Weekly Rundown (2.28.2010)

• We are officially ONE church in THREE (or in MULTIPLE) locations: Dalton, Calhoun, and now Chatsworth!  We had over 300 people in attendance which is huge!!
  
  
  
  • I use Rick Warren's theory that if you get over 200 people to a new service or effort you have staying power.  Typically, new starts (services, plants, campuses) have a surge and then attendance dips.  Clearing 200 gives critical mass and momentum moving forward.
  
  
  • I am so proud of BOTH our Campus Pastors, Gus & Carll.  They have done an amazing job instilling vision and executing our mission at their respective campuses.
  
  
  
  


• Great start to our JONAH series this week.


• I think our worship leaders are taking things to a whole 'nutha level!!


• Our foreign missions strategy and approach continues to develop.  I had an amazing conversation this week with Living Water International.  We have helped build or repair 2 water wells with them in Haiti and may have an opportunity to travel with them in 2011.  Still praying but looks promising.
  
  
  
  • The work of Living Water is fantastic.  It is amazing what clean water does in a community and the opportunity it gives for people to hear about Jesus.
  
  
  
  


• Adoption update ... we need PRAYER TODAY ...
  
  
  
  • Our court date is Monday, March 1st.  Last week we missed court apparently because of some incomplete paperwork.  We are praying everything is in order and for God's favor in the court and upon our boys!!
  
  
  • We got a crib for the baby ... I just hope he likes to sleep as much as we do :)
  
  
  
  


• More prayer needs -- I'm speaking at an evangelism conference Tuesday afternoon in Warner Robbins ... would appreciate the prayers and that God's Word comes out of my mouth and nothing more, nothing less.
