Jobs: Esther & I are desperately searching for jobs. Why? Well, we have decided that we must be self sufficient is this church planting climate. We want to be able to do, instead of just getting by. Will you pray with us?

Projects: a huge meeting takes place today concerning our Easter project. We also have a project on the table for O4W’s children that can be life changing to some degree. We also need you to join with us in praying that as we serve O4W we multiply.

Resources: with only a few days left in the week. We REALLY need your help with financial support. Do you know someone who could write a check today for 500.00, 1000.00 or more? We need at least 6000.00 by the end of the week!!! For what? A portion is for our support, for our projects & for the business of peculiarplace. Will you give? Will you pray?

My family: we have been hit in our health consistently the last few weeks & could really use your prayers as we believe God for healing & divine health as we venture to do what God has called us to do.

Peculiarplace: as we are less than 8 months away from launching a new thing in Old Fourth Ward we could use your prayers! We need everything anyone starting a new church needs, finances, PEOPLE, ideas, creatives, location & your PRAYERS. we are believing God to show us exactly how to make Jesus famous through the way we LIVE, LOVE, & GIVE!!

According to Matt 18:19-20 AGREEMENT is crucial and an important element in a successful prayer life, we are asking you to be in agreement with us concerning these these things. And if you can give, give.

Thank you!!

Why?

Because of the 14 plus thousand residents that call Historic Old Fourth Ward, O4W, home 80% do NOT attend church regularly, if at all!!

Because 80% comes to over 11,000 people, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, teachers, CEO’s, friends, neighbors, nurses that would spend an ETERNITY in Hell! If that don’t move you then I’m not sure what will.

Because we are not simply starting a church, but our DESIRE & PRAYER is to build, transform a community with Christ as the HEAD. to be an example for other communities that call Atlanta home.

Because O4W is an extremely diverse community which gives a great chance to create a church/ community that resembles Heaven!

As missionaries it is our responsibility to BE a part of this community, to BE good neighbors, to BE the LIGHT, to BE the church & to BE THE ONLY JESUS THAT OUR NEIGHBORS MAY EVER KNOW! and in order to do that WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Pray about it. Then GO!

Imagine what two less Starbucks fixes a week, one less lunch out a week or drink or two less at the bar or club could do for us, the future of peculiarplace, this community and the Kingdom of God!!

The game plan is coming together. I have, for months, been deliberating with myself, God, team and myself again about “our next steps”. Well, God wins and I lose. We are about to do something really BIG for Christmas. BIG as far as im freakin concerned!!! LOL! A website will be popping up very soon to explain, but lets just say we are going to bless some people for Christmas. I just have to rent some scooters!!! I have to figure that part out still.

Finally made contact with the owners of our dream venues. Hoping to wrap that up before the end of the year. I really, Lord, want these two venues. Hear my cry!!! Downtown, and Underground Atlanta will never be the same, EVER!!!

March will be here before we know it, so much to do! Looking for inroads to GSU. Need to reach out to the students there!!!

Did I mention that I hate raising financial support? Yet, I am getting out of God’s way and asking the question, Will You Support What God Wants to Do in Downtown Atlanta, and Surrounding Communities? Hint: I am asking you, yeah you, right now!!! Email me: lloyd.owens@gmail.com and I will tell you how you can!!! God has not given me a vision that He will not provide for, but it is through you that His provision WILL come!

More to come…

I had to link to this really good interview post from his site today, i am sure i am not the only one who needs this info!!!
