Carmen is still in the hospital, awaiting surgery. “I don't know when that will be done,” said missionary Miguel, who is also still looking for someone to care for her while she is in the hospital in Santo Domingo. Food is not provided in hospitals in Hispaniola; it must be delivered by family or friends. When God used Climbing For Christ to save Gilbert Lendor in 2007, we hired three women to help from late August to mid-October. Missionary Miguel lives six hours from Santo Domingo in the Dominican border town of Jimani.

As with most things, a caretaker (or takers) will cost money. We have been blessed through Friday to have received donations of US$1,135 for the “Rescuing Carmen” operation and funds are being wired to Miguel in the Dominican Republic.
