We had a great time today hanging out with other partners!

I had some of our team get together to meet with Grant Haynes.  He’s a missionary with Global Frontiers Missions working in Oaxaca, Mexico. He’s looking to relocate with part of his team to Atlanta and work with our international population here. Welcome aboard, Grant!



Ian and Ruthie North, Bill Hickey, Toni Branyon, Bennett Ekandem, Kevin Riley, Ashley and Jesse and Grant and I talked about missions and our work around the community.  It was a lively group and we had a ton of fun!  I look foward to helping Grant get his group plugged in locally.  He does a lot of training with indigenous leaders.  I think that’s an element that would bring great value to our team.

Ashley, Jesse and I went over to Perimeter Mall to the Apple Store.  I needed to get a protective case for my new IPhone.  It’s been fun to start learning all that it can do.

We met Ian and Ruthie and Bill Hickey at Azalea at 4pm.  My nephew Jason Sullivan is the volunteer coordinator for Chris Kids a local non-profit doing a great job with kids.  They had some extra bikes and we enjoyed giving them to the kids at the missions.

I focused on the ones that had been doing particularly well on their school work.  But I also made them promise to share with their friends.  They were SO happy.  Thanks again, Jason!

We helped the kids with their homework and writing Thank You notes for the bikes!

Jesse also taught some of the kids guitar.  He got a small guitar so the kids could use it.  They were rocking out!  Jesse is really great with them.

Still mighty cold in Atlanta.  It was 20 degrees this morning.  Too cold to run.
