Welcome to the Journey

I want to thank the generous people and the Pastoral Team at South Albany Community Church (sacchurch.org) that have encouraged me as I began a 3 month Sabbatical and season of renewal.

I began this experience by visiting the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church (brooklyntabernacle.org) where I attended a Tuesday Night Prayer Meeting. Before "the service" I went forward to be prayed for. I was seeking a fresh anointing from God in my ministry and healing from Parkinsen's. As I stood at the altar that night at the church I thought about "my church family". I began thinking how I would love to have taken every one of you with me.

Thousands of people filled a auditorium on a Tuesday Night to simply seek God. People stood in line for the opportunity to bring their concerns to God.

I found my heart yearning for there to be a place in our community that people we know would be drawn together for a meeting in prayer. My passion is that God would graciously use me to be a catalyst of this for our city.

Join Me...I welcome the thought that this season in my life can become a catalyst for renewal in our church and in your life as well.
The Books I am reading...I would love to have you consider with me.
The places I am visiting...I would love to have you 'see' with me.

Take a minute and pray for our church.

God Loves You!

Pastor John
