DCI
has never been a fund-raising organisation nor do we make appeals, send
out magazines or ask for offerings, rather we are a gathering point for
people who feel called to giving for the benefit of the last, the lost
and the least of the world. As Pastor Oswald Smith famously said in the
1930's, "If you can't go yourself, then for God's sake, send someone
else."
