McDonald’s and God: Divine Appointments

During our last ATL (Ask the Lord), one of our Jr. High girls received a vision from God about the McDonald’s Golden Arch. She didn’t see the building, nor did she see any words, just the Arch. We really did not think too much about it because there was such little detail to the vision and McDonald’s really was not part of our plan for the day.   The afternoon we headed back to Centennial Park in Nashville for an afternoon prayer walk. We had been to this park the previous two days for various ministry opportunities. As soon as we stepped out of the van one of the kids...

Asking the Lord: The Importance of Listening in Prayer

On Monday, we went to the nursing home. We did a skit for the residents there. The skit was about the peer pressures and temptations that we go through growing up.

Today we’re working at a warehouse...

Prayer, Poverty, and New Perspectives: Nashville Mission Trip

June 20th-25th This week in Nashville God moved in a way that is so brilliant that it can only be attributed to a God as beautiful as ours. A wonderful group from Ochechobee Florida arrived on June 20th and stayed in a Nashville suburb, Smyrna. During the week we served at various locations; Nashville Rescue Mission, Thompson Station Church, La Vergne High School, People Loving Nashville, and the Downtown War Memorial. At these locations we were faced with the decay that encroaches on God’s amazing design.   As the days went on it was wonderful to see how the homeless population...
