TRANSFORMING YOUR WORLD

Hey Saints;
Here in the southern U.S. we've been getting a lot of rain and our friends to the north have seen lots of snow and/or freezing cold. I think everyone is ready for summer. For some of you in other parts of the world, it is summer and we hope you are enjoying it, but we here are ready to trade seasons with you. Our prayers and resources continue to go out to the people of Haiti. Here at TMI, we will soon launch a project called "Circle Up" that will bring together people from the surrounding communities to form a huge human sign (formation) in our parking lot. A local news helicopter will fly over and take aerial pictures of the formation which will be aired on T.V. Each participant in the formation, which will be a part of this human sign to show love and solidarity for Haiti, will give a contribution to participate. ALL proceeds will be given to a Haiti relief fund. No individuals will be shown, only the large group as a whole. The anticipated date for this project is Saturday, February 27th from 6pm to 8pm. Anyone in the ATL area is welcomed to join in. I would like to give special thanks to Annette Vick who is organizing this project. Haiti needs help desperately. I encourage you to be creative in how to raise money for Haiti. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:35-40; "For I was hungry and you fed me, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you took me in, I needed cloths and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.......what ever you did for one of the least of these my brothers of mine, you did for me."
True worship is not just our words, our shout or our dance, rather it's in the way we reach out to others in need or distress. We are so often preoccupied with our own issues that we fail to hear the cries of others in far worse conditions than our own. Serving God is serving others. God knows what we need and promises to take care of us if indeed we will do that which is important to Him, reaching out to help others and leading the lost to Christ. Make it your life's goal to serve others and God will bless you. You won't need to seek the blessings and favor of God, His blessings and favor will find you!
Well, TBN was great again. We thank God for Paul and Jan, Dottie and Carolyn for the invitations extended to us. Rev. Gardenia and I also received invitations to the Trumpet Awards. It too was a great experience. The awards show will be aired on TV One on the fourth of April. Thank you Shavonne. Oh yes! And our church sign has finally arrived and is up and, wow, it's nice. We saw it going into mid-week service and, wow, how it lit up the night sky. That's two wows! Thanks Elders Steve Stevens and Tim Young. Well, gotta go. Until next week, God bless you all. We're praying for you!
