Asking for a Friend…

I know we say this as a joke, “Wondering about XYZ… Asking for a friend!” But this time I am asking for help for a friend.

If you have considered giving to the DSCS, I would ask that this might be the time that you it. Without breaking a confidence, I have a friend that is in need of immediate financial assistance. One of those situations that any amount would help.

If you are able to help, amazing. If not, please pray. God knows. This I know is true.
Thank you!
Pastor John
