Since we have shared the Mosaic vision at Grace Baptist Church two weeks ago, God has opened up so many doors. Our capacity for ministry has expanded and the opportunity to invest in the lives of people has multiplied.

We were able to move one of our new friends into his first house in Knoxville and we were all excited. Thank you to all the people who donated household items for him. The man is the bass player in our praise band and sings soloes on a regular basis. He also officially joined Mosaic in March.

We have seen ministry opportunities increase with women who are on the streets and desperately want a new start. God has allowed us to join Him in binding up the brokenhearted and setting the captives free.

The last two weeks we have been in meetings with city and county leaders to share with them Mosaic's vision. They have been extremely supportive and encouraged us to move forward. They are especially excited about our housing ministry. We are learning that having a home, a safe place to live, covers a multitude of issues. People really do make better life decisions when they have something for which they are responsible.

Please continue to pray for us as we launch out into many new ministries this spring. Car Care begins in April, Amachi mentors are being recruited, Tamar Ministries is beginning (caring for women in crisis), housing is getting ready to explode, and the church is gaining momentum.

We will begin providing CHILD CARE on Sunday, March 26th. Our worship begins at 10:30am and we hope more families will have the opportunity to worship with us as we minister to their preschoolers.

God bless and keep praying.
