Luke 4:18-19, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."
The mission of Dee Stokes Ministries is to be a vehicle through its Worship Experience for God to move in and through His people. DSM seeks to encourage God's people through SONG, PRAYER, and DEVOTION, and teach them that no matter where you are in life, or what you did yesterday, God loves you and He is worthy of ALL the praise. Worship is ALL that we are responding to ALL that He is (Warren Wiersbe)!
The vision of Dee Stokes Ministries is for all who attend our Worship Experience to encounter the true and living God. Whether it is for the 1st time or the 100th time, we want God to minister to, heal, and deliver His people through Dee Stokes Ministries.
