It has been a great week at DC Metro as there has been lots of activity as we ramp up for the BIG FALL Ahead…
Last night we had our membership reception and it was so great to meet all the new members of DC Metro Church. I love the fact that DC Metro is truly representing God’s heart in the Lord’s Prayer where Jesus says, “Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” As I looked around the room last night at the membership reception I was so encouraged to see representation from all walks of life, generation, and culture, and backgrounds represented… (A little glimpse of heaven on earth for me… and as the church should be…) Go God, and Go DC Metro… (Side Note: If you would like to attend a membership reception the next one is September 25th! Contact Julie Lee at julee@dcmetrochurch.org)
The entire church has been doing a week-long fast this week which wraps up today, and as much as I know that God is going to move mightily this fall because of it, and that He did great things in our lives through it (Can I Be Real?) I AM SO GLAD IT IS OVER… Go God Use Us and Use This Season Of Fasting For Your Purposes!
As I read through Isaiah 58 (The Fasting Chapter) last week, I was so encouraged as we (as a church) are walking out the attributes of a “true fast” with our efforts to reach out to the community around us… Go God!
Looking forward to another great Sunday at Church this weekend as we will be wrapping up the “Living Like a Champion” Series and getting all fired-up about our 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY Service coming next week September 7th… In fact, next week is slated to be the big “DC METRO WEEK!” of the entire year, Here is what it looks like:
DC METRO WEEK!
Thursday September 4th - 1st Thursday Prayer Service (Click Here for details)
Friday September 5th - Rally in DC for Convoy of Hope Event (more details on participating contact: Julee@dcmetrochurch.org)

I had a great time the other night with all the DC Metro Dream Teamers for a night of getting fired-up about what God is going to do this Fall at DC Metro Church as well as many of the fun plans over the next few months… Leadership is a great thing, and I am so very thankful that DC Metro has the greatest leadership team in the entire DC Metro Area…
It takes leadership to build a God-First Culture…
God is good - as we had a chance to pray for the church, the city, and the vision of DC Metro “To Build A God First Culture Throughout the DC Metro Area.”
One of the things that we talked about was doing a fast between August 22nd (That is Today!) and August 29 (That is Seven Days Away)… I would love to extend this fast anyone who would like to believe God with us for a huge Harvest of New DC Metroers this Fall… (We are almost to FALL…) [*Disclaimer - Fasting: Giving up anything as a sacrifice in exchange for time alone with Jesus…] (wheew, thought I lost some of ya without that disclaimer…)
God is up to something and as we put Him first and get going building Gods House this Fall - I am sure we will see a huge harvest for the Kingdom of God…
Special thanks (Shout Out) to the DC Metro Staff for making this event a success and for serving the Dream Team and for always having such a servants heart towards the members the Members of DC Metro Church… You Guys Rock!
Bless You Guys,
David

It has been a great day as I got to spend it hanging out with good friend and Pastor, Joe Champion from Celebration Church in Austin Texas. Joe spoke at the Flex Men’s Conference that I attended tonite at Celebration Church of Jacksonville… Pastor Joe is a fellow LSU Tiger (There is always seem a Louisiana Connection, isnt there…) and he always seems to get me fired-up about church planting… (OK so it does not really take me much to get fired-up about that…)
Nothing quite like a bunch of men getting real before God… It has been a great time in Jacksonville as I have been able to see a lot of old friends and watch their lives continue to go to the next level in their relationship with God… The only thing that comes close to witnessing someone come to Christ, is watching someone get even closer to Him… It was great to see that happening tonite in so many guys at Celebration (young and old).
Although I will sure miss Stovall and the Celebration Crew, I am sure looking forward to getting home tomorrow, as I miss my girl (Taryn) and my two little men… Seems like a lot of travel this Summer, but I am sure looking forward to settling down for a bit to continue getting geared up for another GREAT Fall Season at DC Metro as we all watch God Move Together…
Go God!

Last night I spoke at Celebration Church in Jacksonville Florida… It was a great night of worship and sharing in God’s Word… I was also able to see many many familiar faces and greet many awesome people (Family and Friends) from Taryn and I’s time in Jacksonville… It is always great to go back to Celebration Church…
It is always good to spend some time with my dear friend Pastor Stovall Weems of Celebration Church… He and his wife Kerri are non-stop supporters of “Building a God-First Culture throughout the DC Metro Area…” He always gets me pumped about the future of Celebration Church and especially DC Metro Church… Go Stovall, You Rock!
I will be heading back to DC on Saturday, but until then I am also checking out a cool men’s conference called FLEX which is held at Celebration… Sounds like it is going to be a great conference, and I’ll keep you posted…
Bless You Guys - Looking forward to a great weekend at DC Metro…
Go God!

Taryn & I had an awesome opportunity to attend the Inside Access Conference @ Next Level Church in Ft. Myers, FL.
We had a great time, but we sure did miss our DC Metro Family!
We had some “roomies” while at the Conference - we got to spend some time with some great friends, Terry & Tracy Jimmerson, of Destiny Church, Las Vegas - which just launched in March of this year! GO GOD!
Above is a picture Taryn & I with Terry & Tracy.
These guys rock, but it is still SO great to be back HOME!

We had another great outreach this weekend at the Friendship Firehouse Festival!
Pictured above are two of my favorite FIREMEN - Isaac (my two year old) and his good buddy, Austin (DC Metro’s Worship Leader)…
There was lot’s of faces painted and about 1,000 water bottles passed out!
Taryn and I were out of town this past weekend at a Pastor’s Conference at Next Level Church in Fort Meyers, Fl with our good friends Pastor Matt Keller and his wife Sarah… Even though the weekend was very inspiring about all that God is doing at DC Metro, we so missed being at this outreach…
It is always good for a leader to see that things go on just fine when they are out of town… Go Dream Team, you guys never cease to amaze me!!!
Go God!!
PS - More outreaches to come right away as we continue to spread the luv (His Luv that is..) by “Building a God-First Culture through out DC Metro!”
