Pastor Vic from CC Aventura Florida, just returned from the DR. He witnessed first hand the devestation and destruction that Noel brought to these people. The reports from him and another ministry in that area have told us that most of the relief effort containers are getting stopped by the government and are not being handed out to the people!
Pastor Vic's church has an ongoing ministry in the DR and they are working together to personally help out with the relief efforts. They are asking for several things from the Body of Christ!
First of all-pray for these people. As with all disasters such as this, people look for answers and God's people need to be on hand to help them with their physical needs so that they can have the opportunity to share Jesus' love and the message of Salvation with those in need. While in the DR this past weekend, his team was able to help out about 35 needy families with food, clothes and waterproof hip boots! But most importantly, 15 people came to know the Lord, praise God!!
Pastor Vic is planning a second trip down from December 1st-4th. He has rented a 12 passenger van to use on the trip and wants to have about 10 people to help him with this outreach. Currently there are 6 who have committed to this trip, so he could use 4 more. Not to discriminate, but men are preferred because of the sleeping conditions and locations won't facilitate separate quarters as we seek to be above reproach in all we do. Ladies, fear not, as there will be other trips planned in the future that will be more accommodating. If you are interested in a different trip, please let me know and I will gladly get you all the details!
Because of the problems associated with goods being shipped to the DR, they will be accepting monetary donations. They will personally go to the DR with 100% of these funds and purchase food, bedding, clothing, water, waterproof hip boots, etc and hand deliver them to different families in the flooded areas. As I mentioned, they already had an ongoing ministry in the DR. They will be working hand in hand with this ministry, which will also provide follow up discipleship for them after the relief teams have left.
All of your donations will be tax deductible.
Please visit the following website,
Guardian Themeset. There are links about the church in the DR as well as instructions with where to send your check.
Thank you so much for your prayers and generosity. Feel free to contact me or the CC Aventura if you need any more information.
We have also been talking with Be His Witness, a ministry of people who attend our church. They too have ongoing ministry in the DR and had already planned a trip in January. Their website is
Be His Witness ::. Feel free to check this website out as well. If you are interested in helping with vitamins for needy children in the world, they also have a major ministry that does this. Again, you can contact them or me for more information.
Proclaiming the Lord in all we do,
In season and out of season,
God Bless,
Curt and Mary Jo Hencye
