“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.”
God sets us free because He fundamentally loves freedom. It is a core part of His very nature. His love for freedom is so profound that He gives us the most dangerous and beautiful gift of all: the freedom to walk away from Him. He doesn’t lord over us with rules and robotic programming. Instead, He offers an invitation into a relationship where we find our true identity, purpose, and the life we were always meant to live. He isn’t trying to conform us to a list of regulations; He wants to conform us to the image of Christ.

From Canada to the Philippines!
We are so blessed to be a part of an international family! Pastors David and Kathy Hibbert from Canada were able to visit DOVE family in the Philippines for a women's fellowship event and to share at their Vision Seminar.
David Hibbert is one of the fivefold ministers from Canada! Fivefold ministers are apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers who equip and train God’s people in releasing His power for works of service. DOVE recognizes and recommends our fivefold ministers to train, mentor, and release the believers in the Body of Christ.
Check out our list of recommended fivefold ministers on DOVE Canada's website!
Every believer has a bent toward one of the fivefold ministry giftings. What is your gift? Visit DOVE International's website to take our free assessment! doveinternational.com/resources/training/

Pray for DOVE family in Haiti and Cuba!
The churches in Haiti and Cuba have experienced effects of hurricane Melissa in addition to current political crises.
In Cuba multiple church buildings have been destroyed by the hurricane. The political crisis continues with power outages and difficulties accessing water, food, and medicines.
Haiti continues to face many hardships including lack of basic necessities like food and water. The continued reign of local gangs across the country wreaks havoc on the citizens. Leaders and congregants are fleeing their villages to escape ruling gang members who pillage businesses and threaten lives.
PLEASE PRAY FOR:
- safety for DOVE pastors, churches, and communities as they are faced with lack of resources for every day living
the sovereign protection of God for all the Haitian people who cannot protect themselves
- for the governments in Haiti and Cuba to experience positive change
- for strength and wisdom for our Haitian and Cuban leaders through these challenging times ... See MoreSee Less
