Unite!
There aren’t many meetings I enjoy going to. The Unite meetings are an exception.
I’ve been working in Atlanta for thirteen years now. Over that time I’ve made a lot of friends, some of them close friends. Many of them go to the Unite meetings. So it’s sort of like going to a fraternity meeting with old school chums!
It was great to see my partners from Perimeter and 12 Stone in particular. The subject of the session today was the sex traffic problem in Atlanta. Our city is in the top three in America with this problem and in the top ten globally! A 500 million dollar problem that affects little girls from around the world. Horrible.
I heard a story from a bust last week in Norcross. A couple of underage Spanish girls were being kept captive in dog cages! Unbelievable. I’m glad that churches are trying to do something about this problem. Our organization is called Street Grace. Pray that we can help stop this from happening.
It was great to be with Ashley this morning. She had on her reporter hat at the Unite meeting. She’ll be writing a story about the problem for her newspaper at Perimeter College, the Collegian. I think there are a lot of college students that will be interested in the problem and how they can help.
This afternoon I took Jesse and Kathy with me to Azalea. I helped Jojuan with his play. Kathy and Jesse helped the other kids with their homework.
It was fun to see all the kids on their bikes.
This evening we went to a seminar at Perimeter Church for all their ministry partners. I always think they have stuff for us to learn.
It was fun to go over what motivates people to support ministry.
Steve Anderson did a great job leading the seminar. He works with some of the largest companies in the world!
