We meet the first Saturday of the month at 6:00a to 8:00a. Recommended fasting & prayer the day and/or night before. Sun down Thursday to Saturday at 8am could amount to 36 hour fast. My recommendation is 12-40 hours of fasting prayer before we meet.
This year's plan is a journey through the following Psalms: 1; 23; 24; 34; 37; 84; 91; 103; 119; 121; 139; and 150.
These are often referred to as many people's "favorite chapters" of this book of Wisdom & Poetry.
We'll have small devotional Bible excursions along the way to examine 3 special features unique to this book: The longest chapter in the Bible (119); the shortest chapter in the Bible (117:1-2); and the middle verse of all 66 books in the codified Christian Bible (118:8).
Each month in the midst of every detail in your personal & professional schedule. Make time to familiarize yourself with each listed chapter in advance of meeting in person on our DCAG Campus.
If prepared to minister in the listed word of the month, let me know and I'll let you have the floor for some of our time together. Let me implore other men to Step-up and share!

"Masculinity is not something given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor" ~Norman Mailer, Cannibals and Christians (1966)
David was a "man after [God's] own heart" and in my opinion he hasn't stopped seeking men & woman after His own heart.
1 Samuel 13:14 NLT — But now your kingdom must end, for the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart. The LORD has already appointed him to be the leader of his people, because you have not kept the LORD’s command.”
At David's death bed Solomon received final instructions from his dad:
1 Kings 2:2 NLT — “I am going where everyone on earth must someday go. Take courage and be a man.
1 Kings 2:2 KJV — I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
1 Kings 2:2 NKJV — “I go the way of all the earth; be strong, therefore, and prove yourself a man.
"Be strong & show yourself a man" ~King David
Let's build up strength in the Lord privately and rally together to build up a ministry for men in our region. Some very big things start small. Let's go!
Earnestly,
Rev. Nicholas
Lead Pastor
