Full speed ahead day!

Started out in Forest Park talking with the Regional Manager for Jamco properties at Laurel Pointe.  I had Pastor Reed from FBC Forest Park, Toni Branyon and Tom Lawton with me.  There are some hurdles to get over–the place is supposed to be really dangerous and Jamco has never worked with us before.

I feel confident that with your prayers this will all work out.  I wrote a letter of introduction to the owner along with some reference letters.  Tom will take that over tomorrow morning.

From there I went to Austell to have a meeting with other partners at Kingsley Village.  Kim Jefferies and her daughters have worked there for years in the past.  With Focus properties taking over that area looks like Kim will be back.  First Communities properties used to own it.  When they took over KV, Kim’s work stopped.  This is the same thing that happened to us when FC took over Glennbrooke in Marietta.  Pray that upper management will change that attitude.

Mel Morris from Lite House was at the meeting.  We work with them in 5 other properties.  They are also starting new work in Forest Park–we’ve been invited to help there as well.

Bob Wiley was also there–he’s the Multi Housing guy for the Georgia Baptist Convention.  I’m glad he was there to see how we do things from the ground up.

Kathy and I went to FBC Duluth this evening to visit with some partners and to see one of my favorite new bands:  The Less.  Two of the musicians are sons of Todd Harrison–one of my good friends and tireless supporter of our  mission work.  I’m expecting big things to happen with this band.  Google The Less and check out their My Space Music page.  These guys rock for the Rock!

Peace.
