Chattanooga and Sevierville Trip Recap

The past two weeks, I have been busy traveling and meeting with several pastors and organizations to share the vision of Lakepointe Church.

Two weeks ago, I flew to Chattanooga to meet with the board members of SCORE International and they plan to partner with us by donating $10,000 to Lakepointe!! They will also be providing short term mission trips to our area. This is HUGE!

Last week, me and Jared Sabo (family pastor) traveled to Sevierville, TN to meet with David May of The Lord's Child organization (a charity organization of The Gathering Church). This great organization plans to be a part of the Lakepointe's vision and will be donating $2,500 for the next year with the potential of more in the future. Also, they would like to partner with us to help clothe underprivileged children in our area. What a great opportunity!!

We also spend some time with one of my good friends, Billy and Selena Hodges. Billy used to be on staff at Marcus Pointe and is currently singing with the Kingdom Heirs Quartet. They are the "artist residence" for Dollywood.

After our visit in Sevierville, we continue our rode trip to Chattanooga (again) to visit with a wonderful pastor, Ken Duggan of Dallas Bay Baptist Church. We are so appreciative of the time that he spend with us to listen to our vision. We are excited about the possibilities to develop a continuing relationship with this great church.

The final leg of our trip was in Anderson, SC, to attend the One Conversation (not a conference) at NewSpring Church. We attended the Wednesday middle school service and the conference was on Thursday. We listened to pastor Perry Noble and the staff of the children and student ministries. If you ever passing through Anderson, SC, make sure you stop by and see this amazing facility. It's only 5 minutes off the I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte. Look for my next post as I share what we learned at this conference.
