Dear Lovers,

We are pleased to announce that the Atlanta Area has a new leadership couple. John & Lisa Griffin were selected today (October 13, 2007) to coordinate our Area for the next 2-3 years. John & Lisa were Encountered in 2003 and have been very active every since including 2.5 years as Section Secretary Couple. They are warm and loving and have a quick sense of humor. And we are very pleased to place the area in their capable hands.

Father Leo was selected again to be part of the ecclesial team. This is no small thing. He continues to face health problems and each ounce of energy that he gives us is of tremendous value. Please keep him in your prayers, especially on November 5th when he will have cataract surgery on his left eye. And give him an extra hug at Red Top.

We also want to thank each of you for your work on behalf of our movement and in support of us. So often we thought we were sinking and instead found your loving arms raising us up. You are the salt of the earth and a light to the world. Thank you for loving us so well.

With much love,

Dave & Ronnie
