Fun in Missouri...and other things.

A few weeks ago we went to Caruthersville, MO to celebrate a surprise birthday party for one of our supporters-Mr. Cagle. We were honored to be invited and it was a great time. The town was small and the people were extremely friendly. It's really nice to have people around the country who believe in what God is doing through us with The Impact Movement. God blessed our time there and we met a lot of nice people. He even hooked Kenley and I up with $5 roundtrip tickets on Southwest. We are rapid rewards members and it turns out we both earned a free voucher. It was great timing because our funds have been low as we've seen a lot of monthly support change over the last few months. Alas, God is still doing His thang.



Soooo....I've been trying to complete this challenge at www.rpmchallenge.com. It's something I've never done before in terms of music and it's completely new and even unrealistic to complete an album in a month, but I said-hey why not? I like challenges. Anyway, I haven't told many people but I'm attempting to record a Christian hip-hop & r&P album during the month of February. Of course that's been extremely difficult working 35-40 hours a week in the office with Impact. I love doing it, but it's draining and I've come to really understand what it means to rely on Jesus. Everything we have comes from the Father. It's been a ride, but I've learned a lot in the process as well as been stretched. We'll see what happens....Lol. Kenley has been more than encouraging during this time and I thank God for him.

I should be sleeping, but I'm not. My internal clock is off since we've been on this fund development campaign at work. We work later hours because we are in the process of getting in touch with people who's lives have been significantly impacted by the Impact Movement. For the last 3 weeks I've been helping creating videos for the team (the last one we faced much opposition, and I wasn't pleased with my work). God did His thang as usual with these videos-particularly the last one. It's funny how we see things one way and God totally uses them another way. I think it's things like that that keep us humble.

Anyway, they can be viewed on YouTube and Vimeo. We used an acronym A-C-T to encourage people to ACT in order to see the Impact Movement survive. Impact definitely changed our lives and I know many others who also had their lives changed through the Impact Movement. It would be sad to see Impact no longer exist because people didn't give towards the ministry's overall needs. It seems like everything has so much need these days. It's sad though that there's people who have more money then they'll ever need in life, yet smaller organizations that are making a positive impact in the world are being neglected.

Please pray for us during this time.
