News from Todd & Tina Cox at StonePoint Church North GA
Summer is a Wrap and Fall is Here!!
Happy Fall everyone! It might be the season of Fall but in Georgia it is still 90 degrees. We have had a great summer and I wanted to take a minute just to share a few things with everyone and celebrate what God has been doing and ask for your prayers for our upcoming Launch.
This Summer we were blessed to host mission teams from Brister Arkansas, Sumrall Mississippi and Brownsboro & Canton, TX. Our last newsletter covered some of their projects and showed some great pictures but I wanted to just recap an
overview here quickly. These teams ministered to hundreds of families throughout North Georgia and the greater Atlanta
area. Here are some of the things they helped us accomplish this summer:
- We were able to hand out goodies to fist responders and thank them for their service.
- We volunteered over 100 hours to help an organization called SAFFT that helps support adopted and foster families.
- We volunteered over 100 hours to help an emergency assistance and food pantry facility called Th Place of Forsyth.
- We handed out over 500 door hangers to invite people to StonePoint Church.
- We assisted Missionary Boris Lebedev with a Russian Rehab facility that helps those with drug and alcohol addiction to find Christ and over come their addictions as well as his radio studio project.
- We were also able to help missionary Jamshad Hadyat with his Pakistani church (Veritcal Life Urdu) and their outreach to Muslim families.
- One team also did a local missions project for a single senior from our church that needed help with lawn care, pressure washing and repair of a deck that was rotting.
We have also had 3 Preview Services this Summer Preview Services are simply a time we can invite people to come and check us out to see what we are all about and we can have a few dress rehearsals (if you will) to work out any of the kinks before our Launch. Our Preview Services were on July 10th, August 14th, and September 11th. We had new people at each one of our Previews!! Our latest bit of great news is that the new family I mentioned back in June that started coming and leading worship for us, Dan & Nikki Thmason, were just recently approved by the Missions Office and Advisory Committee as our Associate! We are so thankful for this and for all of your prayers through this process to find the family God was leading to us for this position.
We are feverishly getting ready for our upcoming Grand Opening/Launch Sunday October 9th. Please be praying for people to come and visit and that God would do great and mighty things through our mission here in North Georgia at StonePoint Church as we reach others for Him and continue to lead them to a deeper level of discipleship and relationship with Him. Also, the afternoon after our Launch services, we will be holding our fist baptism services at the lake. Praise God for all He is doing!!
We would also ask that you would prayerfully consider supporting our work here in Georgia monthly. We are still in need
of partners and every bit helps and is appreciated. Thank you to those who have been supporting us and have made it possible to minister to those we already have and we pray that God would bless you as you continue to pray for us and financially
support the work here in Georgia. I am anxious to write soon and give you an update on how the Launch goes and how God will provide.
