<\/a>Locally, we are becoming more aggressively involved in the ministry of HaCoBaCare.\u00a0 This ministry of the Hamilton County Baptist Association to those in need in the Chattanooga area is reaching more people than any other ministry of its kind in our County.\u00a0 As our efforts increase, it is our hope that even more people can be affected by this Gospel ministry, both physically and spiritually.<\/p>\nFurther, we have a new possibility that we are exploring with another strategic partner in our area to reach out and minister to refugees located in a camp in the Atlanta area.\u00a0 This mission is unique in that it is an opportunity for many to be engaged in foreign missions only two hours from our home!\u00a0 Though we have not moved on this particular ministry, we are praying through that as a possible door that God is opening up for us.<\/p>\n
The days of sitting and being spiritually fed to obesity without getting out and exercising our faith at The Gathering are over.\u00a0 With opportunities like God has put before us, there is something for literally everyone in our covenant community to get involved in.\u00a0 If you are a part of The Gathering, begin praying about how God can use you in our Mission One:Eight in 2010.<\/p>\n
There is a new day that has dawned at The Gathering with a new spirit of love, compassion and cooperation being experienced as never before.\u00a0 Our worship experiences are sweet times of refreshing from the Lord and our focus is clear.\u00a0 Praise God for cleansing downpours and fresh movements of His Holy Spirit!<\/p>\n
