Nelson Newsletter–January 2015

Faithwalkers Conference, Dec 27-30, 2014. God did answer your prayers for the 683 people at our conference in Asheville. Our house church was refreshed by God’s love for the world and motivated to continue the work of evangelism and discipleship right here in Atlanta. Steve and Brian Bridgeman enjoyed teaming up to speak on, “The Comparison Trap,” and Steve’s seminar (photo below), “Lifestyle Evangelism,” had an overflow crowd. What a joy to see a room filled with folks eager to be more effective ambassadors for Christ! Listen to any of the teachings using this link: http://www.gccweb.org/conferences/faithwalkers/east/2014_teachings or this one, http://www.gccweb.org/podcasts/episode-2536/lifestyle-evangelism.mp3 for Steve’s seminar.

Parenting Seminar Danelle and I were invited to Jacksonville, Florida to teach a seminar on parenting on February 21st. Most of the Florida Great Commission churches will attend, so we appreciate your prayers for our preparation, that God would bring everyone He wants to attend, and that they would have teachable hearts.

Family Update Our tribe continues to increase. Presently we have 11 grandchildren and are expecting 3 more this year. Our family is praising God! Maria is due in May, Whitney in June, and Amanda in July. (Amanda’s recent sonogram below) Danelle and I are considering buying a hotel so that we can host our future family gatherings. Smile
