Dave Bowers has accepted a call from God through Jesus Christ, to become an
ordained minister of the Gospel. This congregation - Downsville Christian Church - has
called Dave from the Church through Jesus Christ to be a minister and has pledged
to guide and sponsor him as he proceeds on the path to ordination.
Dave has been accepted at Lexington Theological Seminary - a school this congregation
has strong ties to. He will come under care of the Regional Commission on Ministry this Fall
and begin work at LTS. His courses at LTS are online so he will be home during much of
his seminary training. He'll go to Lexington for two weeks each winter and summer.
We are proud that Dave has been called, prouder that he heard the Lord and said,
"Yes, send me." This decision never comes without deep prayer, deep thought, and plenty
of angst. God be with you Dave as you begin - and throughout - your life as
God's minister of the Gospel.
Keep Dave, Monica, Bethany, Jennifer, and Hannah in your prayers.
