| We were asked by
Score International, a
mission organization based in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, to come and help build an orphanage in
San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic. Score International was
founded by Ron Bishop,
who grew up in Blacksburg,
South Carolina. We will have the privilege of working with a
missionary couple out of the First Baptist of
Elkhart, Indiana, Tim
and Ginny Craiger
The footings were in when we arrived along with two courses of block and we went up with the walls, installed the plumbing and electrical rough in and poured the floor on one of the buildings. We were housed at Score International’s housing complex, Score Hotel, which is located just a few miles from where we were working, The facility was spacious and clean with dorm rooms, kitchen, dining and meeting rooms.
This was a trip of great importance to the ministry of Score International and Carpenters for Christ alike. Much was accomplished toward the goal of Score International at this facility which includes a church, which is already completed and in use, 2 dormitory units, a school and a baseball diamond on their 3 1/2 acres of property .
