New House and Update

Well, it has taken a long time, but we are finally home owners in Georgia! God has been so good to us in this entire transition, I just want to sing His praise. In a market where we could've lost a good bit of money selling our house, we made money. The Lord also provided us a home to live in (in the meantime) through the graciousness of Bruce and Linda Boggs. In a topsy turvy home market filled with foreclosures, we bought a home from people who still owned their house and hopefully were an answer to prayer for them as much as they were for us. God is good.

Pray now as we transition into this home and work around our busy schedules to make the move. Pray that our home would be a place, not just for retreat and relaxation, but a place of hospitality: where young people can gather and learn about God's Word, where families can come and feel welcome. Pray also that Bruce and Linda Boggs would be able to sell their home, as it has been on the market for quite a long time. Pray that the Lord will honor their kindness to us by having a person bid for the home soon.

Now for an update on the work here:

Things are going well lately. With the drop in gas prices, we have seen more people coming out to church again. We had a good number on Sunday. Sunday Morning we had quite a few kids at the 9 AM hour and a good number of youth in our home on Sunday Evening.

We have started a study in the Psalms and Proverbs on Sunday Night for the youth and it appears to be going well. Pray for our continual growth in the number of teens in our youth group.

I received great reviews for my Reformation Chapel at East Cobb. To God be the Glory, because I know how scatter brained I was that morning. I spoke on the Five Bad Bricks on the Church and how the Church was Re-Formed using the Five Good Bricks (Kid Versions of the Five Solas).

I enjoyed making the connection at the FCA at Hillgove High School and am looking for more opportunities to speak at locals schools. Pray that the Lord would open those doors.

On Saturday (tomorrow as I write this update) we are having a family outing to a Dairy Farm in Canton, GA. There are all sorts of wonderful Fall activities for families there. We have around 50 people signed up and are really looking forward to connecting with more families. Pray that there will be new families that will connect through this outing.
