Fun day today!<\/p>\n

Now that I think about it, nearly ALL my days are fun! PTL, baby!<\/p>\n

Santi Gahatay is a great missionary from Bhutan who helped church planters when he was a refugee in Nepal.\u00a0 I had a meeting with him and a great business partner Chuck Vogt today.\u00a0 We enjoyed listening to Chuck’s journey and how he thought Santi could fit into the team.\u00a0 Chuck runs Metro Lawn service in Atlanta.
\n\"s\"
\nHis ministry is to help people start their own buisness.\u00a0 I have a heart for refugees and the refugee pastors in particular.\u00a0 Many of them end of working at the chicken factories in Gainesville. Not exactly the best job.\u00a0 Hard on pastors because of the length of travel job to get there and the hours are really tough.\u00a0 My prayer is that God will bless Chuck’s business so they can be in expansion mode and add Santi and then help him start his own business so he can employ other pastors.\u00a0 Pray for that!<\/p>\n

We also met two new partners who have a food ministry called Great Food For All.
\n\"s\"\"d\"
\nSteve Traylor and David Purvis are filling a gap that Angel Food ministries has left behind.\u00a0 Check out their web site at greatfoodforall.com. They were meeting with my partner Bennett Ekandem in Clarkston.<\/p>\n

It was also fun to see Bayo Otiti from Nigeria! My brother Bennett Ekandem, the director of the mission at Willow Branch, is also from Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\"b\"
\nHe came to Clarkston to help the kids and talk with us.\u00a0 I was hoping to get Bayo a computer from my office, but the two I had didn’t work.\u00a0 Neither of them would power up.\u00a0 Weird.\u00a0 So we went by Clatie Lewis’ house to take him the bad ones and see if he could get us another one from the ministry that he works with:\u00a0 Reboot.<\/p>\n

We went by Azalea to check on the kids.\u00a0 They really don’t have any homework any more.
\n\"j\"
\nSeems like the whole school just coasts after the standardized tests are completed.<\/p>\n

Bennett gave me a bunch of candy from the mission at Willow Branch. We had fun throwing the kids the candy.
\n\"b\"\"c\"\"i\"\"c\"\"r\"
\n\u00a0 Ian and Ruthie North and Cathy Wilson and her daughter Leah also go it on the fun!\u00a0 Excellent.
\n\"i\"
\nCame home and worked out on weights.<\/p>\n

Spent good time with the kids and Kathy this evening.\u00a0 Jesse plays great guitar and Ashley has been playing too.\u00a0 It’s like a dream come true for me!\u00a0 Everybody jammin’ together.\u00a0 Even Kathy was singing!\u00a0 Uber!<\/p>\n

Still need to go through the bills from the office, then I can relax.<\/p>\n

Peace!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
