What We Do

Updated August 2011

The earthquake of January 2010 changed everything. Through the gifts of many donors the lives of 300 people were saved; our destroyed school was relocated and has now been transformed into a center that serves as an orphanage, school, church, community center, and medical clinic. It is because of the hand of God working through your generous support that we have all made it through this past harrowing year.

Just before Christmas (2010) we received word that Helping for Christ Victory Center was awarded a “Certificate of Excellence” from the Haitian Department of Social Affairs for having one of the best orphanages in the Port Au Prince area and for the life saving actions of Pastor Dicksent and his team during the earthquake. They were also recognized for their actions during the hurricane, allowing 50 people to take refuge at the Center, saving them from drowning. Furthermore, they were showcased for using their Center to filter water and give medical attention to the people in the local neighborhood preventing many in their immediate area from succumbing to the cholera outbreak. This all was done without any government program or assistance from the United Nations.

Helping for Christ Victory Center continues to provide a home, education, and daily care for 60 children and the 20 adult staff members. Dicksent continues to evangelize, sharing the Gospel with many and leading worship services on Sundays for the children and staff along with members of the community.

The Word of God is alive at Helping for Christ Victory Center as the children are learning to trust God for provision, one day at a time. God has been gracious and His care for the children is unmistakable. Your donations continue to provide the life support system for all residents at the Center, ongoing proof that they are loved and not forgotten by God or by any of us.
