These past three months have been very exciting here at 180 Degrees Ministries®.  I stand in awe of God’s faithfulness once again as He has provided help and hope to many individuals through this ministry.

From January to March 180 has conducted a leadership retreat, a marriage retreat, six church services, sixteen High School and Junior High drug/alcohol intervention/awareness events, a mission trip to Puerto Rico, two live interviews on radio, a breakout session at the Youth Evangelism Conference in Middle TN, a Student Evangelism Conference in West TN, and many personal one on one phone calls and meeting sessions with individuals and couples helping them come to know Christ in a more intimate way.  Hundreds of public commitments to Christ have been made in these various settings with almost one hundred for personal salvation!!!  WHEW!!!!  God is SOOO GOOD!!  The upcoming months are just as exciting and intense as these last three; I can hardly wait to see who and how God changes lives in the future!

We have finalized lease details with Greenvale Homes for 1200 sq. ft. of office space.  By the time you receive this letter, hopefully, we will be operating in our new facilities. The new location is 1418 Kensington Square Building D.  Look for details in the mail and on the website concerning an open house at the new location within the next few months.

The office expansion gives us room to breathe, (three of us are currently in close quarters – 1 ½ rooms) room for storage, and room to expand.  We have set aside one office just for volunteer training and help in the office.  If you would like to volunteer during or after office hours please contact Pam or Kim at 615-426-4180.  Once you encounter the activity of God through being in the office and seeing the pace and magnitude of ministry taking place firsthand, I can guarantee, you will leave with a new zeal for the things of God!!!! 

Kimberly Bowker has been added to the 180 part-time staff team.  She serves as receptionist and as assistant to the administrator.  She loves God, loves people, and loves to watch lives transformed through the power of our Risen Lord!!  Kimberly is a tremendous asset to the team.

Thank you to all the team members who are financially supporting 180 on a monthly basis.  Without your financial gifts this ministry would not exist!!  Thank you to all the volunteer team members who give of your time and energy to “make it happen” at each event.  Without your help each event would be a hassle and a burden instead of a pure joy!  Thanks!!!

If you are not a financial supporter or a volunteer, we would love to give you an opportunity to invest in a ministry that makes REAL changes in REAL people in REAL life.  We have just the spot for YOU!  Hope to hear from you soon.

Helping people make a 180,
