- Introducing our NEW Pilgrim Missions Representative -
Dr. Craig A. DahlerDr. Craig Dahler has been in full-time ministry for the past 35 years.
His specific areas of ministry have included the following:
- Christian Education (Teaching in various parts of Indiana, Ohio, and North Carolina)
- School Administration
- College Professor at Union Bible College for the past 12 years
- Pastoring in Indiana and Ohio - (26 years)
- Youth Camp President - ICHA (2 years) and HHYC (for 13 years)
- Hamilton County Sheriff's Chaplain - (6 years)
- Various boards and community organizations
- And now . . . Conference Missionary Representative!
After pastoring the Noblesville, IN Pilgrim Holiness Church for 12 years, Dr. Dahler felt in his heart that it was time for a transition and began to earnestly seek God's direction in regards to where that transition would lead. Little did he realize that he would be elected as Missionary Representative during the 2012 Conference of the Midwest PHC!Dr. Dahler states, "I am so excited about the new responsibility God has given. After becoming involved with missions in the summer of 1974, when I took my first missions trip to Haiti in High School, I have had a love for missions ever since! After getting that first "taste of missions" I have been privileged to be involved in mission trips almost annually, organizing groups and visiting many fields at home and abroad and internationally."He adds, "It is with this background that I anticipate sharing missions with you, the Pilgrim family! Please allow me the privilege of sharing my Vision 20/20 plan with you and your congregation. The prospects of building the Kingdom in these days is both challenging and exciting. The rewards of doing so are eternal!"Below, you can view the poster for our Annual Self-Denial offering. The goal of 40,000 dollars is aggressive, for sure, yet quite attainable! (It equals out to an average of less than 1,000.00/Pilgrim church)With your excitement, promotion, and support, we can see the work of Pilgrim Missions advanced. Dr. Craig Dahler states, "I encourage you to put together a local plan that will be right for you. Together I KNOW we can reach our goal of 40,000.00!! Get excited . . . I AM!"
