Personal Needs
Some have asked what our monthly needs are in Palawan. So I thought it best to post that as well.
1) $500. a month in daily supplies and food (no special items, just the bare necessities).
2) $50. a month
for electrical service but not including the connection fees we do not have electric service as of yet. (see Home Sweet Home
Page)
3) $40. a month in personal transportation fees. We have no car or truck at this time. This doesn't include
special trips out of the city for ministry to tribal groups. but we have a motorcycle
4) $350 per semester for
Christian Schooling for D.G.
5) $200 a month for misc Medicines and unexpected expences.
The total of $810.
per month is the minimum that we would need to live. The more we have the better we will be able to minister. For example
the student ministry itself will have its own monthly needs, any additional to our monthly income will be given over to this
ministry, and also shared with Pastor Dante and his family.
Ministry Needs
Church needs a computer and printer $1200
$150 still needed to fix the photo copier
$8500 for a multi passenger van for Sunday and youth trips.
$30,000 to purchase a small lot on highway for the church.
$25 Monthly Electric Bill
$500 Need Filing cabinets, desks and chairs for sunday school
Used Clothing Needed
Now you can send new items as well. But what I do want to stress is please don't send wornout, severely torn, or broken shoes
or clothing. You know usable stuff only. Clothing and Items you are not using or don't need that would benefit the needy
in Palawan.
Now there are two ways to send packages to Palawan. 1)You can send the via the Post Office. But this will
cause all donations and gifts to go through customs and as a result we will be made to pay tax on your gift. ans 2) You can
send them via door to door package delivery service. This usually bypasses Customs because they are personal gift items and
they will be delivered directly to our home. Here are two different Package Services you can contact and use to ship to the
Philippines.
LBC Mabuhay 1-800-522-9507 ask for nearest location to you. They will ship 20X20X20 inch boxes for
around $80. they do ship smaller and some slightly larger ones (U-Haul size boxes).
Forex Cargo Inc. 1-888-367-3948
get nearest location. forex however does not ship anything larger than a 20X20X20 inch box.
they do provide a
limited pick up as part of their services but this may no be if you are located extremely far from the nearest location.
If
you choose to send via the Package Delivery Service please strap all boxes and tape them well. The handling is not the best.
Pack all boxes as tightly as possible.
Address them to: Chette and Tata Nichols 3162 Chrysanthemum Rd Purok Magkaisa, Sta Monica
Puerto Princesa City Palawan Philippines 5300 Also place these addresses on three sides of the box and include
this phone number on the labels. 0928 221 7364
Monetary gifts can be sent to: Calvary Chapel Lynchburg 742 Leesville Road Lynchburg VA 24502
Make memo that gift is for Chette Nichols Philippines
