The Cercadillo Project

Two couples from Minnesota, Brian and Ann Ferro and Terry and Jean Hayward, decided to spend their winter vacation helping in the DR with TIME Ministries.  One of their many projects was to make three cutting tables for our women in Cercadillo.

The taller tables were warmly received by the women who often spend several hours bent over a table cutting out the project of the day.

A team we often refer to as “The Chicago Sewing Ladies” just left this afternoon after being here for a week.  Their leader, Jacque Spencer, always comes with many marketable projects for our women to make.

During this past week the women of Cercadillo received instruction in beading, new variations on macrame bracelets, more ideas with crocheting and card making, and two new sewing projects.

MAYBE WELLS THIS WEEK?  I promise to post pics as soon as it happens!  Please keep praying!

The advisory team has initiated a fund raising campaign. Each of us support the mission of the Cercadillo Project and are asking you to be willing to do the same.  We are asking if you would be willing to commit to at least a dollar a month for the next three years to the work of the mission. We have prepared a little cardboard bank as a reminder of your support of the Cercadillo Project and would like to place one in your hands. If it is your desire to share this project with your friends, we have also include a brief informative letter along with the banks.

We encourage you to share these banks with your small group,  Sunday School class or someone you meet with on a regular basis. You could  even use these banks to teach your children how they can get involved  in missions.

As you have been reading the blog and newsletter, it is very evident  that God is doing a great work among the people in the village of  Cercadillo.   We, the advisory team, appreciate the hard work of Ina and all those who have come along side of her to serve there. We  appreciate all of  you who have contributed to this ministry, either  with a one time donation or with ongoing contributions.

This is a wonderful ministry in the Dominican Republic where lives are being changed.  You can request your bank(s) in any quantity from Dave Flumbaum by calling 410-375-1142 or email at dave@cercadillo.org or go to the  “contact us” page and leave a message.

If you want to make a contribution now go to the “contributions page” for donation options .
