DCF Power of Prayer Ministry
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. --Phil. 4: 6-7

Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. DCF is a body of believers dependent upon prayer and committed to God's sovereignty.
The Power of Prayer ministry exists to serve the entire body. Our mission is intercessory prayer for the needs of the church and the body. The first church was a praying church. Acts 2:42. God commands us to pray without ceasing. 1Thes. 5:17 and tells us in Phil 4:6 to be anxious for nothing, but to make our requests known to God via prayer and supplication. Throughout the week, volunteers from the Power of Prayer (P.O.P) ministry pray for the pastor, church members, and any special requests and prayer needs. If you are in need of prayer, please feel free to click the button to submit a prayer request or submit one at the church facility. Karen McDaniel provides leadership for the P.O.P ministry.
