From the Bishop: How Can I Say Thanks?

Lindsey Davis

Words truly are inadequate to express the heartfelt thanks overflowing in our hearts after our final Annual Conference with the gracious people of North Georgia. The entire week was one of thanksgiving for us. It was so much fun seeing the generous giving of our people to Nothing But Nets, the Child Rescue Center in Sierra Leone, Our Daily Bread in Athens and, of course, to Venezuela Now and Honduras Outreach. Taken together, you gave over $261,000 to missions and more continues to come into our Conference Treasurer.

The Thursday night celebration of our ministry here was terrific. Although Jennifer and I had a few tears in our eyes, it was a lot of fun. (Our grandchildren still believe it was a birthday party for me.) Thanks for coming, especially to all who stood in the long line at the reception to offer us personal words of greeting.

Soon a new Bishop will be named for North Georgia. Whoever it is, that leader will be fortunate to serve with such a loving group of disciples. The best is yet to come for North Georgia. You will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We hope to see you in the years to come. But if we don’t, we will see you on the other side of the Jordan – what a day of rejoicing that will be, when we all see Jesus and shout the Victory.

All our love,
Lindsey & Jennifer
