It's Sunday morning and we just got word back from one of our prayer support churches that they want to throw in $350!
That puts us at 6 out of the 10 spots covered! Over halfway and we still have 2 days left. In a little over 2 days we have had $2100 come in.
I'm getting God bumps!

This Could Get Exciting-$3500 by Tuesday #3
All right, it's Saturday afternoon...one day after first posting...and we're half way there!!!!
Since yesterday morning we have had $1700 donated.
Today we had an old high school friend and good friend in Houston join the team to make the phone calls happen.
We're still have a long way to go but we have a couple of churches that are going to bring it up.
God is really cool.

This Could Get Exciting- $3500 by Tuesday
Hey guys, the 35,000 phone calls begin Tuesday. These are the calls that will basically kick-off The Crossbridge Community Church with the simple statement: "There is a new church forming in your area, for more information press 8." If statistics hold true, 150-200 people will press the #8 and from that we will begin gathering the core group for the new church!
The only problem is the church that we were hoping was going to donate the money to help pay for the phone calls, does not look like they are going to be able to help.
So we have to very quickly start looking for other funding sources!
We're looking for 10 businesses, small groups, churches, or individuals to donate $350.
We are also gathering groups of 10, so if you could donate $35 we'll put you together with 9 other people to form a group.
We'll keep you updated on the number of groups we've gathered and how close we are to the goal through the weekend and the first of next week.
And then next week we'll start letting you know about what God did with the phone calls.
Just think, you could quite honestly be a huge part of starting The Crossbridge Community Church.
Dontate here at the website http://www.themoviechurch.com/ or go straight to the donation page https://www.donation-net.net/donation/donation1.cfm?dn=1153&source=8&CFID=6198017&CFTOKEN=57346609
Can we find the 10 giving units by Tuesday- this could be exciting.

Rebecca's Driver License
Rebecca went to get her Texas driver license switched to a Tennessee license yesterday. This process is an incredible ordeal because the same place does reinstatement of DL's and apparently there are quite a few of my fellow TN rednecks that lose their licenses. All that said Rebecca was waiting for over 3 hours. But as God often does, He used the situation for her to meet someone. The guy beside her started talking, and it turns out that he and his family are new to the area. They felt that God wanted them to move from Florida to Nashville for a reason but they haven't figured out why yet. (Does anybody else get that funny feeling like I get when I heard this?)
After a couple of hours of talking, Rebecca found out that they also have 4 kids, his wife homeschools, and they are strong Christians. She told him all about The Crossbridge and he was very interested and asked lots of questions.
At the end of their conversation, Rebecca gave him our email and asked if his wife could email us and touch base about homeschooling.
We're waiting now for that email and praying that God is going to do something really cool with this "random" meeting.

I've had several real encouraging calls since the newsletter went out.
A friend in St. Louis is coming down to see us next month (we're praying that they like Nashville so much that they will stay and help us start the church.)
A friend from Atlanta called and said that the design company he works for is going to design a cool portable stage set for our Children's area at the theater and do all the work for FREE. I love free. The company that he works for has done some really cool stuff, check it out at http://www.sgstudios.org/.
Also the friend from Atlanta said his wife has done a lot of fund raising for local charities and she's praying about how she can take some of the techniques she used in fundraising for charities and apply that to raising money for The Crossbridge!
God is still surprising us ever day.
