Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, (Ps 133:1-2)
There’s an old African proverb that has echoed through generations, carrying a profound and simple truth: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
We live in a culture that often celebrates the lone wolf, the self-made individual who blazes a trail at lightning speed. It’s the “go fast, don’t die” mentality, a thrilling, high-stakes race against the clock. And for a short sprint, perhaps that works. You can make quick progress, unencumbered by the pace or opinions of others. But a life, a true journey of purpose and meaning, is not a sprint.

Jump before you feel ready.
It can be too easy to become stuck in analysis paralysis. The truth is you will never be fully ready for change or to take a new step of faith. The good news is that God doesn't expect you to. God loves to teach us through experience, we grow by going before we feel fully prepared! Comment below to read the full teaching!

DOVE Congo | New Update
There are several regions where our churches continue to struggle with threats of violence and regional wars. Our churches in the Democratic Republic of Congo are greatly impacted by a regional civil war between the DRC military and M23 rebel forces. The church in Bukavu, a city under the control of militant rebel groups, is now hosting nearly 200 refugees from DOVE churches in the Goma region. They provide shelter, food, and help the children attend school. It echoes Paul describing the Macedonians: "In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability" (2 Corinthians 8:2-3).
Many challenges remain, and it has overwhelmed the already strained resources in this region. We have responded from our crisis relief fund, and with your help we can respond more. We thank God that there have been no casualties among DOVE members in the DRC and that believers continue to serve the Lord with enthusiasm.
