Ministry Updates!
Stacy Davis
Hi Friends,
The past year has been a whirlwind in life and ministry! Brenda and I have just tried to keep in step with the Lord at each turn. To say it’s been a year of unknowns and waiting is an understatement. He has physically moved us both to new states (Florida and Massachusetts) while transitioning the Delighting in the Lord ministry from a local church ministry to now a national emphasis. There have been tears, reluctance to let go, anticipation, and a bit of overwhelm at times. And yet, as they say, the rearview is 20/20 vision. We can look back over the last three years and see God’s gentle movements and preparations. Of course, we didn’t see then what we see now. But in His faithfulness He works all angles of our lives. So take heart if you are in a season of transition and confusion - God is moving and preparing you in ways you may not visibly see for what is coming next. All we can say is, stay ever so close to Him in prayer and His Word. His comfort is unmatched and His peace unexplainable. He’s got you.
So what’s THE SAME WITH DITL ministry?
Let’s start with what is the same. We are still a Biblical equipping and teaching ministry for women. Brenda and I (Stacy) are as connected as ever, despite our new locations, in our calling and mission to share the Gospel through writing women’s Bible studies and sharing His Word. Thank God for technology as Google docs and FaceTime are our new modes of collaboration. We have a full fall teaching calendar and will share God’s Word wherever He opens the door.
here’s what is new!
Bible Studies:
We just finished writing a Bible study on the book of Romans. The study has made its way through editing and design and should be available on Amazon by the end of August. It is a 17-week Bible study written in a new format called Simply R.E.A.D. Our home church in PA will be using the study with their weekly women’s Bible study. Additionally, our Bible study on the Gospel of Mark was published in March 2025.
If you’ve completed any of our 17 Bible studies, we would so appreciate a review on Amazon. It takes just a few minutes but helps people find the studies. Amazon uses reviews to make products more visible so your reviews help spread the Gospel! Thanks in advance.
Conference Teaching and Invites:
For 15 years, we taught weekly DITL Bible studies at our church, Calvary Chapel Chester Springs which is located outside Philadelphia. Now that we reside primarily in two new states, we won’t be teaching weekly. But God has been opening the doors for us to be conference speakers. It’s an exciting new chapter. We will travel wherever God sends us. We spoke in California, Arizona, Kansas and PA last year. Our Fall 2025 calendar is filled but we are taking speaking requests for 2026.
Equip and Encourage 2025:
About a year and half ago, our Pastor asked us to consider leading a women’s conference for servant-leaders. Our Pastor said, “You lead it and we’ll host it!” The Equip and Encourage Leadership Conference was put into motion. After much prayer and planning, we will be having our first conference on October 18, 2025 at Calvary Chapel Chester Springs. Women from Calvary Chapels throughout the U.S. as well as other local churches are invited to our one-day conference geared toward building up women who are serving in any area of women’s ministry. We are so excited for this conference. If you are serving or discipling women in a church or your community, we invite you to join us!
Social Media
With more of a national ministry focus, we are using Instagram and Facebook as a platform to share God’s Word. If you care to stay updated on our ministry resources, as well as receive weekly Biblical encouragement, you can follow us on IG at ditl_ministry and on FB at Delighting in the Lord Ministry.
As you may know, the Delighting in the Lord ministry has always been a non-profit. No one who serves in the ministry receives a paycheck nor do we make any money on the sale of our Bible studies. Every ministry need, God has filled through people with the necessary skills and spiritual gifting to serve alongside us as volunteers. It’s been a joy to see His provision again and again. We don’t doubt He’ll continue to provide long into the future.
We would so appreciate your prayers as we enter this new season. How can we be praying for you?
In Christ’s love,
Stacy Davis and Brenda Harris
