Make plans now to join the 2017 conference Lenten study. The Dakotas Conference study will be based on the book, "Dare to Dream," by Mike Slaughter. Bishop Ough and the Dakotas Conference Cabinet members will present weekly video messages for churches and individuals, which will be available here to view and download in February 2017.

Are your goals too small? Are you living the “just get by” plan? Or is there a greater “God dream” for you that, if lived to the fullest, could permeate and inform every move you make?

Dare to Dream is a startling and inspiring program by popular author and pastor Mike Slaughter that draws on the Bible and a lifetime of ministry to help us discern God’s dream for us and learn to live it out, prayerfully and enthusiastically. Participants will learn how to develop a life mission statement that helps them fully commit to a God-directed lifestyle.

Chapters include:

Dreaming the Dream – Wake up to God’s dream inside you.
Discovering Your Birthright – You were created with a purpose.
Your Burning Bush – Be aware of those illuminating God moments in your life.
Lose Your Big Buts – Allow God’s strength to be displayed in your weakness.
What Is in Your Hand – Identify and utilize the ordinary gifts God has given you.
Perseverance – Discover a dream for your life far greater than your own.
