Tomorrow morning I'm headed to New Jersey, by way of Atlanta and Philadelphia. I will be speaking at a church near Atlantic City about our new community center and asking for their prayers for the month of September. We are asking individuals and churches across the nation to be in prayer each Sunday in September as we move forward with our project. The huge news today is that we have been APPROVED for our loan! It has been a long process but God has been at work and we are now able to move forward with the project.

Please pray for the trip to New Jersey to be fruitful and relaxing. We have had a crazy week here and with our ground breaking next week the fast pace is going to continue. I will have some time on Monday to tour Philadelphia, and while I won't be able to get to NYC, I am looking forward to enjoying my first visit to the east coast outside of Washington, D.C. I'll post photos as soon as I am able.
