Course description:
Presenter Dwight DuBois provides the following program description: "Imagine a church that carries Jesus' love into the world in countless ways and places. Imagine a church that provides healing, comfort, and care for the sick and suffering-every day, near and far. Imagine a church that feeds the hungry around the clock, not just when it's our turn at the shelter. Imagine a church engaged in ministry that is so far-reaching that it's impossible to count, categorize, or report. More information here: http://www.dmpcc.org/street
