Tom & Connie Chapman (with son, David)
Our 6 nights in Antofagasta where spent with the Tom and Connie Chapman family. The Chapmans have been missionaries to Chile for 13 years (2 yrs. in Santiago & 11 years in Antofagasta). They have 5 children (youngest is currently at BJU).
The Chapmans were a great help in the following ways:
-Allowing us to stay with them (hosting us).
-Driving us around each section of the 11 mile long city (for pictures and information). Tom was helpful in his "running commentary" about culture, implications for ministry and the interworkings of the city.
-Giving me a better sense of the cost of living expenses in the North (compared to the capital).
-Observing them in ministry (attending 2 church services).

________________
Their whole family is extreamly musical. Tom graduated from BJU with a music degree and studied under Frank Garlock himself. Their son David studied classical guitar from a well known Chilean here in Antofagasta for many years. He just graduated from BJU this past Dec. and has several recordings of his own.
I highly recommend David's recent recording called "Sun of My Soul". Along with Brian Pinner, David plays sacred songs on classical guitar. David is currently working on another project with Tim Fisher that will be coming out later. David and his other brother Tim Chapman, have recorded several CDs with the Steve Pettit group (produced by Heart Productions).
David is currently dating Kristen Alexander (mk from Brazil) who is also a great musician and has several CDs in English, Spanish, and currently working on one in Portugese.
