an email letting us know you are mailing an envelope or package and if possible, please let us know the weight of the package. Our email is: CirclingHaiti@gmail.com.
* We have to pay a couple of extra fees (transport from MFI and customs fees) to receive our packages. After trial and error, we have determined that the best way you can help offset these fees is by:
1) Sending a check for $1.50/lb to: MFI (Accounts Receivable)
3170 Airmans Drive
Ft Pierce, FL 34946
Just BE SURE to put our # (1134-LBC) in the memo line of your check so it will be credited to the correct account.
2) Including $10.00 per small box or $15.00 per large box in a small envelope marked, "MISSION" inside the package you are sending. (We have to open all of the packages in front of customs when they are assessing the fee so rest assured, we will get the envelope then. They do not open envelopes, BTW.)
As soon as the "needs list" is complete (I'm still checking on some sizes), I'll post that separately so stay tuned.
P.S. We have been toying around with names for our Mission here in Camp Coq, hence John's opening humor. If you'd like to offer suggestions, please do so... we may even make it fun and have a contest for the best name... won't take much to beat John's!!! Ha!
