We are welcoming fall back this week... and students are everywhere. I miss the lack of traffic and lines in general that makes Athenian summers so wonderful... But am excited for the return of students-- new and old. God has ordained them to live here and ordained us to preach the gospel to them and help them grow. So I say bring on the traffic and grocery store lines!!
Ministry is up and running. We had our first Tuesday night of the semester last night. It was a sweet time in studying the Word, praying for one another, and catching up. We had a handful of new students too! The location we were set to move into was bumped back for at least 2 weeks as we wait on the city to give approval to renovation plans. Oh well, we can’t control it and God knows what He’s doing... We are studying though the book of Nehemiah this semester. The audio will be up soon on the web site. Let me encourage you to keep up with us by downloading the free mp3s there and listening to our talks. Go to http://www.thejourneyuga.com/lg.htm Check this weekend for Tuesday night's talk.
Look for changes in our ministry soon as the Journey is becoming the Athens Acacia Fellowship. I’ll be explaining more about this change in the days ahead, but know that we are excited about what the Lord is doing. We’re still a part of WDA’s national ministry, but our focus is becoming more than just the UGA campus. There’s a whole generation of 20-somethings in our country who are exodusing the church, and our mandate is to reach them with the Gospel, help them grow to maturity in Christ, and reconnect them into the local church. Pray for us as we seek the Lord for strategies to accomplish this. We are so dependent on his direction!
