Prepare the Way 2025

Dear Church...

Our theme for this year at Dayspring is “INTO FLOURISHING”. God at work in us, His people, leading us into a place of being fully alive, in Christ, for His glory. 

As we prayed into this year's Prepare the Way, the one word that kept coming up over and over was the word “encounter”. In the gospel of John, we see the story of Jesus laid out as a pilgrimage. One of great endurance. One of glorious encounter after glorious encounter. John 1:14 tells us, “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth”. This is the environment where flourishing happens, where we behold and encounter His glory. 

Dayspring, we are called to be a people who behold His glory and a place where His glory is encountered and released into all the world. To help establish this environment, we are focusing on three main areas: local and overseas missions, in-house ministry, and revitalising areas of our building. 

We invite you to take time to prayerfully consider how you might join in and give to the work God will do through us this year and in the years to come. To ask God to show you the part you are to play as we prepare the way this year. We have faith to believe that you, by God’s grace, will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and that together our generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

In this season, where God is beginning to awaken His church, we would also ask that you join us in prayer. Let us be a church that is alive, awake and alert to all that God is wanting to do in our time. That we truly would be a people who behold His glory and release His glory into all the earth.
