I prepared the envelopes for the teams from Durham and Myrtle Beach.

Added the prayer card, spirit paper and flyer.


Had lunch with Ashley and Penelope. It was great to see her eating well again. Answer to prayer for sure. I made a salad and P grabbed one of the spinach leaves and jammed it in her mouth. She was chewing on it with her one tooth while eighty percent of it was hanging out her mouth. It was so funny.

Came home to do more research. Finished Myrtle Beach this afternoon.

Added about another 30 people to our email list.

Plus more data on the cities spread sheet.

It really struck me today how my focus for Whirlwind Missions has changed. Yesterday, when I was driving around Clarkston, I could see ten or twelve places where I had started work. My focus was on starting as many missions as possible. I was always trying to get churches to get involved. Super hard to do. Made me sort of sad and discouraged about the churches.

I don’t get that feeling with the Teams. They’re all here super enthusiastic, ready for life change. And we have ministry in over forty complexes. We are shooting for 100 complexes. With enough workers, we could evangelize huge numbers of people.

So it seems to me the Teams are really the focus of Whirlwind Missions now. And when I finally realized that, it makes it really easy to get fired up.

There was a time when I cared about having more missions in apartment complexes working with immigrants and refugees than any other ministry in America. We achieved that goal.

Now, I want Whirlwind Missions to be THE place to come for the best missions experience in the world. Our combination of presentation, Cultural Safaris, Power Prayer, and hands on mission work makes us second to none. I want to dominate this field, and see what can really happen with thousands of volunteers in a year.

This realization is kind of a big deal for me.

Came to Azalea early to work with Jesse. We got his insurance squared away for 20l7. Couldn’t believe the best deal was with BCBS. There are types of insurance that you can only get with an agent.

Got the letters in the mail. Total of 27 today.

Went to the mission to work with the kids. I’ll always have a group of kids I’m working with. First hand experiences are the best.

Ashley got stuck in traffic. I just sent her home.

I made the kids clean up the place. I time them and illustrate how little time it really takes to do. Always surprises them.

Admin duties now.

Beauty.

Classic lens flare.
