Alpharetta CPA Encouraging Atlanta Believers to Trust in Your Future…Taking Christianity Into the World

I have learned that though the world will do what it can to beat me down, I will not be deterred nor driven away from the Holy Spirit’s prompting on my life.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

As God continues to reveal His truth to my heart and mind. I am constantly reminded of his great desires for our lives and for us to fulfill our God given destiny. Learning new truths from scripture, I discovered God’s hand both in my life and that of others. Studying in the Old Testament in Jeremiah, we come face to face as we learn God will never forsake us or give us more than we can bear.

Norcross/Tucker/Lilburn CPA Presents 7’s heart: Seeking to Serve Christ in All Ways…Taking Christianity Into the World 

Serving/Feeding the Homeless of Atlanta: Serving the Least, the Lost and the Last 

Word for the week: Strength In Weakness. Matt 20:20-28        

No one wants to be weak, so we find ways to appear strong. Some of us use the force of our emotions to manipulate people. Others use the force to control people, and some use intellect to intimidate. Although these create an illusion of strength, they are signs of weakness.  When we are truly strong, we have the courage to admit our limitations and to acknowledge our dependence on God. As a result, true strength looks a lot like weakness. When the apostle Paul prayed that an affliction would be taken from him, God answered, ” My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength us made perfect in weakness.” (Cor.12:9) Paul responded with these troubling words: “when I am weak, then I am strong.” Toward the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry, some of His disciples were striving for positions of prominence. Jesus used their argument as an opportunity to teach them that we willingly assume positions of weakness ( Matt 20:26). 

This is a hard truth. I prefer the illusion of strength to  the reality of weakness. But God wants us to realize that true strength comes when we stop trying to control people and start serving them instead. Whoever decides to become great among you, let him be your servant. Matthew 20:26  

I would like to thank all the volunteers that came out to the bridges Saturday. I was touched to see so many willing hearts going and serving the last, lost, and the least. I also want to say thank you to all the volunteers that help keep Gods ministry running.  There are so many blessings being poured out and so many prayers being answered inside the ministry. Glory be to God!!! 

Oswald stated that we should not look for God to come in any particular way, but do look for him. The way to make room for him is to expect him to come, but not in a certain way.  Let God surprise you!! Live in a constant state of expectancy. Every day that God  gives you,. allow him to guide you and trust in his word because he will fulfill his promises. We are expecting God each and every day to show up and show out inside of His ministry.  Don’t put boundaries on God, especially on what is already his. Thank you for your hearts, thank you for your support, and thank you for the continual love that you pour out for this ministry. May God Bless you. 

Love, Pastor 7

Pastor 7 with 7 Bridges to Recovery is doing great things to Feed the Homeless of Atlanta while spreading the word of God. I suggest you go down and see what he is doing on the weekends to take the message to the streets of Atlanta. I believe he would be a great speaker to the whole congregation and Discipleship Groups as people are looking for opportunities to get real with their faith by being the very Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ.    You can read about his Ministry at http://www.7bridgestorecovery.org/home_page.html   We are actively involved in going and supporting Pastor 7 and the great work he is doing to Serve the Lost, the Last & the Least.

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/

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. I keep praying for my church and my pastor getting will and getting more members in our church. Again thanks for the many things you do for my family and take care, love from you brother and family.

Duluth GA CPA Seeking Mission Partners to Serve our Native Americans the Navajo

CPA Serving Tucker/Norcross/Sandy Springs Presents Pastor 7’s Heart…Serving the Homeless of Atlanta…Taking Christianity Into the World 

I would like to start this week’s email with a question…..  If you had to choose would you rather be Samson or Samuel?? “And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon , and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets. ” Hebrews 11:32 

Samson and Samuel were both very much the same and very different. Both men were judges, anointed of God to lead Israel. Both took the vow of the Nazarite. Both fought the Philistines. Both men are included in Hebrews 11 and in God’s Hall of Fame. Samson, a man of incredible physical strength, was impetuous, carnal, lustful, driven by his appetites.  In his hunger for vengeance he plead with God to destroy not only the philistines, but also his own life. By way of contrast, Samuel, a man of incredible spiritual strength, was content to let God fight his battles for him. A man powerful in the word of prayer, he lead Israel back from the worship of dead idols to the living God. Samson’s confidence was in what God had given him; Samuel’s confidence was in what God could do through him. 

 In the flesh, Samson appears more attractive to many men. Alive, confident, he boldly sought to do great things for God. On the other hand Samuel was more quiet, somewhat reclusive, available as a channel for whatever God wanted to do. Although God called Samson great, those who emulate him have a problem. If God had not placed him in his Hall of fame, Samson’s carnal lifestyle would make you wonder if he was saved. Thus, he who follows Samson’s example must wait until the judgment for affirmation; those who know and love him cannot affirm his carnality. You have a better model in Samuel. 

We are so in awe with God. All permits and contracts are signed and construction started today. I’m going to just keep allowing God to show how miraculous he is in all our lives. God is always right on time. I would like to say thank you for all your prayers, love , and support that is given.  May many blessings be poured out like a river upon your lives. God bless.

Atlanta CPA Asks…on this Valentines Day…Who Do You Love as We Are…Taking Christianity Into the World  

Lilburn/Lawrenceville/Atlanta CPA Seeks Navajo Mission Partners

Seeking Mission Partners Throughout the USA to Serve Our Native Americans, the Navajo on a Family Mission Trip…Taking Christianity Into the Word

First and foremost our trip is unique. We are a Family Mission trip. Last year our youngest was three years old, while our most senior was seventy years young. Regardless of your denomination, station, location and determination God has a great destiny for you and your life. God us on a Family Mission Trip to serve our Native Americans, the Navajo as we call on the power of an Almighty God to reign down power into the lives of those who serve.

This summer, our family has the unique opportunity to go to a Navajo Indian Reservation and serve as missionaries through our church. We are very excited, not only about the opportunity to serve our church, but to serve God and be His hands and feet while building relationships with the Navajo people. It will be a great experience to share God’s love with all the wonderful people there and the opportunity to do it as a family is a dream come true for all of us. We are so excited to also be leading the trip this year and that takes a commitment for all four of us.

Pueblo Pintado is a Navajo Indian Reservation located in the NW corner of New Mexico. It is a very desolate area and most of the residents live in poverty and most students rarely even graduate from high school. While it may seem incomprehensible in the U.S., most of the homes do not have electricity or indoor plumbing. There is a very high unemployment rate, which leads to a high rate of alcoholism, drug abuse and violent crimes. With all that being said, they are a wonderful, warm, loving group of people who are so appreciative when we go out and spend a week with them just loving on them, giving them undivided attention and a safe lap to crawl into. They are slow to trust and still stand firm to their native culture.

We will be there the week of July 12th – July 19th and hope to do vacation bible school for the children, adult bible study, construction, senior home care, sports camp, community nights and more. We hope to spend the week demonstrating God’s love through our hard work and service to the Navajo people.

We would be honored if you would consider helping us in our fundraising effort by giving of your financial support and/or prayer support. Both of them are very much appreciated and without the support of wonderful friends and family like you, these trips just wouldn’t be possible. Thank you for any help you can give us and for contributing in your own way to this wonderful mission!

In the Matchless Name of Christ,
John Dillard CPA
