There is a homeless ministry in Atlanta
called Safehouse Outreach. Every day of the week they hold a Church
service and feed around 300 homeless people. We’ve been volunteering
there once a week and we asked them if they knew of any affordable
housing inside the Atlanta perimeter. Joe who works there told us
about this man who is an entrepreneur. He goes around and buys up the
worst apartment complexes he can find, runs out all the drug dealers,
restores them, and rents them out for quite cheep. He had recently
started on one such apartment complex, Deer-field Gardens. We were
told that they wanted missionaries there who could serve the
community and do ministry in the neighborhood. It seemed like a
perfect match….
And it was! We moved in 2 weeks ago and
are starting to build relationships with our neighbors. We’ve been
playing outside with the kids a lot and were in the process of
planning a fall festival.
Be in prayer for those relationships
and for many more. I’m also still in the process of support raising
and need prayer for that.
