Newnan, GA Church Plant - in a BAR

I met Alex Early months ago - while he was still in school in London. In September he moved back to Newnan, Georgia. Alex had been working with a team of guys on the ground in Newnan and when his plane landed - things got crazy! God seems to have some great plans for Newnan and Alex and crew are getting to enjoy His work! Listen to this:
Months ago Alex had hoped to that they could find a place to meet on the Square in Newnan - not many options. One option was a bar - The Alamo. That door seemed to close
Alex and crew began working on building their core before 'officially launching' the church. 13 people met in his home.
within a few weeks that # trippled and they were running out of space.
One of the visitors was the owner of The Alamo - who quickly offered their bar, RENT FREE.
Only 2 months in they are running 80+!!! (And still haven't "Officially Launched."

Alex and the church will hear this week about his A-29 application and assessment results. Pray for Alex, his leadership, and this new church.
Below are some pics of the church in a bar - and their 1st baptism!
