Jesse and I had a terrific day!

His morning I went over to Staples to make my copies for this month’s newsletter.

We went to Dekalb United Pentecostal Church where we met with my partner Jose Leos. He wanted to check out an apartment complex that had a large Latino population.  We met him at the church and I had the chance to share with Pastor Wideman.  He seems to really want to get his congregation involved.  That’s what I do, so I’m excited about the partnership.

Jose and J and I went over to Colony of Stone Mountain off of Central Avenue.

We got to talk with the manager and drop off a bunch of little fliers for people to pick up if they want to have English as a Second Language classes..

The manager let us know that they have a club house and that it just had a grand opening last month.  They invited Pastor Leos to help teach classes.  She told me about Ruth Samples who is the person who is heading up the after school program and runs the clubhouse.  Ruth was SO excited that we wanted to help.

She also talked to us about  one of the leasing agents named Josh.  Apparently, he’s a great musician and helps with the Spanish churches in the area. Really an incredible morning.

After we left Colony apartments we met up with Heidi G.  She works as an editor and is part of New Life church.  She’s a MK raised in Zimbabwe.  She’s particularly interested in working with Muslims.  Heidi also works in the Mommy and Me program that Kathy works at in Clarkston.  I enjoyed meeting her today.  She’s also one of the organizers for the Perspectives course.

Checked on the kids at Azalea.  They sure were glad to have 5 days off!  I picked up 20 chairs for the little party that we’re having at my house on Thursday.

Went to my office at FBC Doraville and worked on writing the newsletters.  Jesse has been helping me too.  Ashley printed up the new calendars.  So it’s definitely been a team project.

We had the Whirlwind Missions annual Board meeting this evening.  I’m SO blessed to have three terrific men of God on my board! They have all been such a blessing to me.

Dr. Carl Barrington is one of my favorite people on the planet.  You may remember praying for him for his Prostate cancer surgery.  His latest reports are absolutely terrific!  Almost no cancer cells at all!  PTL.

He’s the President of our board.

It was also great to see Jon Paul, our treasurer and my brother Tito Ruiz.

These guys are doing a terrific job and I really appreciate them!

Came on home about 8:30pm.  Long day.

Checked my email/blogged.

Peace.
