Philippians 4:4-13 (New International Version)
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Thanks for Their Gifts
10I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

I am currently sitting in a hospital room while my wife Melissa recovers from surgery. Praise God the surgery went well and she should have a quick recovery. Thank you to everyone for you prayers, visits, phone calls and support. We appreciate it.
This passage is a powerful passage that helps us to understand to reflect, rejoice and be thankful. It is so easy to get caught up in the stresses of life or at times feel we deserve something. But The Word says to Rejoice! to be Thankful! When we truly reflect about our lives, we can see we have so much to be thankful for.
I am very thankful for a sweet compassionate loving wife. Melissa is my best friend and a gift from God! We our both thankful that God has supplied us financially to pay off all of our debt. We give thanks for a wonderful family and also the call of God, especially to plant New Destiny Community Church and reach our community for Jesus!

New Destiny Community Church update
Melissa and I would like to thank Pastor Gunn and Lake Wylie Christian Assembly for everything– how you have been such a blessing to us. We know God has so much for us and for New Destiny Community Church. LWCA has blessed us and poured into our lives and we are thankful.
We would like to give an update:
• New Destiny Community Church is an officially AG Church as of April 1, 2009.
• New Destiny Community Church has its own bank account.
• New Destiny Community Church has an account with NC District for those who prefer to give through District. We are considered a Home Missions Church.
• On June 20th, we had our first launch team meeting in our home. Three families were represented. In the last few months, we had been meeting bi weekly and just recently we began to meet most weeks. We know God knows who is to team up with us as we continue this journey.
• This past August, I was blessed to go to General Council and be at Church Planting Seminar/luncheon.
• North Carolina District had a Church Planter retreat this past August 14 & 15 headed by Church Planting Director Jim Kelly. Melissa and I were blessed to take part and meet many other church planters around North Carolina.
• In July, we ministered at Kershaw Men’s Prison twice. Scott Vernon has answered The Call to lead the Ministry of Kershaw Men’s Prison with me and be the Contact/Leader at LWCA as Melissa and I transition to New Destiny. We led a large group July 25th with John Perkins leading worship. Over 20 made decisions for Jesus in July!
• Melissa has been holding a women’s Bible Study on Monday Nights over the last few months.
• We have one other confirmed church supporting us: Faith Assembly Orlando.
• We have had 10 families/ministries give financial support.
• New Destiny has a blog (online newsletter) that we are updating at least once every 2 weeks.
• Melissa and I have visited 13 local churches on Wednesday/Sundays to fellowship/meet other ministers over the last 8 months.
• We received $1000 GPH credit Grant from BGMC.
• We applied for STL grant (possible $3500). We are currently on waiting list for missions projects.
• We applied for NC District Endowment. This has been approved per church planting director Jim Kelly. Thank you NC District and Church Planting Director Jim Kelly!
• Received information from East Lincoln High School regarding renting facility. We are looking at this possibility initially and then possibly renting store front.
• Melissa and I are receiving regular Church Plant Coaching from a national revitalization coach.
• In May and then again in September, I met with Rev. Randall Rogers from NC District regarding Financial/Legal/Administrative issues in planting a church. I was given much wise counsel and resources (manuals). We have continued to stay in contact via phone and email.
- In September, we had the opportunity to be a part of the Denver Days festival. Our worship team, led by Carey Sisk played for Gospel Night of Denver Days on the Wednesday Night and then we had a vendor booth set up for the festival on the Friday night and Saturday.
- Over the last couple of months, we have given out over a 150 New Destiny? t-shirts. We are thankful to the many people who gave toward Denver Days (including t-shirts).
- This past week, we recieved our incorporation documentation. New Destiny is now a non profit - incorporation!
- In December, we plan to help with the Denver Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting. We already registered to be one of the event sponsors.
- Just recently, we began to advertise in the news@lakenorman newspaper.
- We plan to apply for AG Matching Grant in next couple of weeks.
Our main focus is partnership: recruiting people to be committed to praying for us and New Destiny Community Church, workers – both core team (leadership) and launch team (those who would assist us in launching New Destiny), and yes, more financial partners (churches and individuals). In the next few weeks, we plan to begin to set more detailed timeline for public launch (renting a facility). New Destiny needs help to continue to launch healthily and effectively. We know God is our source. He knows those who are to team up with us. He has all the resources and finances. He knows those we are to reach. It is all for Him!
Once again, thank you Pastor Gunn and LWCA. We appreciate you being our parent church sponsor and our main covering of authority and guidance.

The Call to Persevere! (devotional)
November 3, 2009
The Call to Persevere!
Text
Leviticus 26:3 - 5
3 " 'If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, 4 I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.
God is so good to us! He has dreams, huge plans, blessings and a harvest for us. I get full of excitement of how God is preparing New Destiny Community Church. But at the same time I often begin to think of how I would like to see the full blue print with all the details. Or the full movie script in detail rather than just the movie trailer. But God would tell us to trust Him. He wants us to lay all fear and everything that would keep us from walking in faith and trust in Him down at His feet.
Often when we do not think any fruit is coming from our labors, God is growing and preparing us. When seeds are planted (properly), we will see a harvest.
