House Hunters Moldovan Style

We were staying with a friend that had an apartment that could not accomodate all of the kids. So, through our friend, Maya in Atlanta, she made contact with someone that she knew that hosts American missionary teams. This family (Victor Belaug) had a loft style apartment that we could rent until we leave for the US. We moved in last Sunday (Dec 30th) after picking up the 3 children at their orphanages. The family that has this apartment, has worked with Matt & Tricia (missionaries from the USA) and visited the US two years ago and visited with Randy & Valerie Hall (Birmingham-Reaching Orphans with Hope) as well. Isn't God amazing. We haven't had too much free time since all of the children are with us throught the day. So, we will try to update the blog in a few days. If you would like to contact us at our new apartment, the number is 011-373-22-46-20-62. They are currently hosting a team from Nashville, so if you call, let them know you're trying to reach the Chapman's. As a side note, they all speak English and Rylan has become best buddies with their son Mark that has a lot of Legos. Thanks again for keeping us in your prayers. The Chapman's

Hey Guys!
Happy New Year! We are keeping up with the progress. Praise God for His provision of a place to stay. It is so obvious that He is never unaware of our circumstances. We will pray for quick passage, and for paperwork. Blessings,
Chris and Vickie
