Welcome to The Dorcas Projects

 Dorcas was a disciple of Joppa found in the Book of Acts (at 9:36-42) of the Bible. She was a dressmaker, who made clothes for the poor in her village.   My project begins with a question. “What are you going to make with this material”?    I worked in Fabrics and Crafts at Wal-Mart and when I cut fabric for my customers, I asked them that question. One customer was purchasing all the dollar material we had. Most was not pretty, but she purchased a yard of everything. So I asked the question “What are you going to make with this material”?), and she said she was going to make dresses to send overseas to Honduras. I thought, oh my, I could do that but I would make beautiful little dresses instead, not anything plain. So the seed was planted. 

  2008 Blog insert from Panama Jack- organizer Jack Farber of the Latin America Missions  A MODERN DAY DORCUS   One of our team members is Annie Massey Bland from Franklin, KY. This is her first trip. What’s special about her is that last year she sent 20 to 30 hand made dresses by the hands of one of our docs on last years team. The dresses were an instant hit as you can imagine. This year the doc could not came again, so he told her “I guess you’ll just have to TAKE them yourself.” That is just what she did, only she brought over 100 dresses and pants for children.
