TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Greetings all;
I can't tell you how much joy it brings me to know we can touch through technology. Knowing you are on the other end of these blogs is a blessing to me. I pray these blogs are a blessing to you. Its amazing how simple, child-like trust in God is all God really desires from us. All else flows from there. In our world and postmodern culture there doesn't seem to be much in which we can trust. Governments, banking system, employers and sometimes even friends and family will let us down. Even in many churches, where we hope to find members and leaders who genuinely love and care for one another, we find power struggles, favoritism, malice, jealousy and even hatred. The T.V. is filled with shows about violence, crime and deceit which is often applauded. Growing up in that kind of world and environment its hard to trust anyone. Over time, with that mindset....well, is it any wonder that even among those who claim to be saved many don't really even trust God. Its easy to say we trust Him because that's what Christians are expected to say, but action speaks louder than words. Can we really say we trust God if we don't spend time seeking to know Him? If few, or if any, of our decisions for church or personal life are made without prayer and seeking His wisdom, can we really say we trust Him? If we believe we are so anointed, so educated or so self sufficient that we don't need to pray and humbly ourselves before Him, are we really trusting Him? The fact that we can choose, think and have spiritual gifts and talents are only because He gave it to us, but let's not forget, He who gave it can take it away. Its impossible to be full of Him if we are full of self and God will not compete with us for who we will be filled with. It comes down to simple, desperate, dependency on God that He will honor with His presence. Just Trust God!
I mentioned last time that TMI Atlanta will be moving to its new worship location soon. The first service there will be Nov. 15th. If you believe in this ministry then pray that God will do Great things as we are fully expecting He will do. What God has already done has been amazing so we know far greater things will be done. The new location will be at 1950 & 1960 Georgia Highway 85, Jonesboro, GA. However, that may not be the mailing address. For now the mailing address remains P. O. Box 38, Tyrone, GA 30290. As you might imagine, the needs are many. Sanctuary and pulpit furniture, office furniture and office supplies are a few of the needs. If you would like to sow into TMI Atlanta you may do so by sending you gift(s) to the above P.O. Box. Please make a note with your gift that is for the needs of the new location otherwise your gift would be counted as a seed gift for the ministry at large. If you live in the Atlanta Metro area or will be visiting at some point we certainly would love to see you. Until next time may our Lord bless you in abundance by His Grace!

TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Greetings Saints;
Praise the Lord! TMI-ATL is on the move. After just one year we are moving into a new worship facility. The blessings of our Lord continue to be great. On November 15th the first service in the new facility will be held. This new location is over three times our current space for worship. Adjacent to the worship space will be offices and classrooms and meeting rooms. Located on GA85, it is technically in Jonesboro but very near both Fayettville and Riverdale. The ministry field is very good. As you can imagine there is much that is required to be fully up and running. The purchase of chairs, tables and pulpit furniture to name a few. In addition there will be the need for office furniture and items for a nursery/childcare. If you would like to send a gift to help us meet these and other needs you may do so by sending it to Transformation Ministries International of Atlanta or TMI-ATL. If by check please indicate in the note section that the gift is for the purchase of furniture and equipment so that the gift will not be included in with regular gifts and offerings. Know that your one time or regular gifts are not only greatly appreciated but we believe God for His promise to bless you richly for your kindness in helping us to advance the cause of Christ in this area. If you live in the Atlanta area or if you will be here on that weekend, we would love to have you come and share this great moment with us.
Remember the TMI-ATL family in your prayers and may the mighty hand of God bless you and keep you always. Look for more information in next week's blog.
