School is back in session and people are getting back in their usual routines. We are no longer meeting in the old church building. The owner says she wants to make some improvements to the building and feels it is best that no one meets in it right now. I suspect she is trying to use this time to get us to increase our offer on the price of the building. We do not feel led at this time to do that but I still believe that church is a potential part of our future.
I am meeting with public school officials today to secure the use of a middle school in the Five Points area of downtown Knoxville. It will allow us to remain in the location we feel called to and give us some stability on a weekly basis. Once we secure a place to worship, we will schedule our official launch date.
We have been given a tremendous responsibility by God to care for people who are marginalized and isolated. Issues of trust and fear are common walls we bump into often. We have broken through, at least on some small scale, with one particular man. One of our homeless friends is an incredibly talented and gifted musician. Someone heard him play and invited him to Nashville to play and sing on two radio stations. I will be traveling with him this Sunday to Nashville, and on Monday he will perform on the radio. Please pray for God's fullness to be accomplished.
God bless and Happy New Year. Todd

Wow, God moves do fast at times my head is spinning! I will be in much prayer for the Nashville trip what an opportunity for God's Glory to be displayed to the masses. I have been so blessed by one man's willingness to let the spirit dwell within the heart that cries out in his song. It is pure worship and praise. I have rarely felt so moved by the heart of a stranger. It is an awesome priviledge.
