Impact Georgia Update

I spoke to a lawyer today about getting Impact Georgia declared as a non-profit organization! Looks like it will be a lot of work, take a lot of time, and cost a lot of money. I would like to ask you to start praying that God would provide for us and help us get started! It's important for us to get this done so we can start accepting donations and get ready for camp in March.

So far we have started a (temporary) website and are currently working on some promotional things.  My friend Courtney is helping us out with marketing using her stellar graphic design skills.  We are also working hard on many behind-the-scenes items.

Right now, we are really just asking for your prayers! We have a lot to do, but we are trusting God to lead us every step!

One Phone Call

Have you had one thing in your life that made all the difference? For me, it was a phone call. Almost four years ago, my youth minister John Mark gave me a phone number. I called that number and left a message asking about a summer worship leader position at a camp. That person called me back, and we started talking about it. That person was Impact Florida's Executive Director, Chad, who is now one of my greatest friends and mentors.

For the last four summers, I have spent at least some amount of time in Orlando working with Impact Florida. While there, I have made many lasting friendships and had some of the most memorable moments of my life.

In 2008, while finishing up a summer in Florida, my friend Matt said to me "Kevin, one day I think you and I are going to work together. I don't think this is the end for us." Two years later, standing outside a 7-11, we talked about a vision for making that possible. We decided to take a leap of faith and make it our goal to expand Impact's mission beyond Orlando.

Sometimes God creates profound moments when we least expect it. I never could have dreamed that one phone call would make such a difference. Because of that, Matt and I are making plans to start Impact in the city of Atlanta, GA. We are currently working toward having camp as soon as March 2011. It's crazy, and without faith in God, it will be impossible. But God does not call us to what's easy... He calls us to what brings Him glory. What an honor to be used for His glory!

Journey of Character

Today I just want to share a blog written by someone I respect a lot. Some people say they want to improve their character, but never do anything about it. Sarah is not one of those people. Her courage and faith in God have inspired me. Check it out!
