Raising Funds for Dental Drill in Dominican Republic (UPDATED)

One of the needs we have found in the Dominican Republic during our work in the villages is the need for dental care. A dentist we work with donates her time to offer free care, but the DR government no longer provides portable drills. We are seeking to raise the money to purchase such a drill. We are currently $500 short of our goal of $1500. If this is something you would like to donate to, please place your gift in a pew or tithing envelope, mark it DR Drill, and place it in the offering plate.

Update: Thanks to the generosity of our church family, we now have the full $1500 to fund the portable dentist drill for the Dominican Republic. Thank you for responding to this need!
