Praying and Meeting

We have been praying for the days that we are now living in....we are connecting with the community around us and seeking for additional ways to begin building relationships. Neal and Barry are seeking to secure jobs to supplement income through substitute teaching positions in both public and private schools as well as some retail opportunities.

We have met with some of our core group individuals and further cast the vision for what is in store with Redemption in the coming days. We have established a transitional stewardship team to oversee the finances of Redemption.

We are looking forward to having our initial Bible study on February 13(updated date) as we get underway. We may be starting a second group within the month.

Continue to pray for Neal and Barry as they seek to communicate the vision and strategy for Redemption. They will be participating in an evangelism workshop on February 9 and the missions conference "Hope for the World" at the end of the month at Hope Baptist Church.

A word of praise - The Tweedys have a renter in their home in Hernando for at least a year. A major answer to prayer!

End of Week 1

Well, we are at the end of one week and almost have everything in place in the house. We have new bank accounts, but still have much to do with job interviews, drivers licenses, car tags, smog inspections, car insurance, renters insurance....whew, but all is well! We are so thankful to a Mighty God for His call and His provision. Excited to see all that He is going to do in the coming days.

We Have Arrived!!!

Dear Friends:

We have finally arrived in Las Vegas! We finished unloading the trucks thanks to all the help that showed up today. We were blessed with great help both on the Mississippi and Las Vegas ends of the trip. We are excited to be here and ready to finish getting the house in order. Here are a few ways you can be praying for us:

1. Please continue to pray for the Tweedy's house to sell.

2. Pray for Barry and Neal as they apply to be substitute teachers here in Las Vegas. This would help us pay the bills while giving us the freedom to be off when we need to be.

3. Pray for our initial meetings. We hope to have a planning meeting in the next week or so.

We appreciate all of the prayers and help! We look forward to seeing what all the Lord is going to do this next year.

In Him,

Neal
