Chandler Schramm Joins Charlotte Christian For Mission Trip To Dominican Republic

Dear friends and family,

I want to share with you a ministry opportunity God has presented to me. During June 11-18, I will be going to the Dominican Republic with a team from my school, Charlotte Christian School.

Our trip will focus on playing with, and ministering to, children in orphanages and who live in poverty. We will do this in a number of ways, but primarily we will spend time getting to know them, and then hosting a “vacation bible school” experience for the kids. If we raise enough money, we will also use the opportunity to feed an entire village in the name of Jesus! The purpose of our trip is fourfold:

• First, we will be allowing God to work in our lives through the personal enrichment that comes from this type of a mission trip.
• Second, we will pray for the people of the DR, that God may open their eyes and hearts to the message of Jesus.
• Third, we will be visiting many of the children we visited last year, so that Charlotte Christian School can continue to develop a presence in the DR on these yearly trips.
• Fourth, we will encourage local Christians and missionaries in the DR. Our presence will bolster their spirits and support their work through SCORE International.

I'm excited about the opportunity and experience that lie ahead. I hope you see the value in what we will accomplish. I need your prayer support. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God's leading in ministry in the DR. Without prayer, nothing will happen.

Thank you for your support and prayers!

Chandler Schramm

PS We had an amazing yard sale with items donated by us, our friends, and our families, and raised $6500!!!!! We will be able to help feed, not only one, but 2-3 villages with this money!
