Duluth/Johns Creek/Gwinnett CPA on Transforming Lives/Growing/Seeking God’s Best for Our Lives

Duluth/Johns Creek/Gwinnett CPA on Transforming Lives/Growing/Seeking God’s Best for Our Lives 

We are called by Christ to humble ourselves and in so doing seek to lay down our life for the needs of others. Just as Christ came to serve the world, we are called to Imitate his actions, emulate His love and join in the Body of Christ to be the very hands and feet of Jesus Christ. Join us for a weekend as we seek in Hope & Faith to be more like Him, to eliminate Fear in our lives, and to Boldly Stand Strong. 

Jesus calls us, His people, to be a light unto the world, while knowing that our power is made perfect only in His will. As we seek to fulfill God’s destiny for our lives, we find a peace that surpasses all understanding. God calls us to  listen and in order to do that our mind needs to be still and focused on our Creator, for Faith is “not in knowing that God can, but that God will.” 

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Gwinnett CPA Actively Seeking Speaking Engagements to Promote Navajo Family Missions…Taking Christianity Into the World

Monday, November 9th, 2009

Gwinnett CPA Actively Seeking Speaking Engagements to Promote Navajo Family Missions…Taking Christianity Into the World 

First, In your 11-17 meeting, if appropriate, I would welcome presenting a book written by myself entitled A Voice of One. It is about how we as ordinary people can accomplish great things in God’s name. Senator Unterman was instrumental in the process of passing the Crime Victims Act of 2008 to protect Georgia’s children. See http://www.hiscpa.com/community.htm  

Secondly, I would welcome taking to your group about our Annual Family Mission Trip to serve the Navajo people in Pueblo Pintado. Though our group is multifaceted we predominantly focus our energy and efforts on the youth. I would welcome coming in and talking to your group as we are also looking for other churches and groups to partner with. Below is a sample of the follow piece I send to invite other church and civic groups to Move God’s Message Forward. 

Navajo Family Indian Missions Video…Taking Christianity Into the World  

If a picture is worth a thousand words then perhaps this is a Million Dollar Video. I invite you to see what God is doing with Navajo Family Missions as we Take Christianity Into the World.  

I invite you to pray before you watch, that you watch with a open heart, and then that you listen to the Lion of Judah, Our God, speaking to your heart. Perhaps your family, your church, your Bible study group might join our Family Missions Work to the Navajo as we call down the power of Almighty God as we Worship, Grow and Serve Jesus Christ. See God at work at  http://bit.ly/QS0V9 If you listen and watch with an open heart, it will change your world.  

We are 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. 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.

-The prompting of the Holy Spirit (at one of our last Kiwanis Groups one of the men decided to staff the local High School with all of the football equipment they need to start a team.
