Dorcas Women's Group
// Rachel DeTellis
The words “always doing good and helping the poor” are used in Acts 9:36 to describe Dorcas.
The Dorcas Women’s Group in our Leogane church is seeking to be like Dorcas as they follow Jesus. The group meets at the church on Mondays for Bible study and on Thursdays in homes for prayer. God has given them a sensitive heart to reach the lost and needy. They help and serve the Lord through evangelism as well as home and hospital visitation. In the church, they lead worship every other Sunday and provide food for everyone there once a month. Since last year, the group has grown from 15 to 56 women. Their lives of service, love, and faith have motivated more women to join.
Home meetings each week are also important to the women as they take time to pray and worship.
Together, they exercised their faith fervently praying for a member, Babylourdes Paul, who had been unable to conceive. Doctors had also told her she would not have a child. The women began praying and believing God for her and in time, she conceived and had a son. Their exemplary faith in God is clearly being shown through their loving acts of service and kindness...just like Dorcas. ~Rachel DeTellis
