Parkside People and Prayer


Parkside People and Prayer

Initially, all good ministry is about a group of people praying to God to enable them to love and serve others in a specific way. This is really a good idea when you think about how much good you can accomplish apart from Jesus (nothing!!). Prayer is vital because it is both the means to what we called to and the end for which we called as well. So, here are a few pictures of the people of the Parkside project and some ways you can pray with us.


One of our last official events as ChristChurch Presbyterian members -- out to Mexican while the church teenagers babysat.  We are thankful for the wonderful support and friendships of the ChristChurch family.  Prayer request: For Trent, Emily and our daughters for the personal aspect of this transition.


Walking and praying on the Beltline (http://beltline.org) with Alicia and Dan DeCrisio.  On our walk we passed million dollar (plus) homes and a few guys with all their worldly possessions piled under a bridge.  Midtown is an incredible intersection of people from all walks of life.   How will the church (universal) bring the hope of Christ to this area? Prayer request: For the resources and insights to begin this ministry well. 


Grabbing a burger in Virginia-Highland with Dan and Alicia.  The DeCrisios lead a "Missional Community Group" at their home across from Piedmont Park and will be instrumental in planting the Parkside church.  Prayer request: For the "Missional Communities" to grow, prosper, and multiply.

Thanks so much to all who support us with friendship, prayer, and giving. We will keep you posted on how the Lord answers our prayers as we begin this new ministry. Let us know if you are interested in joining us for a prayer walk in the "Parkside" area.

More Prayer requests
1.     We are moving, starting July 15th into a rental home in the Morningside neighborhood. Please pray for the move to go smoothly and that we make a good first impression on our neighbors.
2.     Our number one priority right now is support raising. We have received about 30% of our first year of support in pledges or gifts. Please pray for God’s grace and provision so that we can reach our goal soon.
3.     This time of transition is both exciting and tough on our family. Please pray for God’s grace to find us when we need it most.

 Top 5 things students need to know about Jesus from the NT What if you had to choose the top 5 New Testament passages that a student needs to understand to become a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ? Which passages you choose? GT staff Greg Ashworth and students in Bosnia this summer.

Personal Devotion Plan

The following article is the product of what I adapted from early days of discipleship in campus ministry, my seminary training, and my work as a pastor in Atlanta. The result is a thorough but flexible personal devotion plan.

His ways or works 2. List what the passage tells about us.    a. Our sins or limitations    b. Our likeness to God or potential   3. List examples to follow or avoid, promises to claim, or commands to follow.   Meditate   Now write out one or two (at most!) of the main thoughts/teachings you derived from the passage.
