Greetings Saints,
Just an update. TMI-ATL just celebrated eight weeks of ministry. While much has been accomplished to lay the foundational structure of the church, much remains to be done. The services have been up-lifting, spirit-filled with a lively, family oriented fellowship among the members and visitors. The first new sound system was used for the first time this past Sunday, whew! The staff is beginning to search the area for a semi-permanent place of worship. I recently met with Mayor Moore of Union City to get a greater sense of the area and the needs of the community where the ministry may make an impact. Remember, services are being held in Fairburn, Georgia but the current ministry area will cover the cities of Fairburn, Union City, Tyrone, Peachtree and Fayetteville, though not limited to those areas. This general geographical area includes a wide range of persons from different socio-economic backgrounds. Several former UVA students have come to visit who now live in the Atlanta area. The next challenge is to begin to get the word out that TMI-ATL is here. While word-of-mouth info has begun to spread, there has been no real concerted effort to get the word out until the ministry foundation was fairly solid. Now that there has been great progress in building the foundation, speading information about TMI will go fourth in a very intentional way. Needless to say, many are making huge sacrifices to fulfill this move of God. I ask you to pray that God will provide not only for the needs of the ministry as a whole, but for all the individuals working so hard to be faithful to our Lord's calling here. As you might imagine, the needs are many and great, but it's been so amazing to watch how God has been moving. I think we all are learning and experiencing new dimensions of God's ways and greatness. Perhaps that's been the most exciting thing of all. There is something about launching out into the deep where you get a glimpse of depths that faith can take you. As time goes on I'll bring more updates. If we touch and agree, at least when it comes to doing our Lord's Will and advancing His Kingdom, then He will answer our prayers and He will receive all glory. May God bless each of you richly.
