In Acts 9:36, we read about a faithful Christian woman named Dorcas. It\u2019s pretty special that Dorcas is mentioned in the Bible and that millions of people have read about her over the centuries. Was Dorcas known for performing spectacular miracles? Maybe she converted many people to the Lord? Nope! Dorcas is remembered for something much simpler \u2014 she was a woman who \u201cabounded with deeds of kindness and charity.\u201d In simple terms, she made clothing to bless those in need (Acts 9:39).<\/p>\r\n

Cambodia Christian Ministries has been blessed with a number of Christian women who could be nicknamed \u201cDorcas\u201d. Linda Rainey is one of them. Dorcas \u2014 I mean Linda \u2014 is a member of the Mesquite Church of Christ. She has been a modern-day Dorcas to the Jesus Children by making hundreds of pieces of clothing to be carried to Cambodia for the children.<\/p>\r\n

Linda is not the only Dorcas at the Mesquite church. Several women there make clothing and other items for the children. Over the years, faithful women from other churches have also provided handmade items for the Jesus Children.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Dorcas provides a great lesson for all Christians. We don\u2019t need a big title, fame, or recognition to be important in the eyes of the Lord. We simply need to do what we can. It may be a lot, or it may be a little. But every act of generous love matters to God and can make a lasting difference in the lives of others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

So, be a Dorcas today!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

And if you\u2019re a man\u2026well, I guess your name is Dork.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
