December update - Stay Focused!

Hey, I know we are about halfway through December but I still wanted to let you guys know what is going on here in Macon.  We started our church planting journey in September and have not looked back since then. We have been meeting with a small group of people weekly. Though we have small and simple meetings, we focus on the one thing that matters most; Jesus and how to make him known! I'm proud to say that we have the opportunity...

Meet Mike and Jamie Aldridge

I want to introduce you to Mike and Jamie Aldridge. These are two dynamic people who have just moved from California to plant a church in Macon, Georgia.  These two people are truly disciples of Jesus and because of that have become friends of ours.  I can say that after spending time with them, their love for Jesus is contagious and leaves you wanting to know and worship the Lord. For those of you who are apart of VC2 (Victory...

November Update - Leaning on Promise!

We are settling into month two of our time in Macon. This last month we as a family have encountered many trying situations both emotionally, financially and socially. In the midst of such circumstances though one thing has become apparent.  We have an enemy, but there is a Savior.  www.21st-century-christianity.com The worst thing you can do is go into a battle not prepared or worst not knowing there is a battle. Our battle...

October Update

Well we have done it. We have moved to Macon. With the help of great team members we have been able to finish bringing all of our things from Tennille to Macon. So we thank everyone who made this move possible! We are still adjusting to our new life. My wife, Sophia, was horrified at what our little apartment looked like when we began moving in because we went from 1500 square feet to 700 square feet. I promised my wife that we would make...

All Moved Out

Hey guys. We just wanted to let everyone know what is going on.  In case you didn't know My wife and I moved out of our house in Tennille, Georgia to pursue a new life in Macon, Georgia to take on the task of planting a church. We will be doing this along side our local church VC2. This work will also bear the name of VC2 and embody the same vision and values as our main church because we believe that God has a plan for Central Georgia...

So we will be planting VC2 - Macon. I know that many people...

St. Patrick's Day

So I never really knew what St. Patrick ’s Day was really about.  It was never really something I thought about until today. Sitting at my desk I decided to feed my curiosity and see what this holiday was really about. Watch this short video and find out who St. Patrick was. My challenge next year is to redeem this holiday for the Gospel of Jesus of Christ. Lets make it next year that when people say "St Patrick's Day" their first thought is not about green beer, parties, leperchauns, pots of golds or anything of the like, but rather...

Maintaining Unity

I’ve had the privilege of being in different churches over the years for several different reasons. I’ve been to big churches, small churches, house churches, new churches, old churches, Baptist, Methodist, Pentacostal, Non denominational, the list could go on. The last message I preached recently was from Ephesians 4. To sum up the entire passage Paul tells the Ephesians to walk in a manner worthy of their calling, that there is One Lord,...

Looking into 2014

So here are a couple of thoughts I've had that have followed me into 2014 and what I feel will mark most of my thoughts and discussions this year. I have more thoughts but these are the first ones on my mind and I wanted to go ahead and put them out there.     “Discernment” ministries. I’ll be honest and say that there are plenty of ministries and preachers that I don’t agree with. I use to like finding different ministries that said this person was wrong and was a “false” prophet. But it doesn't take much these days to be...
