Atlanta/Alpharetta CPA on Finding Our Way to God…Taking Christianity Into the World

Frequently when we try to share God’s love with others we get tongue tied as we strive to me more insightful than we need be. When Jesus walked the earth it seemed as if He made all of the complicated things we see; simple. 

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 

One of the talents God alone has blessed me with is one of exhortation. Over the last thirty years of my life, my focus has been predominantly how I can grow in my walk and my study of the Bible, I have discovered the richness, body and compassion of the New as well as the Old Testament. No longer do I see an angry God but how much he loves each and every one of us deeply and whose undeniable commitment to his people. John 14:6 is the verse that I go back to again and again as I seek to tell others of my Lord Jesus Christ. I have learned that by keeping it simple on my part, that God can do His work.

Atlanta CPA Takes Christianity Into the World…What Does Being a Christian CPA Mean

www.HisCPA.com

Frequently as Believers we make sharing a faith hard, while Jesus said that Christians would be known by their love. Whether you are Baptist, Episcopal, Methodist, or Presbyterian we are all united by our faith in Jesus Christ. Several years ago God laid on my hear that I should establish  a different kind of CPA firm — one that would bring the principles of Jesus Christ to the practice of Accounting.

During this time, his practice has been growing, as clients who are seeking a Christian accountant who believes in Christ’s principles take advantage of His CPA for their business accounting, personal financial planning, and tax preparation needs. My CPA practice is how I provide for my family. But our speaking engagements, our books, our mission work and our involvement in the pastoral relations committee is what we are. We are a part of the Body of Christ, made for a specific purpose and destined to be with Him forever.

Below is my testimony on how he was led to create a Christian CPA practice to serve business owners throughout Metro Atlanta, America and the World.

Managing my own successful CPA practice in Gwinnett County for over twenty years, I continue to feel God’s calling on my heart and his desire for me to be more about Him. I have always felt it was my mission to witness to those I came in contact with in both my business and social contacts, but God continued to lay it on my heart that He wanted much more.

Even though  I was willing to share my Christian faith with people to whom I came in contact with, God was calling and he wanted me to be much more overt, but loving, to share the love of God. Having practiced the Golden Rule in my CPA firm for years, God was calling to be the true center of my life and not just a major player.

With my new bride now of six years, we set out on a journey that has led us on mission trips, publishing books, changing Georgia law, and starting a new accounting firm, HIS CPA, P.C.

Though we wanted to start the company at the beginning of the year God made it necessary to start the firm immediately as He wanted it done then and not later. To this end we have been faithful and continue to spread the Good News of our faith and Christianity to anyone who would like to hear.

Our faith and our lives intersect. Though we still have much to learn to grow to be like Him, we have studied his word and continue to work in Bible studies to share his love with others. My CPA firm is committed to the One who made me and we act on this daily by “Serving HIM by serving You…one tax return at a time”.

Atlanta CPA Presents Major Tenants of Mission Work, While Calling on God for Miracles…Taking Christianity Into the World

I appreciate all of the hard work that you do to support the work of  God throughout the world. We have been honored to serve Jesus Christ for the last five years in the desert of New Mexico as we serve our native Americans, the Navajo. As a Family Mission Trip I have watched families of one and families of many call on the power of Christ to change and redeem the lives of those we serve with and those we serve. When our family was first asked to lead this trip, we immediately began praying the prayer of Jabez and that God might allow us to have a dramatic impact on the reservation and in the heart and lives of the Navajo.

Be Bold In Your Faith: Call on God for Miracles

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 

This trip has grown from the first year to when almost fifteen of us went  five times that number going this year. God has done it all. All we have done is to be obedient to His calling. I feel that as long as God calls that I should do all that I might to make sure that all “find a seat at the table.”  We were uniquely blessed this past year we have had three members from the Reservation visit here, been asked to be the Godparents of one of those we serve, added adult Bible Study, deepened relationships with the seniors. expanded our construction efforts, working to develop team building with the Navajo on the reservation and watched God do much to bless our efforts both while we are there and since.  

We continue to have almost daily contact with the reservation. We often meet sometimes as many as three to four times a week with members of our team to cement our love of each other, to encourage our faith in God, and to develop strategies how we can best witness to each other and to the Navajo. Just this past week we have met with several families and the predominant thoughts of our talks are our journey on the reservation. Also this past week I met with John of Bugs 4 Christ to discuss the best way we could reach the Navajo youth as well as the adult men and women on the reservation. 

This year we plan to have a 5 p.m. dinner on the reservation at the Senior Center to meet on their turf, to cook out, to fellowship, to present the Volkswagen we are going to rebuild as we  present God’s word, while talking about how our minds our made to conform more and more to the image of Christ. John of Bugs 4 Christ has been a Youth Minister and adds much depth and spiritual insight to ways that we plan to reach out and to touch the lives of those we serve and those we serve with. 

I am reminded of the story in the Old Testament of the Bible in the book of 2 Kings. There we are told about a widow of a man who had deceased.  The widow called on the Prophet Elisha for help. Elisha promptly advise her go to all of her neighbors and to ask for empty jars and not just a few and then to take all of them home. Elisha told the widow to pour from the oil in her jar at home into all the jars that she had gathered. The widow however did only partially what Elisha had told her and stopped when she felt she had “enough” jars in so doing limited God’s blessings.

Don’t Limit God

She [the widow] left him and afterward shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring.  When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”  But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.  2 Kings 4:5-6 

Too frequently I believe we are like the widow and limit God. Frequently in life when we are at the precipice of our greatest victory that we begin to get afraid and tend to limit what God might want to do in our lives. I believe God calls us to live expectantly seeking all the more so that we might do more for the Kingdom.  

When Nehemiah heard about how the walls of Jerusalem lay in ruins he first was still as he fasted and prayed seeking to learn what God would have him do. He did not rush out but was well reasoned and organized. After confirming God’s calling on his life, Nehemiah called out to God seeking God’s favor and blessing for his journey ahead, for which he quickly learned God was blessing his obedience. Upon arriving in Jerusalem, Nehemiah was analytical in surveying the damage to the city walls,  insightful in his delegation and leadership and both wise and prudent in seeking out others of like mind.

Then I [Nehemiah] said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” I also told them about the gracious hand of my God upon me and what the king had said to me. They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work. Nehemiah 2:17-18

“He (God) Knows My Name.” This is to be our theme for this year’s mission trip. By reminding all on the reservation that the mighty God of the universe knows who each and every one of them are, giving a shirt along with these words and a Navajo style cross, we will do much to make God real in the lives of many who are not blessed to attend a church of any type. 

We have also discussed and would like for the Church to consider having for all missions a month before the first mission trip leaves a 3 Day Famine for Church Wide Missions. We would like to invite the world at large to join all people going on missions to join us in this endeavor, as we prepare our minds, hearts and souls as we prepare to be the very hands and feet of Christ 

This is a family trip for us and that we pour our entire hearts and soul into this trip striving to do all that we might to make it what God would have it to be. As the demands of a larger and larger group have encouraged us to seek out the godly, wise and most treasured help of our dearest friends to assist us in leading on this trip. Their insight and assistance has done much to bolster our faith, generate energy and to strive to do all that we might not to limit what God might want to do in the lives of others.  

With the $3200 plus additional monies raised last year along with the higher fees this year, I believe we are still remaining revenue/expense neutral in church monies for our trip, which remains our short and long term goal. I believe this is essential as our local churches need to be able to support and encourage both the congregation and the mission field in our own backyard. I believe all mission participants should seek to raise their own support (via support letters) that this would be an advantage to others to Take Christianity Into the World as all seek to tell friends, family and others about what we are doing in His name.

We have found that in serving the Lost, the Last and the Least that God’s redeeming power is poured out again and again into the lives of those who have served. I am committed to doing whatever I need to do to ensure that not one person is discouraged or limited from being allowed to serve the Kingdom of God.  I believe that all missions and in the life of our churches has done much to encourage those to walk in faith in action and indeed. 

I believe that the Navajo people and more specifically the people of Pueblo Pintado are ready for a revival in God’s word that is to be sparked by us. I believe that in so doing that we will all be more of what God wants us to be, both there, and in our daily lives. For it was from small groups that Jesus poured his life into and from which we are all enjoying still the fruits of his efforts. I believe that all that we are called and should serve others.  Seek God with all your heart and seek after him with all your might and call on His blessings in all that you do.

Atlanta/Duluth GA CPA Presents Men Step  Up…Taking Christianity Into the World

I wanted to let you know about something that has been going on for men in Gwinnett County for about 4 years. 

One of the things I have been looking for is a place to grow that is relevant to me as a man in the marketplace. I think I’ve finally found it in a forum called Men Step Up.  This is a weekly forum where men have an opportunity to look at real issues, step up to the truth, and personally interact with the Word of God and one another. 

A lot gets done in an hour (6:30am – 7:30am on Friday).  They serve coffee & doughnuts, followed by a brief opening that sets up a lie commonly held by most men, and the truth about that lie.  Then, there is 20 minutes of discussion with no more that 4 people at a table.  One of those 4 is a table leader who directs the conversation for the other 3 to be heard.  The most important thing that happens is each man takes the specific verse of the week and meditates on it and then discusses what jumps out to him.  Then the discussion is opened up to the room and a large group wrap-up takes place.  It is amazing what comes out of this simple approach. 

Men Step Up has been around for about 10 years with its origins in Alpharetta.  It now has a subscription based on line offering that is available to any man all over the world.  Check out www.menstepup.com 

Locally, Men Step Up – Gwinnett meets every Friday at California Dreaming at 6:30am (I-85 & Old Peachtree Rd. Exit 109).

Duluth GA /Alpharetta/Roswell CPA Offers Sample Support Letter to Raise Financial & Prayer Support for Navajo Family Missions…Taking Christianity Into the World 

The model that I believe is having the largest impact in Worldwide and Local Mission Work is to seek the prayer and financial support of others to support in action and deed efforts to support others in being the Hands & Feet of Jesus Christ. Below is a Sample Support Letter one might use as a guide in developing their own: 

I hope that all is well with you.  Life has been going so fast here lately with work, church and family.  I have been so blessed by God over the past few years and have grown so much through the ministries of our church, Sugarloaf UMC.  It has been a long journey, but worth every minute. 

Part of that journey is stepping out in faith to do some radical things and this summer, July 11-July 17, I have prayerfully committed to go with a group from my church to Pueblo Pintado, NM.  As Matthew 28:19-20 reminds us:  “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 

I feel a genuine calling to go and help these people.  In an area that is faced with severe poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, violent crimes, no jobs and so much more, many of the children are forced to go to work and are not allowed to finish high school or some even middle school.  They have faced many pains over the years as they have desperately tried to hang on to their culture.  They are a warm, loving people who are slow to trust because of the atrocities that have befallen them – but they are so grateful when we come and just share our love and our time with them. 

Our mission will be to go and help them through vacation bible school, construction, adult bible study, ministry, sports camps, senior center visits, community nights. to talk about the transforming power of Jesus Christ and so much more.  Just being able to be the hands and feet of Christ is enough to reach these people and show them God’s love. 

I hope that you will join me on the journey.  Given the nature of the trip, there are many things that can’t be accomplished without your support.  I would be so honored if you would work alongside me prayerfully and financially.  I so need your prayers during this trip, as does the rest of our mission team.  Please begin to pray that as a team we follow God’s will, for the people of Pueblo Pintado and that when it is time for us to go, we will be prepared for experiences that our eyes and our hearts have never experienced.  Along with prayer, I also need to raise $800 per person to cover my transportation, room and board. 

If you are willing to give sacrificially, either with prayer or financial support, please fill out the enclosed card and mail it back in the self-address stamped envelope.  If you chose to give financially, please make your checks out to Sugarloaf UMC. 

I am so excited to be a part of this team and I thank you for your support and for taking this journey with me. 

In the Matchless Name of Jesus Christ,

To get a feel for our work on the Mission Field in Pueblo Pintado NM might I invite you to watch our video at http://bit.ly/QS0V9 If you listen and watch with an open heart, it will change your world. To gain a glimpse of our vision visit or if your church wants to get involved with our work visit   http://www.hiscpa.com/blog/2009/07/30/casting-a-vision-navajo-family-missions-taking-christianity-into-the-world/

We feel led to take Christ to the Navajo Nation (approximately the size of West Virginia). We are looking to take our model of service to the Navajo in Pueblo Pintado by partnering with churches, Bible Study Groups, Rotary, Chambers of Commerce and Kiwanis and then branching out to other locations on the reservation.

The Inspiration Series

We are all faced with obstacles, disappointments and failures in our lives and we are continually seeking ways to overcome life’s challenges.  We get mired in the day-to-day and forget that through God, all things are possible, by the knowledge and faith in God’s word. As you read along you will see how to persevere through untold tragedies, how to accomplish great things in God’s name and how to live your life the way God always intended. The Inspiration Series will show how, through prayer and being “still”, to discern God’s immutable will for their lives. Sharing the stories of how ordinary people like you and me can do great things through God’s providence, guiding us to see how God is divinely in control of our lives and that God’s discipline is the tool God uses as an act of love, making us more like him.  All books in The Inspiration Series are to be used to develop Bible study handbooks, speaking engagements and a series for children as well.

The Inspiration Series is for those who are just stepping out in their faith to those who have been seeking God’s will all their lives.  It will touch those who are lost, frustrated, who feel insignificant and show them that God has a purpose for them and needs each and every one of us to fulfill his perfect will.  It is for readers who are looking to deepen their relationship with Christ and further seek to overcome life’s challenges God’s way.  It will help all readers to learn how to discern God’s will and do his calling and not that of their own.

At present, there is not a book that is in direct competition with The Inspiration Series as we strive to better see God’s will, defining moments, and His destiny for our lives. You will be able to look to these works as a guide and prayer bringing fresh revelations predominantly by the study of the Old Testament discovering the love and grace of our God rather than his condemnation. Come along as you discover a God who is your Abba Father who will never forsake or desert you. As you read you will gain confidence with easy to follow applications and actionable guidelines to help you accomplish the best for your life.

In life as we grow in both knowledge and wisdom we are able to witness people in both the best and worst of times. I have seen many friends and associates soar well beyond what they had originally seen as limiting factors. I enjoy and relish being able to make a difference in the lives of others.

Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s is the first of the series and A Voice of One follows.

Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s

God’s Way of Overcoming Obstacles in Your Life
The First Volume of John Dillard’s Inspiration Series

The walk of a believer is often fraught with trials and tribulations leading to both defeat and victory. Life’s tragedies, your personal 9/11’s come into our lives seemingly in waves as we face obstacles, which both challenge our confidence and test our faith. Time stood still as the towers fell on that fateful day on September 11, 2001 and lives all over the world were changed forever and the world as we knew it would never be the same.  It is only by the power of an almighty God that we are to persevere.

As tragedy befalls our life, God shares his wisdom with us so we might overcome the world. By leaning on him in the darkness that befalls us, we are able to rise above circumstances that otherwise might cripple our lives. There will be times when you will feel abandoned by all those about you who choose to criticize rather than support and encourage you. We all need a “safe place to fall,” a family member or a brother or sister in Christ who will comfort us in our time of need. Come along one man’s journey as he loses it all becoming both mentally and physically challenged at every turn discovering God never leaves his side and indeed believes in him even during his darkest times. God has a unique calling on our lives and it is through Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s we are able to become more like him.

“Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.”
Isaiah 57:14

A Voice of One

Accomplishing God’s Special Mission for Your Life
The Second Volume of John Dillard’s Inspiration Series

You alone are uniquely positioned to achieve God’s vision for your life. A God who knows the number of the very hairs on your head has a great purpose only you can accomplish. Learn how one man, Nehemiah, made a difference in the lives of many. Seeking God’s will each and every step of the way, Nehemiah prayerfully seeks to rebuild the walls, which protect the city of Jerusalem and her people.

Nestled deep in the Bible’s Old Testament lived an ordinary man who steps out to accomplish great things in God’s name. Leaving the safety of his position as the cupbearer to the king of Babylon, Nehemiah puts himself into harm’s way exposing himself to enemies who scheme and purpose to see him fail. Overcoming each and every obstacle, Nehemiah’s destiny is to rebuild Jerusalem’s city’s walls that were essential for the nation’s very survival.

The remnant of Israel had been in exile and was beginning to return to the Promised Land only to find the land of their forefathers in disarray. Jerusalem’s city walls lay in ruin exposing her to enemies who would threaten the nation’s very existence. Following the burden God lays on his heart Nehemiah rebuilt the city’s walls in just fifty-two days. Leading the way, Nehemiah asks for assistance from those who can help him the most and prayerfully develops a team unifying them to accomplish a miraculous feat.

Prayerfully, Nehemiah sets out and quietly brings together the whole of the Jewish nation. Finding doomsayers at every turn, Nehemiah overcomes each and every obstacle and builds, brick by brick, the ramparts that will protect the city from her foes. Never deterred in his vision, Nehemiah continues developing a coalition uniting a people giving them leadership and a clear vision and ultimately rededicating the city and its people to God.

Nehemiah never falters and never sways from his mission. God has a special plan for your life and a reward at its end. We serve a God who wants only the best for you and your life. Ask and act boldly to serve and to do great things in God’s name!

“A Voice of One calling: ‘In the desert prepare the way for the LORD;
make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God’”

Duluth GA CPA on Missions: Do You Want a Good Week or to Make a Difference in People’s Lives…Taking Christianity Into the World

God asks us to excel in all things. As a Believer I think that requires us to do our very best at work, school, home, chores and essentially everywhere we go every second of the day. However there is perhaps no greater calling than when we tells others the good news of Jesus Christ. For the last three years my family and I have been blessed to serve the Navajo People. There is no greater calling, than laying down our lives and seeing to the needs of others. In answering this call, we first sought to be bold in our faith and to excel at all levels of our trip. When Jesus summed up the Bible he told us to love others as we love ourselves and to love our Lord with all our heart and mind. It was to this end we set out to SERVE the wonderful and blessed people and our Native Americans the Navajo.

One of our first mission goals was not to have a great week, but to have a great relationship. We began to search out the multitudes of ways we might encourage, walk with, support and befriend our new best friends. To this end, we seek to see others as God sees them with all the love and joy in our hearts, with no hold backs and without reserve. There is no greater joy than when we reach out to others in His name. I just received this note from our primary contact, Arnold,  who lives there on the reservation. The words speak to themselves of the love that has been poured out on God’s people the Navajo. I am blessed and honored to have served alongside you and look forward to higher heights still as we broaden and deepen our love for these incredible people.

Will I don’t know how the Lord got us together, many thanks in having  my family with you for a week and taking care of them. You two have a good heart in people and friends from the wonderful story and information I have heard from others when I picked them up at the airport (Monday) and the wonderful church and people they meet at your church.
