Athens, I Love You!

Can you believe that we are less than 60 days away from moving into our new facility? I am so excited to have real walls, more space, and a fun hallway, but I am even more excited to see the life change that I believe God will make happen in this building! It's about so much more than a building; it's about taking something old and dirty and giving it new life, just like Christ did in us. 2 Corinthians 5 says "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" I think this building is a great picture of that, and I can't wait to see how many children are going to trust Christ over the years in this building.

Thank you all for being a part of this team, you're so valuable! You truly are leading children into a growing relationship with Jesus.

Here are some pictures of what the building looks like TODAY:
