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!

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. Personal Devotion Plan by Trent McEntyre Approach Pray for God’s Spirit to give you understanding and submission to God and His will revealed in the Scripture.
