School work!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:06 pm  

I had a great talk with one of my favorite partners this morning, Dr. Carlos Salaverria.  We’re working on some very important strategies for reaching the Latino communities for Christ.  He’s a hands on guy and I really think he’s doing a great job.  He should be appointed with the North American Mission Board next month.

Today I had two major things to do:  Buy a new computer for Margie Brooks who runs the office at FBC Doraville, and buy a new basketball goal for the mission at Azalea.  I got a new Emachine from Best Buy for about $300.  I got them the Office suite for home (she really only uses Word), as well as a wifi card so she can get internet.

Whirlwind provides internet access to the Pastor and the staff at FBC Doraville as well as our friends at the Pregnancy Resources of Doraville and the Doraville Korean Church.  I’m glad we’re able to help our partners!

Went by Walmart to get a new basketball goal.  I’ve probably bought at least 10 goals for the mission.  They are heavily used.  I also bought some tools so keep at the mission so we can put it together.

Ate lunch with Ashley and Jesse before going down to Chamblee.  Took me a couple of hours to copy all the files that Margie needed from the church computer, install them on the new computer and then put the new computer in it’s place.  Had to go to Office Max to pick up the WiFi receiver so it can get the net.  Margie barely uses a computer.  And has never surfed the internet.  That is amazing to me, but I guess there’s still a lot of people that haven’t.

I ran my 4 mile route.  Not too hot.  I ran around 8pm.
