Super Tater

In October we took a trip to Southside Baptist Church in Tyler TX to share the vision of what we were going to be doing in Nashville . Southside was our first fulltime ministry that we jumped into after seminary. They invited me to say a few words about the church plant. During the service, I shared about a 10 minute vision and then afterward the church planned a baked potatoe fundraiser for us. The whole church turned out and we had a blast visiting with everyone and catching up with each other lives. And the end of the lunch, a few men walked over to tell me how much was raised, we were excpecting a couple of hundred dollars but the total was over $2000. God is so cool. The money came in especially handy when the brakes on the trucks went out during the move to Tennessee. The brake job ended up being over $500 plus we had to stay in a hotel and all the extra food. But God had already abundantly provided for this in advance!
