NACA Workshop
Thanks, Cindy, for sending us news of the upcoming NACA (Neighorhood Assistance Corporation of America) workshop. NACA's website describes the organization this way: "The Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America ("NACA") is a non-profit, community advocacy and homeownership organization. NACA’s primary goal is to build strong, healthy neighborhoods in urban and rural areas nationwide through affordable homeownership. NACA has made the dream of homeownership a reality for thousands of working people by counseling them honestly and effectively, enabling even those with poor credit to purchase a home or refinance a predatory loan with far better terms than those provided even in the prime market."
The next NACA workshop is Oct. 23, from 9 am to 4 pm. You must pre-register at www.naca.com. (Choose the workshop option. Enter zip code 30134 and choose the homesaver or purchase option. Find "Life Changes Church: and register.)

Their office is based out of McDonough, but they are willing many times to meet people closer to where they are located to get them signed up. They will also send their applications by email to get the process started. They do require people to pass a drug screen and background check."

Devotional from Max Lucado's book
HOPE
by Max Lucado
It's one of the most compelling narratives in all of Scripture. So fascinating is the scene, in fact, that Luke opted to record it in detail.
Two disciples are walking down the dusty road to the village of Emmaus. Their talk concerns the crucified Jesus. Their words come slowly, trudging in cadence with the dirge-like pace of their feet.
"I can hardly believe it. He's gone."
"What do we do now?"
"It's Peter's fault, he shouldn't have ... "
Just then a stranger comes up from behind and says, "I'm sorry, but I couldn't help overhearing you. Who are you discussing?"
They stop and turn. Other travelers make their way around them as the three stand in silence. Finally one of them asks, "Where have you been the last few days? Haven't you heard about Jesus of Nazareth?" And he continues to tell what has happened. (Luke 24:13-24)
This scene fascinates me—two sincere disciples telling how the last nail has been driven in Israel's coffin. God, in disguise, listens patiently, his wounded hands buried deeply in his robe. He must have been touched at the faithfulness of this pair. Yet he also must have been a bit chagrined. He had just gone to hell and back to give heaven to earth, and these two were worried about the political situation of Israel.
"But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel."
But we had hoped ... How often have you heard a phrase like that?
"We were hoping the doctor would release him."
"I had hoped to pass the exam."
"We had hoped the surgery would get all the tumor."
"I thought the job was in the bag."
Words painted gray with disappointment. What we wanted didn't come. What came, we didn't want. The result? Shattered hope. The foundation of our world trembles.
We trudge up the road to Emmaus dragging our sandals in the dust, wondering what we did to deserve such a plight. "What kind of God would let me down like this?"
And yet, so tear-filled are our eyes and so limited is our perspective that God could be the fellow walking next to us and we wouldn't know it.
You see, the problem with our two heavy-hearted friends was not a lack of faith, but a lack of vision. Their petitions were limited to what they could imagine—an earthly kingdom. Had God answered their prayer, had he granted their hope, the Seven-Day War would have started two thousand years earlier and Jesus would have spent the next forty years training his apostles to be cabinet members. You have to wonder if God's most merciful act is his refusal to answer some of our prayers.
We are not much different than burdened travelers, are we? We roll in the mud of self-pity in the very shadow of the cross. We piously ask for his will and then have the audacity to pout if everything doesn't go our way. If we would just remember the heavenly body that awaits us, we'd stop complaining that he hasn't healed this earthly one.
Our problem is not so much that God doesn't give us what we hope for as it is that we don't know the right thing for which to hope. (You may want to read that sentence again.)
Hope is not what you expect; it is what you would never dream. It is a wild, improbable tale with a pinch-me-I'm-dreaming ending. It's Abraham adjusting his bifocals so he can see not his grandson, but his son. It's Moses standing in the promised land not with Aaron or Miriam at his side, but with Elijah and the transfigured Christ. It's Zechariah left speechless at the sight of his wife Elizabeth, gray-headed and pregnant. And it is the two Emmaus-bound pilgrims reaching out to take a piece of bread only to see that the hands from which it is offered are pierced.
Hope is not a granted wish or a favor performed; no, it is far greater than that. It is a zany, unpredictable dependence on a God who loves to surprise us out of our socks and be there in the flesh to see our reaction.

1. Inspiration: JobSeekers of PTC Completes Twelve Years of Ministry
Praise the Lord; we've just completed twelve years of ministry!
Around noon today a former member of our group called with a job lead. While we were on the phone Dale asked how many people are coming to JS these days. I told him it's about 80 people per week. "Wow, things must be pretty tough these days," he said. We had 36 people at his first meeting on 12 May 2006, so to have twice as many people was a big mind shift for him.
I get the "things must be pretty tough these days" comment a lot while I'm out in the community. I'm not going to write a message today that denies this harsh reality of our times.
In fact, I've talked to more than the usual number of people in the past several days that have their backs up against the wall. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number and the percentage of long-term (greater than six months) unemployed persons is at an all-time high. Some of the people I've spoken to meet this six-month criterion twice! I must admit that hearing their stories had me down earlier this week.
Are they tough? Sure they are.
Are they hopeless? Absolutely not. No matter how tough things may be, we ALWAYS have hope because we believe in the living God – the Lord of the Universe; the Lord of our lives.
People who attend JobSeekers regularly and put what we teach into practice also have hope because all they know all they need is ONE job, and when they land that ONE job, CNN and all the other media outlets will continue to tell us how depressing things are on the economic front. The unemployment rate will not change one iota in the county, state or country – but they will change dramatically in that one home.
"I got a job" messages are pouring in
In the past several days, I've learned of many people who've landed jobs. The good news has come via email and phone calls, from mutual friends, and at JobSeekers on Friday mornings. In fact we had four 'farewell' speeches a couple of weeks ago. Here are excerpts of some messages that have come in so far for this month:
1. (name withheld for privacy): After much frustration and learning pain I have gotten a job that meets my target criteria. I appreciate your mission and endurance; I'm sure you bang your head on the wall a lot. I also appreciate X's involvement. Her LinkedIn and resume classes were helpful, and the access to a little financial and investment advice gave me some comfort in knowing I could get help if the chips really got down.
I recognize that have a lot to learn about the tactics of finding a job. I have already put those three things you teach – keep your skills sharp, keep your network active, and keep up with your accomplishments along the way – into action. Thanks for being a cheerleader.
2. (name withheld for privacy): JobSeekers gave me hope even though I only attended a few times. God had in mind what he wanted me to be doing – and where and when he wanted me to find it. Just keep working at it and something great might just happen!
3. (name withheld): Thank you for any and all advice, information or referrals you provided me during this time. Many of you were familiar with job opportunities, while others provided ideas, suggestions, and or most importantly moral support. I am extremely appreciative for all that you did for me. God bless you and the JobSeekers ministry.
4. (name withheld): I am writing to thank you for your JobSeekers of Peachtree City ministry. Your newsletters have been a source of positive weekly encouragement for me over the last 10 months as I have been searching for a new career. The Lord blessed me with an offer from a great company last week...I did not attend any of your Friday morning meetings, but I wanted to let you know that your ministry touches more than just those that attend the sessions. We think your ministry is wonderful. Thanks again for all you do.
5. (name withheld): I can't thank you and everyone else I have come in contact with for your help, support, coaching, and spiritual encouragement. Tomorrow will be my last day at JobSeekers. If possible I would like to say a few words about my journey. I would like to share this information with the group to show them again that what you teach and preach works. You talk about the red Ferrari in the garage and you need to take it out and drive it. I don't have the Ferrari but I do have a red Corvette and tomorrow I'm going to drive it!
6. (name withheld): I used the resume writing tips, training from the LinkedIn class, and interviewing and networking skills that I learned from JobSeekers as I went through eight, yes eight, rounds of interviews. Through the entire process, I kept recalling Jeremiah 29:11-13, constantly praying for God's guidance, and prepping myself with the knowledge I had learned (much of it from JobSeekers).
7. Name withheld: As an agnostic, I was hesitant to take part in a Christian group. I thought it was going to be too preachy and too overbearingly religious for me. I was wrong, dead wrong. I'm not earning as much as my last position, but the firm is making money and I'm getting the fringe benefits, recognition, and happiness that was absent in my past positions. The money will follow, I'm certain of that.
I could not have done this at such an accelerated pace without my friends at JobSeekers and your Christian principals, fellowship and support. These are life-lessons I will take with me. I'm also now passionate in helping a few friends each week who are job seekers because of the struggles I went through; I'm determined to help them too.
- - - - -
Praise to our Lord and Father in heaven for working through this ministry to change lives!
If you are looking for work and you aren't coming to JobSeekers, get your derriere in here. If you aren't careful, you might network with someone and find the opportunity of a lifetime. If you aren't careful, you might learn something you can apply within days that helps you land a job within weeks. If you aren't careful, you might have a God-ordained experience when you humble yourself and come to JobSeekers.
So when someone says to me, "Things must be pretty tough these days," I'm always tempted to say, "Not so much from my point of view."
A brief history of JobSeekers
JobSeekers has been changing lives since August 1998. Ernie Childs, Howard Tisdale and Larry Pelkowski started this group after they attended a JobSeekers' group that meets in Dunwoody. They gained the support of The Kiwanis Club of Peachtree City, and they have been a sponsor since day one.
Chaplain Howard Tisdale has attended more meetings than anyone else — about 550, and he's led about 300 devotionals. He says this is the best ministry he's ever been involved with. Ernie Childs led the group until the spring of 2000, when he took on a new role as CEO of a biotech company.
I came as a participant in February 2000; two months later Ernie stepped down and I moved into the leadership role. For several months I held the dual role of participant and facilitator. I landed a great job where I traveled around the country teaching consultative selling skills.
Soon after, I started my career coaching business. At first the sales training dominated, but my business grew to a full-time enterprise by 2004. This allows me to lead the group every Friday morning. This is not only the ministry that God has called me to; it's what I do for a living.
Well over 3000 individuals have come through JobSeekers in the past 12 years. Attendance this year is running close to 80 people per week (compared to 17 people at my first meeting in 2000). People think the high numbers are because of higher unemployment, but I'm convinced that the growth is also due to grass-roots marketing and strong programs.
...Most of all, I want to thank our Lord and Father in heaven who inspires us to reach beyond what we are capable of to achieve what only HE can do. He loves us and wants us to do everything we can do – and leave to him what only HE can do. Thanks be to God.
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed. -- Proverbs 16.3
See you tomorrow at JobSeekers, where we celebrate God's presence in our lives and in this ministry.

1. Inspiration: JobSeekers of PTC Completes Twelve Years of Ministry
Praise the Lord; we've just completed twelve years of ministry!
Around noon today a former member of our group called with a job lead. While we were on the phone Dale asked how many people are coming to JS these days. I told him it's about 80 people per week. "Wow, things must be pretty tough these days," he said. We had 36 people at his first meeting on 12 May 2006, so to have twice as many people was a big mind shift for him.
I get the "things must be pretty tough these days" comment a lot while I'm out in the community. I'm not going to write a message today that denies this harsh reality of our times.
In fact, I've talked to more than the usual number of people in the past several days that have their backs up against the wall. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number and the percentage of long-term (greater than six months) unemployed persons is at an all-time high. Some of the people I've spoken to meet this six-month criterion twice! I must admit that hearing their stories had me down earlier this week.
Are they tough? Sure they are.
Are they hopeless? Absolutely not. No matter how tough things may be, we ALWAYS have hope because we believe in the living God – the Lord of the Universe; the Lord of our lives.
People who attend JobSeekers regularly and put what we teach into practice also have hope because all they know all they need is ONE job, and when they land that ONE job, CNN and all the other media outlets will continue to tell us how depressing things are on the economic front. The unemployment rate will not change one iota in the county, state or country – but they will change dramatically in that one home.
"I got a job" messages are pouring in
In the past several days, I've learned of many people who've landed jobs. The good news has come via email and phone calls, from mutual friends, and at JobSeekers on Friday mornings. In fact we had four 'farewell' speeches a couple of weeks ago. Here are excerpts of some messages that have come in so far for this month:
1. (name withheld for privacy): After much frustration and learning pain I have gotten a job that meets my target criteria. I appreciate your mission and endurance; I'm sure you bang your head on the wall a lot. I also appreciate X's involvement. Her LinkedIn and resume classes were helpful, and the access to a little financial and investment advice gave me some comfort in knowing I could get help if the chips really got down.
I recognize that have a lot to learn about the tactics of finding a job. I have already put those three things you teach – keep your skills sharp, keep your network active, and keep up with your accomplishments along the way – into action. Thanks for being a cheerleader.
2. (name withheld for privacy): JobSeekers gave me hope even though I only attended a few times. God had in mind what he wanted me to be doing – and where and when he wanted me to find it. Just keep working at it and something great might just happen!
3. (name withheld): Thank you for any and all advice, information or referrals you provided me during this time. Many of you were familiar with job opportunities, while others provided ideas, suggestions, and or most importantly moral support. I am extremely appreciative for all that you did for me. God bless you and the JobSeekers ministry.
4. (name withheld): I am writing to thank you for your JobSeekers of Peachtree City ministry. Your newsletters have been a source of positive weekly encouragement for me over the last 10 months as I have been searching for a new career. The Lord blessed me with an offer from a great company last week...I did not attend any of your Friday morning meetings, but I wanted to let you know that your ministry touches more than just those that attend the sessions. We think your ministry is wonderful. Thanks again for all you do.
5. (name withheld): I can't thank you and everyone else I have come in contact with for your help, support, coaching, and spiritual encouragement. Tomorrow will be my last day at JobSeekers. If possible I would like to say a few words about my journey. I would like to share this information with the group to show them again that what you teach and preach works. You talk about the red Ferrari in the garage and you need to take it out and drive it. I don't have the Ferrari but I do have a red Corvette and tomorrow I'm going to drive it!
6. (name withheld): I used the resume writing tips, training from the LinkedIn class, and interviewing and networking skills that I learned from JobSeekers as I went through eight, yes eight, rounds of interviews. Through the entire process, I kept recalling Jeremiah 29:11-13, constantly praying for God's guidance, and prepping myself with the knowledge I had learned (much of it from JobSeekers).
7. Name withheld: As an agnostic, I was hesitant to take part in a Christian group. I thought it was going to be too preachy and too overbearingly religious for me. I was wrong, dead wrong. I'm not earning as much as my last position, but the firm is making money and I'm getting the fringe benefits, recognition, and happiness that was absent in my past positions. The money will follow, I'm certain of that.
I could not have done this at such an accelerated pace without my friends at JobSeekers and your Christian principals, fellowship and support. These are life-lessons I will take with me. I'm also now passionate in helping a few friends each week who are job seekers because of the struggles I went through; I'm determined to help them too.
- - - - -
Praise to our Lord and Father in heaven for working through this ministry to change lives!
If you are looking for work and you aren't coming to JobSeekers, get your derriere in here. If you aren't careful, you might network with someone and find the opportunity of a lifetime. If you aren't careful, you might learn something you can apply within days that helps you land a job within weeks. If you aren't careful, you might have a God-ordained experience when you humble yourself and come to JobSeekers.
So when someone says to me, "Things must be pretty tough these days," I'm always tempted to say, "Not so much from my point of view."
A brief history of JobSeekers
JobSeekers has been changing lives since August 1998. Ernie Childs, Howard Tisdale and Larry Pelkowski started this group after they attended a JobSeekers' group that meets in Dunwoody. They gained the support of The Kiwanis Club of Peachtree City, and they have been a sponsor since day one.
Chaplain Howard Tisdale has attended more meetings than anyone else — about 550, and he's led about 300 devotionals. He says this is the best ministry he's ever been involved with. Ernie Childs led the group until the spring of 2000, when he took on a new role as CEO of a biotech company.
I came as a participant in February 2000; two months later Ernie stepped down and I moved into the leadership role. For several months I held the dual role of participant and facilitator. I landed a great job where I traveled around the country teaching consultative selling skills.

Fear of What's Next - a devotional
Today's devotional comes from Fearless: Imagine Your Life Without Fear

Fear of What's Next
by Max Lucado
“I am going away” ( John 14:28).
Imagine their shock when they heard Jesus say those words. He spoke them on the night of the Passover celebration, Thursday evening, in the Upper Room. Christ and his friends had just enjoyed a calm dinner in the midst of a chaotic week. They had reason for optimism: Jesus’ popularity was soaring. Opportunities were increasing. In three short years the crowds had lifted Christ to their shoulders . . . he was the hope of the common man.
And now this? Jesus said, “I am going away.” The announcement stunned them. When Jesus explained, “You know the way to where I am going,” Thomas, with no small dose of exasperation, replied, “No, we don’t know, Lord. We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” ( John 14:4–5 NLT).
On the eve of his death, Jesus gave his followers this promise: “When the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid” (John 14:26–27 NLT).
As a departing teacher might introduce the classroom to her replacement, so Jesus introduces us to the Holy Spirit. And what a ringing endorsement he gives. Jesus calls the Holy Spirit his “representative.”
The Spirit comes in the name of Christ, with equal authority and identical power. Earlier in the evening Jesus had said, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever” (John 14:16 NIV).
Jesus’ promise: allos—“another one just like the first one.” And who is the first one? Jesus himself. Hence, the assurance Jesus gives to the disciples is this: “I am going away. You are entering a new season, a different chapter. Much will be different, but one thing remains constant: my presence. You will enjoy the presence of ‘another Counselor.’ ”
Can you see how the disciples needed this encouragement? It’s Thursday night before the crucifixion. By Friday’s sunrise they will abandon Jesus. The breakfast hour will find them hiding in corners and crevices. At 9 a.m. Roman soldiers will nail Christ to a cross. By this time tomorrow he will be dead and buried. Their world is about to be flipped on its head. And Jesus wants them to know: they’ll never face the future without his help.
Nor will you. You have a travel companion. When you place your faith in Christ, Christ places his Spirit before, behind, and within you. Not a strange spirit, but the same Spirit: the parakletos. Everything Jesus did for his followers, his Spirit does for you. Jesus taught; the Spirit teaches. Jesus healed; the Spirit heals. Jesus comforted; his Spirit comforts. As Jesus sends you into new seasons, he sends his Counselor to go with you.
God treats you the way one mother treated her young son, Timmy. She didn’t like the thought of Timmy walking to his first-grade class unaccompanied. But he was too grown-up to be seen with his mother. “Besides,” he explained, “I can walk with a friend.” So she did her best to stay calm, quoting the Twenty-third Psalm to him every morning: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life . . . ”
One day she came up with an idea. She asked a neighbor to follow Timmy to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, lest he notice her. The neighbor was happy to oblige. She took her toddler on morning walks anyway.
After several days Timmy’s little friend noticed the lady and the child.
“Do you know who that woman is who follows us to school?”
“Sure,” Timmy answered. “That’s Shirley Goodnest and her daughter Marcy.”
“Who?”
“My mom reads about them every day in the Twenty-third Psalm. She says, ‘Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life.’ Guess I’ll have to get used to them.”
You will too. God never sends you out alone. Are you on the eve of change? Do you find yourself looking into a new chapter? Is the foliage of your world showing signs of a new season? Heaven’s message for you is clear: when everything else changes, God’s presence never does. You journey in the company of the Holy Spirit, who “will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you” (John 14:26 NLT).

1. Inspiration: An Unholy Trinity
Job search is hard.
Along with divorce, job search is one of the toughest attacks on your ego that you will ever face. To be sure, there are things in life that are tougher, such as the death of a loved one, a life-threatening illness or injury, and maybe a prison sentence.
I'm constantly reminded of the fact that, in search, we are called upon to be at our professional best right after someone told us we weren't worth having around any more. That's enough to get you down right there! But there may be other, more negative forces working on you than meets the eye.
John Eldredge writes in Wild at Heart, "Whatever specific terrain you are called to -- at home, at work ... you will always encounter three enemies: the world, the flesh, and the devil. They make up sort of an unholy trinity." When we reach a crisis point in our lives, the unholy trinity combines forces to make the battle even tougher. Job search isn't just about finding a job; it's part of a cosmic battle for our hearts. Here's a glimpse into what's going on:
1. The world attacks our hearts.
The world rejects us. Your former employer said, "Get lost." Your target company said, "We don't want you." Your networking contact said, "I'm too busy." All this rejection can wear us down.
The world tells us to change our attitude. "Friend, you've got to change your attitude. You've got to pull yourself up by the bootstraps." Sometimes I think those of us with good intentions and good attitudes lay a guilt trip on those who don't share our positive outlook on life. The person with the bad attitude often thinks, "What's wrong with me that I can't snap my fingers and suddenly be in a good mood?" To the encouragers of the world, including myself, I am saying to help people pull themselves up when they are unable to do it themselves.
2. The flesh attacks our hearts.
The flesh betrays us. Did you notice on the previous point that part of it was about the world sending the seeker a message, but the response came from within the mind of the seeker? Our self-talk is one of the most destructive forces to our psyche. Everyone has negative thoughts; we handle those thoughts differently. One affirmation I use is: "I think positive. I deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel out any negative thought that comes to mind concerning my personal powers. I have formed the habit of positive thinking."
Pride is another destructive force. I've seen a lot of people derail their job search because of pride. Friends, humble yourselves and ask for help. Ask friends for help; listen to their counsel. Ask for professional help; it may pay dividends far beyond your job search. Ask God for help; he is standing at your door and knocking.
And speaking of the flesh, poor health -- whether it's a disease, illness or injury -- can play a big role in a job search. Do everything you can to maintain good health, and if that isn't enough -- if your health is still a factor -- use your advisory team to develop a realistic, achievable goal for your career.
3. The devil attacks our hearts.
The devil deceives us. Sometimes that self-doubt isn't just from you. Jesus called the devil "the father of lies." He was speaking to the Pharisees when he said, "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies." (John 8:44)
The father of lies may be speaking to you. Satan may be placing negative thoughts in your head and fear in your heart. He just loves it when we are at a crisis point in our lives because we are so vulnerable. "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." (1 Peter 5:8)
Eldredge writes in Captivating, "All the Enemy has to do to destroy people is to get them isolated, [like] a lamb separated from the flock." Satan wants to separate you from your employer, your target companies, your network, your advisory team, your family -- and, most of all -- your spouse. Don't let the enemy win! Fight back with the power of the Holy Trinity.

I used to work in an office that was right beside some railroad tracks. Every now and then I'd see a 100-car train loaded with coal start from a complete standstill. It took four engines working at maximum power to get it rolling. At first it moved very slowly, but before it was out of sight, it would be moving at 45 miles per hour.
Which way is your train headed?
Maybe those four engines -- your negative attitude, combined with the world, the flesh and the devil -- have you headed south. They're building momentum, and you're headed in the wrong direction.
Stop the engines. Change your course. Pray for a willing spirit; derail the forces of evil working against you. Hook up the powerful engines of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Get your train rolling toward True North.
See you (every Friday morning)tomorrow at JobSeekers, where we claim the power of the Holy Trinity.

2. Success Story: Husband and Wife Land Jobs in the Same Week
We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.
Last week I received five "Hey Dave, I got a job" messages in 33 hours. The twist? It was for seven people; two messages were for both the husband and the wife. Friends, there is hope. To shorten your search, here's what you need: world-class tools, excellent communication skills, a winning game plan, and a positive attitude.
Here's one of the two messages from both a husband and a wife.
- - - - -
Hey guys,
I wanted to let you know that I accepted an offer for a "bill paying job" today with (name withheld for privacy) that starts Monday...It puts me back...in salary, but it'll certainly exceed unemployment. I'm grateful for the offer and will attack it with vim and vigor. I've been hired for a newly created position and, from the job description, I have the transferable skills to do well with it. (X) is a good company with a good reputation in the industry.
I wanted to tell all of you and the rest of the Ship's Crew "thank you" for all of your support. When I was first let go... (my wife)told a co-worker about my situation. The advice (the co-worker) sent to me was "tell him he can go ahead and thank God right now for what He is going to provide." It resonated with me. I knew she was 100% right from the second I heard it. Of course I was thinking of my next job. Until about six months into it, I had no idea that the biggest gift He was going to provide was the relationships that came during the job search journey, most of then out of JobSeekers of PTC. You guys are awesome! Thanks.

3. This Week's Meeting: Acing the Interview
To be better prepared for the meeting, bring a "good fit" job lead and three copies of your resume with you. Hopefully, your lead will be for a job interview you have next week. If you don't have an interview scheduled, bring a job lead and your preparation for a position you'd like to interview for.
My concern is that we work hard to win interviews, and then don't do the preparation it takes to capitalize on the opportunities when they finally come along. Tomorrow, we'll get some practice in so you can "ace" your next interview.
Who: All are welcome; the topics are targeted for professionals, managers and executives.
What: JobSeekers is a nondenominational career ministry.
When: Friday mornings from 7:30 to 10:00 am.
Where: First Baptist Church in Peachtree City; 208 Willow Bend Road.
Why: We work with you to find a job, and we walk with you on your journey of faith.
Attire: Business casual.
Agenda: 7:30 coffee / 7:45 welcome and devotional / 8:10 introductions and announcements / 8:45 job search training module / 10:00 adjourn to the Atlanta Bread Company

About last night's meeting at RUMC
We're hearing that last night's job networking meeting, held at RUMC, was really helpful to our GEN folks. If you haven't heard yet, this is one of the biggest ministries in the Southeast for those in career transition. Over 240 volunteers help those searching for new jobs, and there are usually 70 or more volunteers on-site at each meeting.
We will probably go together to one RUMC meeting each month (we'll discuss that more at our next GEN meeting here at FPC), but of course you can attend on your own. The RUMC meetings are held on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month. For more info, call 770-642-7943.
Also, you can join the RUMC job networking group at www.LinkedIn.com, or find an accountability group at www.C3G.org.

Roswell's networking ministry makes the national news with Diane Sawyer
GEN-ers, here's a story about Roswell UMC's career networking ministry. This ran last week on World News Tonight with Diane Sawyer.
Career Ministry Gives Unemployed Bit of Faith for Job Search
Recruiters, Execs, Volunteers Advise on Resumes and Interviews, Offer Dash of Hope
By ENJOLI FRANCIS
Aug. 5, 2010
"At Roswell United Methodist Church in Georgia, Monday nights offer a different kind of ministry -- career ministry.
Recruiters, corporate executives and volunteers from other churches come to Roswell's Career Services with a mission: to help people tossed out of work and running out of hope.
While unemployment in the United States is 9.5 percent, Georgia's unemployment rate has hovered at 10 percent for 2.5 years, according to Michael Thurmond, the state's commissioner of labor.
The U.S. Labor Department said today that new claims for unemployment insurance had risen by 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 479,000. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warned early in the week that the unemployment rate may rise for a couple of months before it falls again.
"[The volunteers] do this all day long and then they come at night and they spend several hours with job seekers giving their time and expertise to them," said Roswell volunteer Katherine Simons. "They just feel so good about the fact that they can make a difference. It's really loving your neighbor."
One recent Monday night, more than 300 people attended the networking meeting looking for help, from writing resumes to interviews. For many in the group, it was the first time in their career to be without a job.
"Most of us haven't been in a job search in years," said Jo Burkhardt, an executive recruiter who lost her job in the apparel industry. "For me, it has been over 20 years."
Burkhardt said career ministry helped her persevere to the new job she now treasures.
"Faith-based groups not only teach you the fundamentals of the job search and all of the different tools that you use and how to network, but they teach you, they provide the support along the way, that emotional support," she said.
Wally Anderson, a sales executive for more than 30 years, worked for a national software company. He said unemployment takes its toll on a soul.
"I think once you're in that position, you'll never look at an unemployed person in the same way," he said. "Many times we're too busy. We don't get involved, but this is an epidemic."
He called the career ministry "a safe haven." Anderson recently found a job. "It took me approximately 90 days and that's not normally the case for someone my age. I love my job. It's a great company," he said.
Labor Commissioner: Career Ministry Programs 'Have Inspired Me'
Thurmond, the state's commissioner of labor, said programs like Roswell's Career Services fill a void that the government can't.
"Government is limited," he said. "We are being negatively impacted by budget cuts. ... There's only so much we can do. We're here from 8 to 5, Monday through Friday. But obviously there's a need for service and intervention on the weekends and in the evening."
Thurmond said career ministry has helped thousands of Georgians who have been out of work for or years.
"What Roswell does is provide them with the information and support, but more importantly with the spiritual support that allows people to go back out in a very difficult job market and continue to search," Thurmond said.
"It's the networking. ... It's the faith. My affiliation with this ministry inspires me to come back," he said.
Valeria Farris was out of work for almost a year. "I never would have imagined it ever. I was always able to rebound, find other work, find some industries to work in. This time it was just totally different," she said.
Now she works from home, designing instructor-led training for companies around the world. She credits Roswell's Career Services program.
"I never would have thought of going out and looking for opportunities outside the United States if I had not lost my job," she said. "It's going great. I absolutely love it." "

Career Ministry Gives Unemployed Bit of Faith for Job Search
Recruiters, Execs, Volunteers Advise on Resumes and Interviews, Offer Dash of Hope

"At Roswell United Methodist Church in Georgia, Monday nights offer a different kind of ministry -- career ministry.
Recruiters, corporate executives and volunteers from other churches come to Roswell's Career Services with a mission: to help people tossed out of work and running out of hope.
While unemployment in the United States is 9.5 percent, Georgia's unemployment rate has hovered at 10 percent for 2.5 years, according to Michael Thurmond, the state's commissioner of labor.
The U.S. Labor Department said today that new claims for unemployment insurance had risen by 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 479,000. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner warned early in the week that the unemployment rate may rise for a couple of months before it falls again.
"[The volunteers] do this all day long and then they come at night and they spend several hours with job seekers giving their time and expertise to them," said Roswell volunteer Katherine Simons. "They just feel so good about the fact that they can make a difference. It's really loving your neighbor."
One recent Monday night, more than 300 people attended the networking meeting looking for help, from writing resumes to interviews. For many in the group, it was the first time in their career to be without a job.
"Most of us haven't been in a job search in years," said Jo Burkhardt, an executive recruiter who lost her job in the apparel industry. "For me, it has been over 20 years."
Burkhardt said career ministry helped her persevere to the new job she now treasures.
"Faith-based groups not only teach you the fundamentals of the job search and all of the different tools that you use and how to network, but they teach you, they provide the support along the way, that emotional support," she said.
Wally Anderson, a sales executive for more than 30 years, worked for a national software company. He said unemployment takes its toll on a soul.
