PRAY NOW – December

Dec 1, 2022 | Pray

What a year 2022 has been for us here at DCC! We have had unexpected challenges, victories, disappointments, and successes. As we prepare for what God has planned for us in 2023, we believe that NOW, more than ever, we need to be people of prayer. Please take a moment to read how God has answered your prayers and give Him praise! We invite you to pray for the exciting opportunities and challenges ahead.

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! (Psalm 66:20 NIV)

You Prayed…God Answered!

STUDENT SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Over the past several weeks we have witnessed numerous testimonies of the Holy Spirit’s work in the lives of our students. We have asked you to pray for the spiritual growth of those men and women who God has brought to DCC, and those prayers are being answered! Thank you for praying for our students, and we would ask you to continue those prayers.

DCC FAMILY CONCERNS

While the past several months have been extremely difficult for the DCC community, we praise God for the assurance of eternal life as we have said goodbye to loved ones closely connected with the College. We experienced very moving celebration of life services for both Mark and Caroline Worley. Your prayers have sustained and encouraged us through this challenging season, and we are grateful to you for your condolences and words of encouragement.
