A Word from Dee and Wilckly....

Dorce’ Ministries Update:



Dear Supporting Family,


The outpouring of blessings you have shared with Haiti has been amazing! Our lives in Haiti have been changed forever. You are making it possible, day by day, for us to continue helping the Haitian people. You are making it possible for us to meet their needs. We have had to do some crazy things and make some difficult decisions. You have stood beside us, prayed with us and for us, given donations, filled containers and so much more. We want you to know that our ministry is changing daily and we give God the glory for it. Here is just a sampling of the things your support has made possible:

* Purchased building materials, 2x4's, tin, plywood, nails, cement, sand, rock and gravel
* Covered our reservoir with concrete.
* Covered one house with tin and building more privacy fences and foundations for storage and gatherings.
* Bought 3 electric posts (25 ft. long) to begin running electric wire to bring light to the compound and help provide better security.
* Built a watch tower at the front gate for security at night and a staging area to receive people.
* Initially we were able to send cash to Port-au-Prince to help 40 families immediately after the earthquake.
* Now making regular trips into Port-au-Prince and other affected areas where we support churches and schools to bring food and water to the people.
* Bought tires for our vehicles to haul food and supplies for distributions.
* Gas to run the generator every day so we can charge the inverter and light up the yard for security every night.
* Feeding 60 to 100 people in our yard on a daily basis, our family, kids we are caring for, workers and their families, church people coming from the mountains and Port-au-Prince for help.
* We have shared tarps with many in need of shelter.
* We will be purchasing Bibles to share with those who were newly baptized into Christ.

Purchased two, empty, containers and put them in place on the land to receive the items coming in the other containers so that we can sort and store them until they can be distributed.

* Purchased two containers in the States, one 20ft and one 40ft, to send all the relief supplies to Haiti.
* Shipping costs to Miami, to Haiti, Customs in Haiti, Shipping and handling from St. Marc to Carries.

We’ve finally been able to contact the 15 churches we support and the administrators at the six schools we sponsor, and we are now assisting over 500 families spread out over a 50+ mile radius.



** And this important addition: We’ve seen several come to know Christ, and we’ve done several baptisms … ten just this past Sunday. Keep praying for revival in Haiti.



Thank you for all you have done and all you have given. We pray that God will continue to bless you richly as you continue to serve Him where ever you are. Please accept our heart felt appreciation and gratitude as we continue the battle together...the battle is the Lord's so don't lose heart as we work together to win the Haitian people to Christ, one soul at a time.



In His Service,

Wilckly and Dee

My name is Rob Rice and I am with Great Commission Air.
Joe Tebo just called me regarding your situation. We operate small aircraft to support ministries like yours and I will by flying a U206 from Florida in a few days to base in Santiago, DR. Its very possible for use to fly supplies from there (purchased there) to Port au Prince or an airstrip close to you (if there is one). Please call 734 846 4070 or email robert.rice@greatcommissionair.org
