This week-end

What a week-end! Fellowship of the Hills was packed yesterday with lots of new faces and lots of excitement. Brian did a great job speaking on serving. It was a good day.
Tara opened the gym this week-end. After several months of planning, praying, preparation, perspiration, and perseverance we opened. Fitwize 4 Kids is now a part of the Tallahassee landscape providing healthy lifestyles of children ages 6-15. We had lots of kids and their parents come check us out and we expect lots of kids to connect with Fitwize. Our coaches were amazing and every kid got the special attention they needed.
God put a dream in Tara’s heart about helping children and now that dream is becoming reality. Pray that God will fill up the place for His glory and so we can pay the bills.
There are several things that have me excited right now …
• Fellowship of the Hills is moving to Lincoln High School in January. I am challenging folks at FOTH to fill the empty seat during January at Lincoln.
• I sense a groundswell of college students who are not only making FOTH their home but who a willing to plant this kind of church when their time in Tallahassee is done
• Tara’s gym. It is really our gym but she is the lead and I am supporting her. This commitment we have made to this business reveals our commitment to this city
• People are trusting Christ. Every week we are seeing people making the next steps to Jesus. That’s why we started FOTH. Hell is real and God has provided an escape through the cross of Christ. I would rather us be more focused on people finding Jesus than any other thing!
• The Book about my dad. In every spare moment I have been writing about my father. The book is called Hero and I would love for you to read it. E-mail me if you are interested. I have three more chapters to write and then I will try to find a publisher.
• The big idea. I can’t go into details but I have a vision about really helping people grow in their spiritual commitments.
• Helping other churches and organizations. The last few weeks have been filled with opportunities to consult and help advance God’s kingdom. It feels good to serve God this way.
Because of the high level of work these past few weeks I have not blogged much, so I promise to do better. Stay tuned for more of what God is doing in, for, and through me…us for His glory!
