Lift Info Update

Just a small update on how things are going. We are still waiting on God's timing for a full launch of the church in the Midtown area of Nashville. God is calling folks from other areas of the country to move here to assist. Praisn' God for that! Also, I will introduce more officially our Children's ministry Pastor, Billie Thompson at a later date. She is awesome. It seems that as we launch God will have provided an entire staff (non-paid, by the way) to start with. Many people that I have interviewed and all of the studies that I have done both academically and on the side, is that three problems occur when launching a church work. Everyone I speak with wishes that they had had more leaders to launch with, more solid direction, and more money. I believe that we have clear direction and focus on what needs to be done. I believe that our organization is moving in the right direction. However, it is the cash flow that is the biggest lack at this time. I do know that in God's time He will provide! Our first priority financially is the purchase of quality a/v and sound equipment. These are important components to empower the vision for downtown. Keep praying with us that funding will come in and we can move on. Love ya guys, Jory
