Your ability to bring God's Word alive is such a strong and passionate way to touch lives. His Word draws men.

Ministry is incredibly real and vital in our lives. We keep going from place to place as Jesus asked His disciples to do. We stay where we are welcome, eat what is put before us and bless our hosts who receive us into their homes and churches. What more is there to do? How can we really understand the blessing of sharing the Gospel? http://dcministries.blogspot.com/2009/01/new-year-prayer.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (DCM Dennis & Wendy Cole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12054753.post-4365864593223990886Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:44:00 +00002009-01-02T17:44:54.747-07:00Make a Smilebox scrapbookhttp://dcministries.blogspot.com/2009/01/ywam-chistmas-card.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (DCM Dennis & Wendy Cole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12054753.post-3377588855295070137Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:16:00 +00002009-01-02T17:16:55.550-07:00Make a Smilebox scrapbookhttp://dcministries.blogspot.com/2009/01/ywam-mexico-team-new-year-pics.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (DCM Dennis & Wendy Cole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12054753.post-404416755885990630Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:09:00 +00002008-12-29T13:10:53.038-07:00Click on to playMake a Smilebox postcardhttp://dcministries.blogspot.com/2008/12/ywam-photos-of-stephanie.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (DCM Dennis & Wendy Cole)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12054753.post-3215952774213468610Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:06:00 +00002008-08-04T12:13:09.103-06:00Flyleaf With Rwanda Genocide SurvivorsWhen rock band Flyleaf visited World Vision projects in Rwanda, it was a strange gig.
