As you know, I have transitioned to Jacksonville, FL with three primary objectives: 1) To relocate Rebirth International headquarters here; 2) To develop a training apparatus for next-generation urban mission leaders; and 3) to launch an incarnational ministry on the north side of this great city.
I am settling in – making many new and exciting connections for support and partnership in ministry – meeting pastors, businessmen, other urban ministry leaders.
Each day accords me new and surprising developments and progress. I am encouraged – even if at times a bit impatient. I am presently at about 5% of my total first year fundraising goals – but there are significant prospects that I trust will develop into quantifiable support.
I am in discussions also with Gordon Conwell Seminary regarding the opportunity to partner toward establishing a training apparatus for urban missions leaders. We will be meeting about this possibility next week.
I also am continuing to schedule concerts and advance some of my music business/ministry goals. After a recent visit to Nashville, I hope to have something encouraging to share with you all soon in that department.
Please pray for my continued efforts at fundraising and for general encouragement – that I will keep my eyes on the Sovereign and wait on Him – even as I am out and about beating the bushes.

Mo,
You’re actually in my prayers a lot but I’ll double up. ;-}
I try to make my most used prayer, “Thy Will Be Done”. That’s my prayer for your life and for your ministry.
