ID card, Agape Mission Center Foundation

Blessings of our Lord Jesus. I want to share with you that on thursday
of this week I met with our president in Santo Domingo for a strategy
planning at which time I was presented  with my license to work with
the foundation; Agape Ministries Center,AMC Foundation. He assured me
that the attorney had all appointments published in their national
newspaper ElDiario October of 2011 which can be accessed on the
internet.

What this means that I will have little or no hindrance in obtaining
information in this country and travel without much delay by both
their police and military. The Dominican Republic is a military police
state and there are road blocks only a few as 3 miles apart in the
rural areas especially towards it's border.

I am still awaiting for a certified copy of my birth papers to be able
to apply for residency.
In the city of San Pedro the people are very receptive to the gospel.
They allowed me to distribute religious pamphlets in the waiting room.
One pastor share a 15 minutes word to the waiting patients. I have
also been able to distribute Bibles to a few homeless families and at
a small church which i visit in this city.

The country will be having national election in March of this year,
please pray that the new president will continue to allow freedom of
the Gospel and reach out to the overwhelming poor. The country's
population is approximately 15  millions of that, about 3 millions are
Haitians many of whom are undocumented.

Please pray that God will send more relief to help the poor; and for
myself also that the commitments my sending church has made will be
realized in God's timing. Also pray for the water system here to
improve, the water is not good for consumption and electricity is
given randomly. God will be glorified. Cal

I also believe I can be of better assistance if I were living in the area, so I am praying that as God leads me, I will relocate there by February of next year, God's willing. Please give me your best prayer and for the people of the Bateye.

Thanks for your comments on the Bateye. One of the hightlight of the trip to me was the fact that my son Askia was with me and sees what it meant by mission.

The Haitians on these plantations are not "cheap labor", they are "free labor" under an indentured servitude "credit system" that they have no option other than to live under after arriving there. They are for the most part tricked into jobs there by "recruiters" that come to Haiti each month, two of which I know are here now. Two Domininican women named Nadine and Begina filling the heads of desperate young Haitians with beartiful dreams and promises of what they'll reap once they arrive in Santo Domingo.

I recently returned from the Dominican Republic on a mission trip with a group of five people. We spent most of the time serving people in an area called the "Bateye" which is located on a sugar plantation. The people live in Barracks and provide cheap labor to the plantation. Most of these people are Haitians undocumented, unskilled. They are poorer than the people of Haiti itself. NEEDS are Social, Medical, Education, Housing, Employment, it goes on.

Dominican Bateye Mission Successes

Many souls came to Christ over the period from June 29 through July 12. The below link shows the first child by the name of Alejandro. By many accounts, this mission can be called a success.

In addition to obeying God's commission (Matthew 28:16-20) to spread the Gospel, we were fortunate to be able to construct the first bathroom/shower on the Bateye. A few clips show the progression of the work. This project proved to bring the men of the Bateye together:

2011 Summer Mission Trip

Blessings on you and loved ones, for some of you, its been a long
time. I pray all is going well or getting better. As you receive this
info please lift your hands together with us and ask God grace and
mercies and blessings on the effort to walk in His will in going to
demonstrate bowels of compassion and love and to be a light that God
will receive the glory and praise.

Our next mission trip will take us to the Dominican Rep. in an area
called The Bateye. I have heard of it but visited there last year on
my way to Cuba. As we distribute food and share in prayer for about 60
people, one person ask to accept Christ as savior. Since then I have
been partnering with pastor Francis Alcegarire who have been working
with this group of plantation workers. Almost every week he reports
that people are giving their lives to God. The Bateye is about 60
miles from Santo Domingo where pastor Francis lives, gas is expensive
so we have fellowship with him a few times to help with the trip.

Presently, a number of the people are requesting to be baptised, 14 so
far and 2 couples would like to be married; they may be the only two
married people in this large community.

Many of these people are immigrants from Haiti but most were born in
the Dominican Rep. however the government of the DR do not recognize
them and do not issue birth certificate, so they are not able to go to
school.

We are starting an elementary school, church and a representative
center to help the people get some recognition.

On This Trip we hope to have a medical clinic, we can use medical supplies.

We plan to baptize at least 14 people and celebrate the Lord's meal with them.

We plan to unite two couples in marriage.

Needs: donated wedding dresses, new or used. must be shipped in the
month of May.

Needs: Sleeping Tents, Camping gears. Dry goods food

Some finance to help purchase material for basic school in Spanish and
to purchase other ancillary school items. Transportation cost.

We need your constant prayer before and while we are there and even
when we return.

Thanks for your prayer and previous support

Urgent Needs in Batey Atilano Numero Dos of Dominican Republic

Re: My Minitry in Batey in Dominican Republic
From: Calville Dunnon

Blessings of our Lord for another day to consider what He wants us to do. Pastor Francis Alcegaire provided us with some very good pictures of the Batey where we spent a short time but we continue to partner with him to give whatever assistance he can to these poor children and people. As you can see many here are children. Brother Garson also help, they travel together from Santo Domingo every week to give assistance and share Christ. Bro Garson is standing by the lunch sandwiches and drink.

From Dominican Republic


We need some help with the school we are proposing to start for the small children, and adult where possible. The shed is where the whole community meet to do anything. A retired lady from another walk to this area to conduct classes. Children sit bored most of the time, so when they are old enough they have children, not able to write read, they suffer from the same problem their grand and great grand suffered from. These children are not given the rights of citizenship, although they were born in the DR, they are considered illegal alien, recently, many were shipped back to Haiti where they know no one. We would also like to address this issue with the government.

We are planning to have a mission trip Early April, Join us in prayer for God's direction and blessings for resources. I have quite a bit of toys and children clothes but need monies to ship them. Blessings, pastor cal

Because God has opened our eyes to the great need of the poor, suffering from malaria, malnutrition, emphysema and other diseases we are planning a medical trip for Creve, Haiti. Towards the end of June, 2009. There are 4 Orphanages, a technical school, an elementary school and people from the surrounding community would stand to benefit. If you or someone you know who might be interested in lending a hand or to teach a class or to show compassion, we invite you to join us on this (W.A.T.C.H) world adventure Teaching Christ, Humanity.
medical doctors are also needed, and others, Rn's, etc. Computer skill, Academic teaching, Trade: Plumbing, Carpentry etc.
Medical inerns are required to give some community service, please invite them to participate on this or futre trips.
Each believer is responsile to answer the command of our Lord Jesus as is found in Matthew 28:19-20 going to teach Christ's character; and this is just an opportunity to do so.
The trip should cost about a thousand dolars, which would include air fare, room and board and transportation in Haitti. Two of the greatest highlites of the trip are to witness the Holy Spirit move in a visible way, healing and demonstrating praise; secndly, the food is great. some of the best i have had anywhere. Most importantly, You wil have had an opportnity to partcipate in the vision of Out of Every Nation and People: Rev. 5:9 blessings, cal dunnon

Haiti As It Is

Blessing for a new day. Please continue to pray for the survival of the children of Haiti, especially the infants living in Tents. Port Au Prince receive the greater amount of damage as was reported. 95 % or more of the damage buildings have not been touched since the earthquake. Many of the victims bodies are still trapped in those buildings. Starting with the government buildings, the Treasury etc. The stench is suffocating. About 15 miles outside the city of Port au Prince is the City of Kenscoff. Church of God of The Alliance has a mission of School and Orphanage. All the children are presently living in Tents.

Kenscoff is about 13 thousand ft above sea, which means it get cold in the evening and morning. Its now their rainy season, which makes the temperature cooler than normal. I just sent thousand US dollars to them on tuesday after my arrival. The need is tremendous and will be there for a while.

We are so thankful for your generous support, you have made a difference in the lives of many people.

I met with the president of the Baptist Mission, they have a number of the victim of the earthquake in their small hospital. we visited and prayed with a number of the victims and gave small amount of monies to help buy food. We spent a day doing evangelism and praying for many, most of whom are christian and fellowship with them with monies. I met with the head of the senior citizen and gave them much of the medicine I brought and some monies to help their funds. Haiti is about 95% or more unemployed at this time.

There is no school in session at this time from Kindergarten to University. It is very difficult for the young people who has only one year to complete their requirements. The airport is badly damage, the cargo area is now the port of entry. The airport is braced with steel plate as you leave. Both commercial and military planes are using the same runway and docking, very fragile since you are wlking among people with machine guns.

The UN has time when they issue tickets for food to individuals. People fight so much that some leave with broken limps. Situation is desperate, no jobs, no housing, no direction being given. Please continue to pray and support Haiti.

We have made some pledges to help build the school and Orphanage, your continued support will make it possible. We are partnering with a group from Alabama, name Project K.I.D Promoting resilience for youth in disasters. Headed by Paige Ellison-Smith M.Ed.

They were hired by UN. Also another group called Children Forum, headed by Phyllis Kalifeh. located in Tallahassee, Fl We are paying for counselors to work with the children for 5 days per week. Our cost is $80.US per week.

Plus we also Provide $250.US per week for food and staffing overnight, cooking and care for 40 children at this site. We need your support here.

Paige can be reached at http://us.mc362.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=paiget2@msn.com and Phyllis at pkalifeh@thechildrensforum.com

Lets help make something positive happened for the Lord. James 1:27 I will attached the last pic of a widow who lost her husband and two children and brother from the church, we gave her a few dollars and prayed with her.
