I really enjoy meeting new partners! Today Jason Pope, who has directed our work at Hamptons at Lenox for about three years, introduced me to a man I’d heard a lot about over the years, but had never met: Capt. Kelly Durant. He’s a super great guy. Has a tremendous heart for the Lord and really has done a lot for reaching into the Latino community in Chamblee. He’s got some terrific programs in their building including computer and music classes and food distribution. They also provide space for the Good Samaritan clinic in Doraville. I think that’s great.
I picked up some more supplies for the Palmer’s apartment project. Tomorrow I head to Walmart to get other odds and ends. Plus I’ll pick up the most high powered roach killer known to man. Or at least known to the bug killin’ specialists! Everything is super clean in the apartment so I know we have a good head start against bugs.
I went to Azalea to check on the kids at the mission. Everyone seems to be doing well for the most part. Jouvens has an appointment with the people who grant green cards/work permits on Thursday. Pray that that will go well.
I heard from our lawyer that Jesse was not approved to be bonded out to get into the hospital by the District Attorney. J needs to be in a hospital getting therapy. I’m really upset with this. I just have to believe that God has His timing in all this, but it’s not easy to be patient when it’s dealing with your child.
I met up with Captain Durant and Officer Ayala at Wynscape a new location where we’re trying to get some mission work started. The complex has given them a room to work out of. So far they are working with kids on how to resist drugs and gang activity. There is an emphasis on spiritual things so I like it. I’ll work on getting some computers over there for them soon and will get a hookup for the internet for them to use. Your support of our ministry helps make things like that possible.
I came home and ran 4 miles today. Needed it. I was still upset over the bond issue with Jesse. Please Lord, help us get him out of there on April 4th when we have the bond hearing.
Ashley is helping me work on the newsletter. It’s nearly midnight and she’s typing away. I dig Ashley!
Last night I stayed up till about 1:30am working on the DVDs. I need to crash out before then, but I get going and it’s hard for me to stop. I need to get the labels printed up, start uploading the videos onto YouTube and I’ll rest.
Love you guys!
