Local Mission Initiatives

Local – Each Wednesday night you can join me at Empowering Life Christian Church in downtown Atlanta for Bible Study.  We are currently studying, “Experiencing God” by Henry Blackaby. The church is sponsored by the GA Baptist Convention and UACP (http://www.urbanatlantachurchplanting.com).  The pastor is Greg Sinkfield.  We meet from 6:30-8:30 pm.  The address is; 1284 Joseph E. Boone Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30314.

Apartment Life – Each month I take a team of people inside the I-285 perimeter to work with a Apartment Life Cares Team (www.apartmentlife.org), as they desire to minister to people in apartments.  This ministry uses social events, (Pancake Breakfast, Dinner Club, Book Club, Pool Parties, etc) to build witnessing relationships with the apartment tenants. It is such an easy ministry but very effective to reach people for Christ. There are currently 33 ALCT in Atlanta; they have team in all types of apartment complexes from lower to upper class areas of town.  Much of this ministry involves activity around food, setting up, cooking, serving and of course cleaning up.  As the volunteers manage the food component of the event or Apartment Life Cares Team have the freedom to focus on the people coming to the event.  The initially engage them to build a relationship with them. They also host a Bible study in their apartment each week. At the last event I volunteered at we saw 10% of the apartment complex attend the event.

We are working with 7 Bridges to Recovery, as they reach out to the homeless and abandoned in Atlanta. They currently house 65 women & 35 children at the shelter and we try to take a meal once a month for them. Also we participate in the, "Day in the Street" ministry where we take sack lunches and minister to the homeless on the streets of Atlanta.
