Hello and thanks for stopping by for today's Destin for Victory, where we feature the teaching

ministry of Pastor Paul Shepard. Coming up next, Pastor Paul takes us to the book of Daniel

for a beautiful story of unwavering faith. Before we get started, though, we'd like to share an

important message with you. As you may know, summer is always a tough time for

ministries like Destin for Victory. Donations tend to plunge during these months, which is why your

support is appreciated now more than ever. Over the years, Pastor Paul and I talked about this,

and here's what he had to say. It would be great if your mortgage company or whoever you pay your housing bill to would say,

So thank you to those who help us,

and I want to challenge more and more listeners. Would you become partners with us,

and would you remember us, even if you're not a monthly partner, in the summer,

think about us and drop us a line and put a check in there or contact us with the online platform of giving and say we want to

make sure that you continue throughout the year, including in these summer months. Thanks for thinking of us
