TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Greetings and blessings;
Missed you last week. Much has been happening. Some of you may have known Jennifer Worthams. She had begun attending TMI Atlanta. She also had visited First Baptist in Charlottesville a few times while visiting her dear friend Leonette Henderson. Jennifer lost her life a few days following a terrible car accident. A memorial service was held this past Sunday at Ebenezer Baptist (where Martin L. King Sr and Jr. once served as pastors). Her cousin is the youth pastor there. Her final resting place will be Los Angeles where she was raised. She was only 26 years old. Please pray for her family and boyfriend Billy and many others who are all grieving her passing.

A cross section of TMI leaders and members have just completed a six day (two weekends, Fri thru Sunday) strategic planning process. While there remains a few more things to finalize, the process already has proven to be well worth the effort. The process has helped in solidifying TMI's foundation and create a road map for ministry for the next one, three, five and seven years. We are grateful for Rev. Gwen Young of Virginia for her leadership in this tough but very fruitful process. I am also very grateful for all the participants for working into late hours on Fridays, as much as ten hours on Saturdays and over four hours on Sundays. Your commitment and input has been outstanding! Great fruit is already being manifested.

November 15th, this coming Sunday is when the first service in TMI's new location will be held. The site is being prepared, a dry run will happen this Wednesday, and services will begin Sunday. Not everything will be ready like decorations, window dressings, office furniture and even the podium for preaching may not arrive in time, but that's ok, we'll have church. Some decorations and furnishings will happen sooner than later and some will evolve over time. Pray that God's Glory will rest on the location and even more so, among the people who are members, yet to be members and visitors.
For now the mailing address remains: TMI-ATL, P. O. Box 38, Tyrone GA, 30290. That may change but for now that is it. Any correspondence or contributions should be sent to that address. The new church location is 1950 GA Highway 85 (not interstate 85) Suite B & C, Jonesboro, GA. 30238. You can also visit www.tmiministries.org. We are thankful for staff of the Wingate by Wyndham in Fairburn where services were previously held.
God bless each of you and may his peace, power and prosperity be yours!
