A Word from Dee Dorce'.......

It is good to be home in Haiti and settling into a routine. My Sunday morning routine has changed a little. Trying to get four kids ready and out the door to church is enough to keep one on their toes. Fortunately , Crash is here to help and grandma Reta too. Ashley is pretty good help too. Last Sunday as I was doing the normal and getting everyone ready, diaper bags packed, food, water, cooking oil, charcoal, and cooler of ice in place, Pastor Quene was asking for me.

I stopped what I was doing and went to talk to him. He shared that he had met a woman on a tap-tap the day before and had shared Jesus with her. She decided she wanted Christ in her life and asked if she could be baptized. Pastor Quene told her to meet him on the beach Sunday morning and he would baptize her. Praise the Lord, she showed up. It was pretty exciting that before even going to church I was able to go down to the ocean with Pastor Quene, this lady and her husband and son and my children and witness as she became a new babe in Christ. We were doing some great rejoicing with the angels that morning. Join us in rejoicing that we have people like Pastor Quene on staff who are really living out their lives as a true Christian. They are working for Christ around the clock.

Rejoice with me also that in nine months of my absence that Bioude’s two daughters, Mikerlange and Tika, kept teaching Sunday school and teaching Sunday school and teaching Sunday school!!! This may not seem like much to you but it is huge for me. I sometimes leave and they attempt to do it but if I am not there to keep encouraging them to stick with it, they drop the ball. I am especially impressed with these two young women and their willingness to stick with it for the nine months I have been gone. Progress is slow but the Lord continues to bless. Pray for these young ladies as they grow in their walk with the Lord.

Another Sunday school class was added for high school age kids in my absence. I am thrilled about this as we, in the past, have not had anyone willing to take the challenge. I couldn’t do justice to them while working with the younger children so they have been left out. Pray for this new area of the ministry and for the one who has taken the challenge to make the class happen.

Please pray for more serious, trustworthy Haitian workers that can enter into our growing mission administration. The devil is constantly on the prowl, waiting to devour us at every turn. Pray for us that we would have strength, courage, physical stamina and wisdom to face each new day and situation. We really do desire your prayers. We appreciate your every thought and prayer for us. We appreciate your faithfulness in supporting the mission work in Haiti with your tithes and offerings. We thank you for giving until it hurts and we thank you for giving in your abundance.

In Christ,

Wilckly, Dee, Ashley, Kelsey, Lonia and Josiah
