Atlanta Connections
I’m currently in a hotel room outside of Atlanta, after driving eight hours from Raleigh. On my way to Atlanta, I stopped in Charlotte and had lunch with Steve.God has answered some prayers, when I left this morning, I had no clue where I would be staying. Lucky for me a friend donated cash for a hotel room tonight, and tomorrow I’m staying with a family I’ve never met-God’s Kingdom at work.
In the morning I will meet with a church that is interested in doing some international work. Tomorrow night I get to reconnect with the Extreme Response boys (Jerry & Dan) in Atlanta. We spent five days together in Cairo last year. Good dudes, who are doing some great work!
Friday, I’m looking forward to hanging with Jeff Shinabarger in East Atlanta. I also have some other meetings lined-up. I love connecting with folks, dreaming together and seeing what God is going to do with each conversation!
That being said, traveling is tiring. I remember talking to Tom about this issues, if we are going to love and serve those in need, we will have to travel a lot, it’s our sacrifice to the Lord and on-behalf of those whom we advocate for. So I consider it a privilege to travel and share my passion to rescue and restore orphans and serve those in need.

Thanks for Believing
I got an email from my friend Todd who pastors The Well, in suburban Philly. Todd, along with some other Philly churches, is hosting a one day seminar with Darrel Gruder and Andy Crouch called Scripture & Culture.Lucky for us, they’ve decided to donate the proceeds of the conference to HELP and One Day’s Wages, which is a new organization led by Eugene Cho. Pretty cool eh?
Don’t get me wrong, we can always use extra cash, so many needs to be met and resources are hard to come-by at times.
But, here is what’s more important, the belief. I can’t tell you have encouraging it is when people “do something” to help us an organization, it means the world!
So, if you live in the Philly, make sure you go to Scripture & Culture, and let me say a big thanks to JR, Todd and all the others who decided to support HELP, it means so much.
