Samantha’s Answered Prayer for Morningside

When we made the decision to move to plant a church in the Piedmont Park area, we had no friends with children in Morningside Elementary School.

So, we decided to pray for the opportunity for our daughters to meet at least one child in their grade during the summer before school started. Sometime in May we began to offer this request to the Lord, sharing it with some of our friends. Samantha and Langley, having a strong interest in the outcome of these prayers, prayed along as well.

We saw the first answer to these prayers when we met some children Langley’s age (3rd grade) through the local swim and diving team. But, we found no Morningside fourth graders besides Samantha on the team. We continued to pray, but the summer was starting to wind down.

Just before we moved, Samantha and Langley spent a week at a Christian camp in North Georgia, Camp Glisson. (Trent’s brother, Bradley, is now the director of the camp.) When we went to pick up the girls from camp, Samantha told us excitedly, “You are not going to believe this, there were three Morningside girls in my group!” Samantha wrote in her journal, “God answered my prayer…”

Please join us in asking God for even greater things in this part of the city.

  • Pray that God’s name and glory would become well known by all the people in this area. 
  • Pray that men, women, and families who do not yet know Christ will be wonderfully changed by the Gospel. 
  • Pray God would raise up men and women as disciples and disciple makers to provide the leadership for planting a church.


And Thank God for answering Samantha's prayer!

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 worl...
