Special Report: Chaplaincy Commission
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC — If you have been reading the news, you know the Dominican Republic was hit recently with a devastating hurricane. Our chaplaincy coordinator for the Caribbean, Chaplain Ismael Ponce, sends this report:
“I just received a report from Dr. Elvis Medina concerning the damage in the Dominican Republic. He tells me there are over 85 official deaths, 6,000 evacuated and 20,000 left homeless. The numbers change every day. There are some 135 communities with no access for vehicles. The only way to get to them with food, medicine and water is by helicopter. Chaplain Luis Velazquez, one of our law enforcement chaplains, is coordinating our chaplains’ activities. We are attempting to develop chaplaincy teams out of Puerto Rico to give assistance in this endeavor.”
