Chariots of Cielo

A new ministry has been born out of our vision to provide custom fit therapeutic wheelchairs to the thousands of children born with severe physical impairment. This manufacturing and distribution center is now located on the lower floor of the Medical Center.

There are nearly 100,000 people (mostly children) in the Dominican Republic alone who are in need of specialized wheelchairs to improve their quality of life, and mobility. Children born with disabilities in impoverished countries are often carried throughout their adolescent years. Void of proper positioning, they lack potential development in muscles, nutrition and learning.

We have established partnerships with American and Dominican companies and organizations to serve children with disabilities. Each chair that is produced and fitted brings a dramatic impact to a child — and their families. Our hope is that such families receive a blessing of renewed life and help each child with a disability become engaged in their world.
