DCC Missions Update | January 2025

Missions | by Pastor Marco Ribeiro

Downtown Cornerstone,

Romans 10:14 reminds us that conversion, for us and for anyone to come, is sparked by the faithful proclamation of His Gospel.

Let us cherish all opportunity to make Jesus known to those closest to us in Seattle, and let us see the need for the Good News to be faithfully preached to all people, of every tribe and nation, around the world (Rev 7:9).

Miletus House
Our partners in Turkey are currently in need of prayer. I encourage you to watch this video and pray for the financial needs of the Miletus House, a vision for a permanent facility to serve and equip pastors and churches throughout the region.

Global Missions Meetup, Sunday, January 12
This Sunday, we had our Global Missions Meetup, where DCC members in the process of being trained for missionary work shared their experience:

  • Kelby Erickson visited from Radius International and will be shared what his training has looked like.
  • Josh and Gil Berkey, who have both been in the mission field, shared their plans for missionary training through Radical this year.

You can find more about our ongoing global partnerships below.

For the King and His Kingdom,
Pastor Marco

ACTS 29

Our church is a part of the Acts 29 church planting network, which provides a great structure and vetting to help us support a variety of church planting and pastoral training efforts around the world.

In addition to our Acts 29 partnership, we are also supporting the following individual churches / planters above.

ACME

Our church also partners with ACME, a fellowship of like-minded churches that pools finances and provides grants to plant and revitalize churches, support international missionaries, and carry out other gospel ministry.

See the list of ACME Member Churches across the country and the grants that have been provided through these churches this year.

DCC GLOBAL PARTNERS
We also equip and support our own members as our Global Partners in taking the gospel to the nations. Due to security reasons, we are unable to publicly list them here. However, if you are interested in learning more about our current Global Partners serving in Southeast Asia, or another currently in training at Radius International, email us at .

Have you considered how you can work towards the advance of the gospel, for the glory of God and the joy of all people? Here are a few ways to get involved:

  • Pray: Start here. Pray for our individual and corporate mission, as well as our partners. Pray for the Lord to lead us in going and sending. Pray for eyes to see those in need around you now, and ask the Lord to empower your evangelism.
  • Join our regular Global Missions Meetups: Our next meetup will be on Sunday, April 13.
  • Bring the Gospel to the Nations: We’ve developed a Global Missions Development Pipeline to help provide practical pathways and training for engagement in missions. Either by going or by sending, you can begin taking the next steps here.
