We had a wonderful time helping with the new church in downtown Atlanta, Georgia during the month of May.  The City Baptist Church of Atlanta is now just a few weeks old and doing well.  Pastor and Mrs. Mark McElreath are doing a tremendous job and we saw some good responses while we were there.  To continue reading the update from Paul Hoover, please click on the link below.

We are rejoicing because of so much answered prayer!  Our vehicle that was involved in an accident with a deer back in December has now been fixed.  We were without that very important vehicle to our ministry for almost four months.  Thank you for praying for our need.

We want to wish you a wonderful Christmas and Joyous New Year.  2021 has been a great year of ministry for us.  We are thankful to the Lord for His goodness and grace. This month I had a new experience.  I was traveling across country headed east for church planting and for the first time in my life I hit a deer.  In over a million miles of lifetime driving it was a rude awadening.  To continue reading the update from Paul Hoover, please click on the link below.

As we travel the United States in our church planting ministry I am more burdened than ever for our country.  For decades we have been far from God but now it seems we are in a free fall away from Him.  To continue reading the update from Paul Hoover, please click the link below.

On Thursday, March 19, 2020, the State of California ordered its forty million residents to stay at home except for essential activities because of the Covid-19 Virus.  Since then similar orders have spread across most of the United States and around the world.  It has been called the biggest lockdown in history.  But how does God work in a lockdown?

The I Corinthians 3:6 Church Planting Initiative continues.  Our goal is to plant 100 churches and we are using the Acts 20:20 vision as our guide.  Thank you for praying for our desire to reach this number.  We know that "Where there is no vision, the people perish" Proverbs 29:18.

We have been keeping busy during the pandemic.  Our ministry of church planting has changed somewhat as the churches we were scheduled to be in had to change their regular public services to an online ministry.  Because of this we have had 21 services cancelled.  In spite of this the Lord has given us many ways to be used of Him.
