New Missions!
I dig it when God just suddenly puts things together.
I spent most of my day contacting managers about our teams coming to do Backyard Bible Clubs next week.
I have a team of nearly 1,000 people in town next week from churches along the East Coast. They’ll be working in 32 different apartment complexes! God is good!
I spent hours on the phone going down the list talking to managers saying, “Great news! Next week, on the 8th, 9th, and 10th, that’s Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, I’ll have a team come to your apartment complex from 1-4pm. They’ll have recreation for the kids, a craft, a snack and a Bible Story. Everything’s free! Look forward to seeing you next week. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.” Over and over and over again. I don’t mind it though. I’ve giving the managers really good news and they’re always super happy to hear from me.
I went to a new location for us on Harbins Road this morning.
The manager there said that she’d talk with her District Manager to get his approval for having a BBC next week. There is another property next to them. I hope to talk to them tomorrow. Pray that God will continue to open doors.
Then when I talked with the Mia, the manager at Magnolia Village in Lawrenceville, she talked to me about their sister property which is some high end deal near the Mall of Georgia in Buford, GA. The really want us to come over and do something. Just the last few days I’ve been talking to my partner Tyler about setting up work in the Buford area! It’s really cool for me to see who the Father puts it together so precisely: right location, right timing, right person. I’ve learned over time that the best plans are the ones that seem to just “fall together.” I’ve seen that if I have to push to hard to “make” something happen, it rarely works out. It’ the difference between a Tim thing and a HIM thing.
