Mosaic Knoxville

What a night at Grace Baptist Church! Sunday night, February 26th, God allowed us the opportunity to share our vision and story at Grace Baptist Church, our primary partner. We were able to dedicate our first baby born in the Mosaic family, little Emmitt. Claude did a wonderful job sharing his heart about his journey from Grace to New Orleans and now back to Knoxville. Stanley was awesome as he shared about the Amachi program. There were 20 people from Grace who signed up to be an Amachi mentor. Many others signed up for car care, housing, and women's crisis ministries.

Diahn and the praise band were totally anointed by God. When Diahn began singing her solo, there was a hush over the entire place. God was moving in the hearts of people and touching that deep place inside of them that awakens their heart. When Donald started playing that baby grand piano, tears began welling up in people's eyes. It was a blessed night, ordained by God.

We are thankful for the opportunity to lift up Jesus Christ; the rescuer, restorer, reconciler, and rebuilder of our souls. We simply wanted to communicate what we believe Jesus is doing in the inner city and offer them an invitation to join it. Many did and many will as the word continues to ripple through their church family. We were given a nice computer, which I have been praying about, and someone has a house they want us to use for ministry purposes. Praise God.

We will be meeting with the city director of community development and the county director in the next two weeks. Please pray that God would give us unbelievable favor in those meetings. It will be very important to the direction God moves us, especially in the area of housing.

We are finalizing our plans as we ask the question, what does it mean to be a member of Mosaic? We do not want our membership to look like what the traditional model has historically looked like. We are also beginning to develop our strategy for launching our car care ministry, housing ministry, women in crisis ministry and our Amachi Mentoring ministry.

It is so exciting to join God in what He is doing. Thank you Lord Jesus for allowing us the privilege to walk with you.
