Update Tuesday - Jackson Street

Shortly after we arrived in Hamilton and got settled in our neighbourhood, we began a prayer initiative in which we got individuals or groups to pray for a particular street in the area.  One of the groups who signed up for this initiative was a small group of ladies from Woodville Baptist Church in Hurtford, North Carolina.  For approximately two years now, this group has been faithfully praying for the street and its residents.  Yesterday, after two long days of driving this past weekend, a group of ladies from the church finally had the chance to visit the street in person.  We spent the afternoon prayer walking the street, in the rain, as they got to put sight, sound, taste and smell to the street that they have so faithfully been lifting to the Lord.  I realized yesterday morning, as I spoke about the street and began to see tears in the eyes of some of the team, just how fortunate we are, and how fortunate the residents of Jackson St. are to have such faithful prayer partners.  We will be returning again today to do some "Gorilla Gardening" as we spruce up some empty lots along the street.  We will also be doing some door to door survey work trying to hear from our neighbours regarding what they think are the best things and the biggest needs within our community.  I am looking forward to another great day.

I am also happy to say that one of our interns, Blake Williams, has arrived, and we are expecting the other hopefully this week.  I am excited about all that they will be able to help us accomplish over the next few months.  

I am also excited to share with you that our new web site is in the final stages of completion.  We would love for you to have a sneak peak.  You can check it out at:
