By God's grace one family of DSC is getting ready to uproot their lives to go and plant churches in North Africa on January 1, 2014. Another family from Redemption Church is scheduled to depart January 2015. We, the body of DSC, must dig in to send them out to reach the unreached for Christ.

How can you dig in this spring?

SPRING for SNAP: This is a season of increased awareness, prayer, and fund raising in our Countdown to Sunrise. This spring, March 20 (286 days left till Sunrise) through June 20 (193 days left till Sunrise), Community Groups are working their creative juices in order to Share, Pray, Raise Funds, INvest, and Give to SNAP.

Here are some possible ideas for you and your community group: community wide ping pong tournament, garage sales, old cell phone collection, frequent flyer exchange system, etc. To get started on one of these or another idea, please contact Melody Shaddix.

For more information about SNAP, please visit the SNAP webpage.

14% of the 43,000 pregnancies in New Mexico end in abortion each year, but last year God used Care Net Pregnancy Centers of Albuquerque to change 471 minds away from abortion to life. We are partnering with Care Net again this year to support their efforts to provide counseling and practical help for their 5,000 annual clients who find themselves with an unplanned pregnancy. Please take a baby bottle home and fill it with change through the weeks between Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 12) and Father’s Day (Sunday, June 16). For more information, please contact Kayla Hembree at 505.797.8700.

Our missionaries, The Barreras, are taking a furlough from Guatemala. Help our team headed to Cheyenne, WY in late May by making donations designated to "Barrera's Home" through a missions envelope or at giving page. For more information, please email David Gregory.

One of the ways DSC is invested in our community is through blood drives. Our next drive will be held on Saturday, June 8 at 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM. Sign up at the Info Center or at unitedbloodservices.org.

The youth of DSC will spend a week at camp in June. Cost will be prohibitive for many, so please help them raise money. If you have any lawn work, home cleaning, baby sitting, etc., please contact Nathan Sherman.
