A Church in Jonesboro

As many of you might know we have been traveling to Jonesboro every week to preach the Gospel. Because of the incredible miracles that the Lord has been doing it has become increasingly necessary to plant a full fledged church in the Jonesboro area. Our first service will be on Dec. 14th in the Keystone apartment community center at 11:00am.

The Lord has done some incredible things even to the point of sending another family all the way from Winston-Salem, NC to help with the church plant.

If you know anyone that would like to come and help us minister to the poor in South Atlanta please contact us at daviddixon at zionjudah . com

We can give you more details and directions when you email us.

What about the Congo?
If you are familiar with our family you know about our desire to return as missionaries into Central Africa. Some might be asking, why continue planting a church in Jonesboro when you have plans to return to the Congo? The short of it is that God is providing a way for the work in Jonesboro to continue after we leave and there is no reason to quit ministering to people there in the mean time.

Teams of people are regularly coming down from the church in Woodstock and helping us to minister in Jonesboro. May of these people have been doing this type of ministry for years. Our Church's focus has been to equip the saints for the work of the ministry and these teams are just one of the many manifestations of that vision. Our pastors, Marc and Ryan Lawson have been equipping "regular ole saints" to think, breath and sleep the Kingdom of Heaven. For some awesome stories about this click on the Kingdom Power link on the side bar. There is no doubt in my mind that this work will continue long after we are gone.

Another awesome turn of events happened several months ago, maybe even longer. The Lord began speaking to a couple in North Carolina, Paul and Renee Erby, to move to Jonesboro and partner with NorthGate Church. Paul and his family have made several trips and are in the process of moving. They really have a heart for evangelism and have been involved in past church plants in North Carolina. We look forward to their move and hope it can happen soon.

We knew that we had heard from the Lord about timing for returning to Africa but we also knew we couldn't just abandon the work that was already in progress in Jonesboro.
Until the time comes for us to attend the school in Mozambique we will be working together with the teams in our church to continue to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Jonesboro GA. Faith and I strongly believe that we should continue ministry while raising support for our future work in Central Africa. Please pray that we will see a mighty harvest in Jonesboro. God's hand has truly been on the work and we want it to continue.

Thank you and God bless
