Lame on the updates? That's us-

Hey guys! So so sorry for the major lack of updates! The busyness of Ap moving in, the study growing, and people coming to know the Lord for the first time has caused us to slack a little. Make sense?

We don't think so either...

So here we are, with another update! Let's gooooo!

So as stated, Apx3 has successfully moved to Tampa Florida and we couldn't be happier! The addition of Aaron, Ashlee and Drew-Drew has brought a wealth of encouragement and momentum that we have definitely been needing! As you all know, Ap's passion for ministry is addicting and nearly impossible to not get swept up in and to stand behind. From his first minute here he has been pushing us and working hard on this church plant. And Ashlee, well I don't think words can describe just how valuable she is to us! She made a bangin mexican casserole for our large group study tonight! Whew...it was so good.. Plus she does every small thing that we guys never think of. She's the best. Of course, we couldn't have our favorite couple without our favorite little man, Drew! He successfully pointed to and said, "Bible" tonight. I think he's going to turn out just fine.

Our time spent out on USF's campus has been extremely positive and fun. Just this past week AP and Speedy were able to pray with TWO guys! God is blessing our efforts and we're definitely encouraged.

The group has been going very, very well! Last monday we saw our biggest crowd to date, 16. We were so pumped! The addition of Byrd and Sarah brought momentum and excitement. Tonight we were expecting to see a smaller crowd since our two ladies went back home on saturday. But God, because He's so awesome, had different plans. Tonight we had our new biggest crowd ever, 17! Praise God! We saw four new people visit this small little apartment. We had an enjoyable time of eating together, worshipping together, and studying together. Ap began the very first Aletheia Tampa series tonight. The title is "Progress" and we're going through the book of Philippians.

Prayer Requests:

-That our group will continue to grow

-We begin small groups this week. Pray for their growth and success.

-That God will continue to provide

-We hope to move on campus very soon. Pray that our request will be granted.

We love all of you guys so much! You are missed. Please don't forget us in your prayers.

Whoa! No March Updates Yet?

I apologize for the lack of updates lately. Trust me, we're still here and going. We're actually really excited for this next month. There's going to be a lot of awesome stuff going down with Aletheia over the course of the next few months. Before I get into that, let me brief you about how things have gone since our last post here. We had another small group meeting last Monday where we got together for some deli sandwiches, sweet tunes, and some really fun discussions on what the Bible has to say about baptism. We were missing some familiar faces but we still had a great time with everyone who could show up and we're looking forward to getting people back this week. We are also going out and meeting people at various other functions and on campus so we hope to see them out as well. Speaking of campus, to my understanding we became an official campus organization at USF this past week! We will be exploring the options that being a campus organization opens up over the next few months but for now you can count on our small group studies at our place every Monday at 6:30PM.

Now as for the next month, we are excited to see our friends from back home start rolling in. The Proffitt family (APx3) will be arriving in less than a month now and we have a bunch of visitors from the church plant back in Virginia coming down for visits this month. We here at the apartment are definitely excited for their arrival and for those down here in Tampa to get to meet them. Aside from just giving us additional friends down here it will also be a great addition as far as ministry goes down here. Aletheia wants to reach this campus and this community for God and the more people we get involved down here to serve the more people we can reach. So for those of you coming out already, continue to come out and get involved, get plugged in, and bring your friends. We love having you guys! For those of you who haven't been that we may have talked to, or perhaps just stumbled upon our site, the invitation is open for every Monday at 6:30 PM. If nothing else, it's good for a free meal! Seriously, we're excited for what God has in store for this area and we want to share in that with all of you.

Monday Nite Update

So God is doing great things! This past monday we saw the biggest crowd to date come out to our small little apartment for food, fellowship and fun! We had thirteen, count em, thirteen people not including the house! How awesome is that!? However, one girl had to leave early for some job training, but she still wanted to come see everyone for what little time she could.
We had a great mix of familiar faces, some friends that had yet to make it out, and new people we had only met a week before. There is a natural pull that is created when God's kids get together and hang out. People down here are starting to feel it, and are really wanting to spend time at the apartment.
Please continue in prayer for the three of us. J.R. has been in clearwater all week long visiting Beth and Emily, Emilio is right up on his midterms, and Speedy can never seem to shake his sickness. Pray that our motivation remains. That despite the hardships we'll never shy away from our goal here. God is awesome, and we are beyond humbled to be doing anything for Him.
We love you guys-

small update

Hello everybody! Much apologies for the lack of updates. To our credit, we've been semi busy.. you know, starting a church and all... :)
The best report to make right now is that God is good! He has been so faithful to us as we've been pouring our hearts into any and everyone we have come across. Sharing on campus has been so encouraging; people are really responding to God's awesome message. Last week we prayed with another person to accept the Lord! There is momentum, and the three of us are definitely feeling it. We have been blessed to have some of our friends here not only accept Aletheia's model for evangelism, but to actually step out and receive training! How exciting!
Small group has been successful as well. Last monday we had new people once again. God continues to bring in new people every week. Speedy rocked his chicken enchiladas and did a little worship while Emilio and J.R. laid down some serious teaching. Of course, once study ended we busted out the rock band for several hours...
Please continue in prayer for us. We're definitely feeling God's presence. His grace is powerful. He is pushing us to go beyond our own limits. Pray for encouragement, strength and perseverance.
We miss our friends and family very much! You guys are the best.
Philemon 4-7
