December

A family has been selected for December. Please pray about helping us support this family for Christmas.

Our family consists of a Mother and two daughters. They currently do not have a car...the Mother is trying to save up to get something that runs, and will not be able to provide Christmas presents for her daughters. They will be with family for Christmas, so at this point we will not focus so much on food, but on other needs (please see below). I know this is a huge thing to ask...so I'll just say this....Let's pray that the Lord would provide a car for this family.

The Mother asked that we focus more on the needs of the girls, rather than on her. Her daughters are 7 yrs. old and 9 months old. Their needs are as follows:

7 year old: Wants to decorate her room: Twin Size bedding, Organizer Bins, Cute frames or things for the walls, A lamp, Cute rug, etc.  She is into Hannah Montana, iCarly, Beauty & the Beast, Cinderella. She has been asking for a Hoola-Hoop, a Train Set, Beauty & the Beast movie, a Barbie Car. She wears size 6 SLIM in clothes, and size 1 in shoes. Her favorite colors are purple and pink.

9 month old: Needs winter clothes. She wears size 18M in clothing, and size 4 in shoes. The Mother said she needs age appropriate toys. Another need might be diapers (size 4), and wipes.

Mother: She says she doesn't need anything but a pair of tennis shoes. I am suggesting a gift card for her.

Please let me know what you'd like to contribute by posting a comment below. I will post updated lists on this blog so that people will know what has been provided and what is still needed. You are welcome to provide items other than what is listed also. You can also contact me via email: dorcasministries@hotmail.com

Thank you all for your hearts to bless this family!

Deadline: Sun. Dec. 19th

November

We supported our first family in November. A single Mother with three children. The group and several women from church pulled together an enormous amount of food, necessities, and gifts for this family who was in great need. We took a list of all the things provided....and wish you all could see it. There were 3 Large boxes and lots of bags of goodies for them...it FILLED UP the back of their car. They didn't know where their Thanksgiving meal would come from...but the Lord had not forgotten them! He supplied their needs in abundance because He loves them. They were so blessed and so encouraged by all of you who came together to make this Thanksgiving a blessing to them in Jesus name! The Mother cried several times as her heart was moved by the kindness of these strangers to her...but really, it is the kindness of our Lord. I hope you are encouraged by this, and knowing that what you contributed was a seed planted in love, for our Savior. I pray we can all continue in these good works, making Jesus' name and love known to all those who are needy, and need Him! Please pray for this family...God knows who they are and what they need and will continue to pursue them and provide for them. We are thankful to have been a part of God's plan in their lives.

Starting Up

This is all new to us! But very exciting. We are inspired by the account of Dorcas in the book of Acts, Chapter 9. I pray you will read it and discover the character of Dorcas, and adopt it as your own, as you seek to serve Jesus and those He loves.
