Made the first DVD copies of the Niger movie.  It’s about 15 minutes long.  I have tons more stuff to show, but I think for church presentations shorter is generally better.  Some people go on and on and on. . . .

Went to Staples to pick up some school supplies for the kids at Azalea.  They gave us a new door!  Excellent.  Now if I had a key for it.  Jouvens has a copy.  I sure do depend on that young man!  He’s still waiting for word from the Bahamas for his birth certificate.

I’m in the office at FBC Doraville now.  Finished up my email.  GREAT stuff is happening.  I continue to have more teams sign up for the summer work.  I also have two teams coming during their spring breaks.  A third team is supposed to commit soon.  I need all the help I can get.

Got a call this morning about Briarcliff BC coming to help with some service projects.

Also heard from the director of our mission at Huntington Ridge–Ben Sawyer.  He and his family have been living on site at the apartment for about two years.  They’ve done a fantastic job there.  I really have been proud of them.  They’re going to move off site back to their house before the Summer.  Fortunately, they’ll still serve as directors of that mission.  I’m into longevity–whether they live on site or not is immaterial to me.  In fact, most of the folks that live on site end up burning out within a year.  I’d rather them move out and keep working than just flat burn out.  It happens all the time.

I’m leaving in a few minutes to go back to my house in Stone Mountain to prepare for the final night of the Missions Conference at FBC Conyers.  It’s always fun to talk to people about missions!  John Avant, the VP of Evangelism for the North American Mission Board will be speaking.

Peace.
