You Prayed…God Answered!

NOW CAPITAL CAMPAIGN-worley student life center
The NOW Campaign continues to move forward with plans for increased Scholarships and Facilities initiatives, including the Worley Student Life Center. Pray that God would provide the necessary funds to finish the Scholarship initiatives of the NOW Campaign to that we can move forward with the Facilities initiatives.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES AND PROGRAMS
Ask the Lord to continue to bring opportunities for DCC to expand its impact through new and existing programs and partnerships, provide the resources (financial, personnel, physical, technological) to launch and sustain them, and give leadership the wisdom to prioritize and execute these new initiatives. Pray that DCC can play a role in bringing the Word of God to the nations, especially the unengaged and unreached peoples of the world.
SPIRITUAL FORMATION & GROWTH
Pray that God would continue to work through the Rooted and Thrive Experiences to bring about spiritual transformation in each student and employee. Pray for a revival to take place on the DCC campus as we seek to honor God above all things! Continue to pray for those students who have a desire to be here at DCC but are struggling financially, academically and/or spiritually.
BUDGET AND PERSONNEL DECISIONS
Continue to pray for wisdom and clear direction as President Smith and the DCC Cabinet consider future financial decisions as part of the NOW Capital Campaign. Pray for guidance on the timing for the Worley Student Life Center renovations. Pray that the Lord would lead us to the right employees, volunteers, Board members, donors, and strategic partners to fulfill and accelerate DCC’s mission and vision.
