THE HISTORY
-How We Got Started-
In the Spring of 2003 a small group, led by Pastor Princeton H. Holt, joined together around a shared vision, to make dreams come true. Princeton wanted to help the urban disenfranchised find purpose and meaning in life, discover and realize their God given dreams, become independent and responsible citizens, and help make their communities a better and safer place to live. As the vision was shared, others with financial resources joined to help accomplish this mission.
We have been blessed with hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction fees from a group not affiliated with the ministry. This group whom we did not know, and did not ask to give us a dime, has blessed us with favor by building us a Church and Child Development Center.
We have opened in the Bushwick section, Brooklyn's only 24 hour a day, 7 days a week, Child Development Center. The Center has 8,000 sq. feet of space, a 200 child capacity, with an annual income potential of $4 million.
Our accomplishments to date have been without bank loans or church fund raising campaigns. It was all given to us as a gift from God. We as a congregation are continually in praise and adoration to Him for His goodness, provision, and His love, and He is no respecter of persons.
At this beginning stage, we also have the freedom to build a non-denominational church with no traditional restrictions. We are building from the ground up an international ministry, where Jesus is Lord, and the Bible our only focus. We are including those elements gathered from the New Testament Church that will make our church a Spirit-filled, Christ centered organism. A place where miracles are common and traditional practices, detrimental to church health are discarded.
We take back
All that the devil has stolen from us.
This is the day, the set time
The designated moment and the appointed place
For D.A.W.N Christian Fellowship
To experience a breakthrough
For all our many months of seed sowing.
WE now live in the joy of abundance and prosperity
It's our time. The wait is over.
We're Walking Into Our Season!
