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

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 flowing2 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.

Lilburn/Tucker/Duluth GA CPA Answers the Question: What Can I Do to Serve on a Mission Trip?…Taking Christianity Into the World

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Lilburn/Tucker/Duluth GA CPA Answers the Question: What Can I Do to Serve on a Mission Trip?…Taking Christianity Into the World 

All too frequently Satan will put doubts into our minds about how we all can possibly do on a mission trip. I have learned over the years that for all that this is a natural and normal reaction to missions. Though it is by our overcoming our fears, leaning on God and resting in the faith of Him, that we can be most like him. 

God has a place for all to serve. Whether you greet people at the door, hand someone a sandwich or hammer a nail, God can use all to do His bidding and in so doing, fulfill our destiny. God has greatness designed for you and your life and He is calling you yet closer still. Below is a sample expert that I might use to share with those we serve with illustrating that if you can help coordinate and buy groceries for a mission trip, that your efforts will be invaluable to the overall efforts of the team: 

Just sitting here seeking to learn what God would have us do in the desert of NM and there is a great leadership role that you could make a huge difference. 

Might you consider arriving two days early on the trip to assist those who will be buying food for the entire group. Of course the menu would already be selected and even your involvement in the coordination of ensuring that the food suppliers in advance have our list, have the items pulled and ready.  

We have been buying most of the food the last two years from either the Costco in Albuquerque or the Wal-Mart in Grants and often both. 

In His Name

Norcross/Tucker CPA on Taking Christianity Into the World…Being the Hands & Feet of Jesus Christ: WWJD

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Norcross/Tucker CPA on Taking Christianity Into the World…Being the Hands & Feet of Jesus Christ: WWJD 

Serving on a Family Mission Trip 

Having served on a Family Mission Trip for six years 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. 

Just this past year we have had three members from the Reservation visit here, been asked to be the Godparents of one of those we served, added adult Bible Study, deepened relationships with the seniors 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 several times with others and the predominant thoughts of our talks are our journey on the reservation. Also this past week to discuss the best way/options 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 and to present God’s word. 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. 

One of our team members recently suggested and we are going a theme that “He (God) Knows My Name.” 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 to have a 3 Day Fast as we prepare for our mission. We would like to invite churches at large to join all people going on missions and would like to invite all as we prepare our minds, hearts and souls as we prepare to be the very hands and feet of Christ. 

As this is a family trip for us 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. I believe what makes this group unique is the people of God, which is the lifeblood of our trip who lay the world aside and focus on what God would have them do. 

I believe that the church model that I see that meets the most success is when mission members  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. 

This trip has grown from the first year to when almost fifteen of us went to almost five times that number going this year. I feel that as long as God calls that I should and can do all that I might to make sure that all “find a seat at the table.” 

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 all that are called, serve. 

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. For whether we go to two locations for two weeks in New Mexico, I believe that all that are called should serve. 

I challenge you today to do what you might in your church, your community, your school and your work place to see what you can do to be a light of the gospel and to join us as we are 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.

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

Monday, March 1st, 2010

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/

Atlanta CPA Firm Presents Meeting Notes/Minutes for Navajo Family Missions…Taking Christianity Into the World

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Atlanta CPA Firm Presents Meeting Notes/Minutes for Navajo Family Missions…Taking Christianity Into the World 

For those of you who weren’t at the meeting on Sunday, here are a few highlights of what we covered.  If you haven’t turned in your interest slips, please reply to this e-mail with the info needed. 

  • Opening prayer and thoughts from John: 

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” John 14:12-14  Jesus encourages us in our faith to do even greater things than He did. Imagine it, for a moment, let the thought sink in. The King of the Universe and the Creator of All, Abba Father tells us that we can do great things in His name. We are further encouraged by the Apostle Paul, to be bold in our Faith living up to the destiny and calling on our lives. Each and every one of you who have felt the call to go on this trip has great things that you will each do, as you serve the Navajo people and each other, by being the very hands and feet of Jesus Christ.

  • Trip theme:  becoming a true part of their culture – learning their ways, their crafts, their ways of worship, etc.
  • Introduction of team leaders
  • Tommy & Julie will be helping with leading the trip (complaint department :)
  • Sports Camp will be merged with Bugs 4 Christ to form “Teen Outreach” to be led by John Dillard, Tommy, Kevin and John (we will be placing a lot of our focus on teen outreach this year)
  • Group travel will be offered if we have more than 10 people interested in group travel (which we currently do)
  • Handouts:  Interest slip, areas of service – we will try and put you where you desire to be but please be flexible as you may not get your first choice
  • On March 14th, we will be hosting a “Raising Individual Funds” class that will explore raising individual funds for your mission trip.  We will have personal testimonies, support, encouragement and creative ways to raise money to help you pay for your trip.  This is open to the entire church.
  • We will be working very hard to establish a “worship team” to coordinate with our spiritual leader (John Dillard) and create a morning and evening worship service that will guarantee that we take time out of our busy schedule to reflect, rejoice, refresh.
  • If you happen to have a child in Student Life who has been or is going on a mission trip, you know the rules for them to go on the trips – they are required to be at the team meetings. I know most of us are adults on this trip but the rules are the same.  Team meetings are essential not only to the planning of the trip, but coming together as a true team and getting to know each other.  We have exceptions and will handle those on a one on one basis but PLEASE try and make each meeting.  We cover A LOT of material in each meeting and notes can’t be sent out after each one.
  • Deposits are due March 1st.  We have set our team number at 60 people and currently have over 75 interested so please make sure your deposits and forms are in by March 1st.
  • We will have encouragement/prayer partners this year.  We will draw names next meeting and please keep these names secret – we will reveal them our last night on the reservation.  We can discuss further at next meeting.
  • In honor of Penny, we will be continuing her book fair this year so please hang on to any books (children, teen, adult) as well as magazines (that are appropriate) ;)
  • Prayer squares – these will be presented to us as we near departure, please hang on to these and they will be collected to make a blanket.
  • Please add service projects to the areas of interest as we need a leader who will take this on and work with Nathan to determine projects.
  • The attachment to this e-mail is an interest slip and areas of service.  If you haven’t turned yours in yet, please look over the areas that you think would be of interest to you and reply to my e-mail with the following information:  Your first, second and third interest choices, your t-shirt size and whether or not you are interested in group travel plus any other information that you think would be helpful (musician, artist, cook, etc.)  (I need separate information for each member of your family.
  • Upcoming dates: March 4-6 Centering Prayer (information sent out earlier)

                                    March 14th at 4:00 – Raising Individual Funds for your mission trip

                                    March 21st – Team meeting Town Hall after 2nd service

This is going to be an awesome trip for all of us but it does require a lot of planning, flexibility, patience and understanding.  Please keep this trip, the team members and you and your family in deep prayer as we move forward in preparing for this trip.

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

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

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

Recently I received an inquiry from an individual whom I have met on a previous trip to the Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico. I believe it is be our joint efforts that we can most efficiently partner to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and it is to then end, I forwarded the below resposne: 

I definitely remember our meeting on the reservation in the rain at Whithorse as we enjoyed drops of joy/rain from heaven… 

We are planning on being there for a week on July 10th.  

We are looking for ways to bring the community together and believe that perhaps by our joint service on the same week that we might have the impetus to spread revival throughout the reservation.

We are looking for groups throughout America to speak to with the stated goal of: 

-Encouraging Individual Family Involvement of Members of Your Group.

-Introductions to other Civic and Bible Study Groups, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Concerned Citizens and Faith Based Group.

Atlanta CPA Seeking Christian Musician to Join us on Family Mission Trip to Serve Our Native Americans: the Navajo/Dine…Taking Christianity Into the World

Atlanta CPA Seeking Christian Musician to Join us on Family Mission Trip to Serve Our Native Americans: the Navajo/Dine…Taking Christianity Into the World

We have so many youth on the reservation that we are not reaching and I’ve been in constant prayer for ways for us to connect with them and share with them.  They have so few role models (especially males) and while we do a really great VBS and a really great women’s bible study, we are not hitting the right spot when it comes to the teens and the teenage years are when they need it most. I am seeking a Christian Musician who loves the Lord, who wants to serve others who will be willing to offer music lessons of all types to our Navajo children.

I am putting together some promotional materials to send out to the reservation and want to put your ministry on there as well.  I ask that you pray and see if God leads you to serve alongside us on the Reservation the second week of July, 2010.

I invite you to join us as the many faces of Pueblo Pintado as we seek to Worship, Grow and Serve our Most High God. In the Matchless Name of Jesus Christ, I pray….

Atlanta CPA Tells How to Unleash the Power of Jesus Christ in Your Life…Taking Christianity Into the World

Atlanta CPA Tells How to Unleash the Power of Jesus Christ in Your Life…Taking Christianity Into the World

It is often said that the last words of a man are his most important. Those are the ones that he wants you to hear the most.

When Jesus left this world just before His ascension into Heaven, he exhorted us to go into the world and tell others the Good News of Salvation and to be a witness to others. I believe there is no greater way to call on the power of an Almighty God than during your times of service to Him. I have personally watched both within my own family and in others who are changed, as God’s power flows through their pores and out into the roads and byways of life to be redeemed and reformed creatures of God. Not changed as the world sees them, but changed as God sees them and uses them to reign down His power in their lives.

Worship, Grow, And Serve.  These are not just the motto of our church, but also the very words by which Jesus led his life. In Pueblo Pintado we seek to edify and mimic his life as He was the example we are to emulate. Though the New Testament tells us that Jesus did go to church, it was out in the world that He emulated his Father in Heaven.

In the desert of New Mexico we have nailed our sins to the cross, had foot washings and celebrated the power and majesty of Jesus with the joy of service and with most importantly our hearts.

Jesus told us that it is indeed our brothers and sisters in Christ who will become our family. On every mission trip I have attended there is a moment in time when it becomes obvious to all, that God is indeed the perfector of our faith and the reason for our journey. There on the reservation we all sweat through the efforts of our work, labored for good, and served our Glorious Savior.

There is only one who is committed to you not serving on a mission trip and he will do anything that he can to destroy you and his name is Satan. Do not let the evil one get in your way of God blessing you in ways that are beyond your wildest imagination. No matter where you are on your Spiritual Walk, whether a New Believer or Old, Missions and seeking to serve Beyond our Walls is the mark of an impassioned Believer on fire for the Kingdom of God. Many of us, if not all of us have frequently asked “What Can I Do on a Mission Trip, What Do I Have to Offer, or What Can I Say to Encourage Others?”

When Jesus looks about for those to serve, He does not call the equipped but rather He chooses to equip the Called. In this way, God can gain all of the glory for it is only when we humble and lower ourselves that God can be truly exalted. Whether your family is a family of one or of many, whether married, single, widowed or single again, God has a destiny and a plan for you and your life. In Pueblo Pintado we are committed to helping you discover what God has called YOU to be as we seek to Serve the The Lost, the Last and the Least. 

Whether you see yourself as shy or bold, can sign, read, cook,  hold a hammer, talk to kids or not, Pueblo Pintado and Missions holds a unique opportunity and key to unlock the Power of God in Your Life. Though Missions Start at Home, in your workplace or in your school, God has a destiny or you and your life. Join us as we Seek to Glorify God Together.

As we close, I would like to invite all who have ever served on a Pueblo Pintado Mission Trip to stand as both a testimony to their service and so that you might capture a bit of their vision God has revealed to them and their life.

I invite you to join us as the many faces of Pueblo Pintado as we seek to Worship, Grow and Serve our Most High God. In the Matchless Name of Jesus Christ, I pray….
