Bro. Moats’
No tes
Dear Friends and Family in Christ,
April is already here and it is time
to celebrate Easter once again. I
hope that when you think about
Easter, that joy begins to well up
in your soul as you think about
the resurrection of our Lord. I
pray that your heart begins to
swell with praise for Jesus’ substitution for mankind on the cross. I
pray that you fill up with thanksgiving as you consider the marvelous gift of grace that belongs
to all believers because of the
great love of God. And, I hope
that you will be able to join us in
celebrating the resurrection of Jesus at church, not just on Easter
Sunday, but every Sunday the
Lord gives you life and health.
Please continue to pray for our
search committee as they comb
through the resumes that we have
received. There are many good
looking resumes, so please pray
for God to clearly show our committee who is the best man for
this church. Pray for a man who
will disciple our students to become healthy, functioning members of church. Then, wherever
God leads them later in life, they
will be a blessing to their church
and will help grow the Kingdom of
God. I thank you for your prayers
to this end.
For God’s Glory,
Bro Jeff

YOUTH CAMP
TRAIL LIFE USA
With recent changes in the
structure and values of Boy
Scouts of America, DABC is
proud to become the host
of a new Bible-based scouting type initiative known as Trail Life USA. Trail
Life USA is a Christian adventure, character, and
leadership program for young men. The K-12
program centers on outdoor experiences that
build a young man’s skills and allow him to grow
on a personal level and as a role model and
leader for his peers. Living the Trail Life is a journey established on timeless values derived from
the Bible. If you are interested in knowing more
about this program, its values and principles, or
if you would like to become involved please
contact Bro. Kevin or Troy Bohall.
