I spent the day with a new partner–Doug Bell! He’s working in East Atlanta around the Moreland Avenue area. LOTS of work to be done there for sure. He’s been a minister in the Manor 5 apartment complex for the last three years. I plan to bring my team from Pine Lake, Florida to help us ramp up work in this area even more.

We did a recon of the area and set up work at Sun Valley and talked to the manager at Paradise East. I still have to hear from their corporate bosses as to whether we can work there or not.

I also went back to the Forest Park area where I hoped to put in teams in about 6 locations. Unfortunately, it turns out the Clayton county doesn’t get out for Summer until June 1st! That means that my teams will have to be in the Dekalb county area instead. So I’ll go back to the Moreland Avenue area and set up another 6 or 7 locations soon.

I really enjoy starting new work, meeting new people, seeing their vision and helping to accelerate their work.

The director of the mission at Sun Valley goes to church in Douglasville, where I had an outreach event last weekend! I hope to get her church involved with our work there.

We went to Walmart to pick up school supplies for the two missions in the area–a little gift to help them from Whirlwind. While I was there, I asked different Walmart employees where they went to church. I hope to get some of the African American churches in the area to plug into the work I checked out today. They need a LOT of help.

And so does my daughter Ashley. Pray that we can get some volunteers to go over and help her there. It’s a burden on my heart.

Came home about 7pm and went for a 4 mile run.

K and I enjoyed watching “The Quick and the Dead.”
