What is your personal vision statement or life scripture?

Psalm 121:1 – I look to the mountains, where does my help come from, my help comes from the Lord, maker of Heaven and Earth.

Romans 12:1-2 – Therefore, I urge you brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship.

What excites you most about what God is doing through DCPI around the world?

“I am excited by the impact that we can have on equipping leaders to plant healthy and dynamic local congregations which are the most efficient tool for evangelism and discipleship.
