Every week our Philippian Fellowship receives a letter from us with updates and prayer requests about things going on here at DG. This week, in praise to God, we wanted to go a little more public with it.

Praise God for the First Quarter of 2009!

God has done marvelous things for Desiring God so far this year—please join with us in praising him for all that he provided! 

  • New resources have been released, such as Noel Piper’s Do You Want a Friend?
  • The DG home page has been completely redesigned with new functions to more easily view video.
  • The Pastors Conference in February served more than 1,500 pastors.
  • The media team travelled to Angola Prison to document five Christian rap artists in concert there. They then travelled to Memphis to finish filming DG’s first music video, Don’t Waste Your Life, which was released last week by Reach Records.
  • Donations have exceeded our expectations, both in numbers of dollars and numbers of donors, in each of the first three months of the year so far.  We are grateful to God for what he has provided through the Philippian Fellowship and others.
  • God opened up opportunities for International Outreach to donate books and media resources for ministry partners in 37 countries including...Bulgaria, China, India, Malawi, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Uganda, and the UAE.  Pray with us for impact and fruitfulness for the global church.
  • DG signed a lease to stay in our current offices while considering our longer-term needs.

Pray for Pastor John

Please continue to pray for Pastor John as he fulfills a number of preaching and speaking commitments through the end of April:

Thank you for praying with and for us,

John Knight
