NEW AND AWESOME WEBSITE LAUNCHED! WATCH VIDEO and READ FREQUENT UPDATES AT: www.followthereids.com, or www.community-transformations.com

This June and July we’re taking time away from Kona to see Community Transformations Projects ( planted by our DTS Graduates) around the world.

We’re grateful to be able to spend  2 weeks in South Carolina visiting the Aho family and the radical community there! It was incredible to walk the streets of Greenville, and meet many of the homeless who have come to the Lord through Community Embraced. Spending mornings in the PrayerShed was such a highlight, people literally pull their cars off the street and start their day in a new way!

We also had the privilege of visiting the LOTproject (Least Of These project) in Anderson, S.C., an AMAZING ministry and House of Prayer we’re partnered with that is feeding, clothing, bringing to the Lord, training and disciplining the poorest of the poor. Check out our visit on http://www.followthereids.com/blog/

June 2nd – July 14th We’re in England with Bethany’s Family. While here we’ll be doing ‘Community Transformations Seminars’, evenings of Vision Casting and Sharing, and will be speaking at Grace Community Church Sunday July 11th. If you’re here, check the church newsletter or just contact us. We’d love one on one time with friends here!
July 14-21 We’re looking forward to a week of connecting in San Diego too…we’ll email more about events there closer to the time.

Baby Boy is due September 2nd, and will be born in Kona!

Bless you, our Friends, as you carry us in prayer and are faithful to support us financially. We are always thankful for you and LOVE hearing from you.

Please write to us! Much love,

The Reid Family

The 4th COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATIONS DTS will run again in Kona this October. The Lord is building something remarkable and we are EAGERLY anticipating the DTS! please check out the DTS page at www.uofnkona.edu (click on right hand side of page, ‘Community Transformations DTS’)

Recently as a family we were in South Carolina, visiting Comm Trans partners who are seeing Jesus made famous in their community, speaking in churches, and enjoying southern hospitality. There are many stories to tell, some of which will appear in the coming days, but one I felt to highlight was ?The LOT Project?. LOT stands for Least Of These.

Our dear friends Jed and Melodie, community transformations graduates and partners were part of the beginnings of the Lot Project. Jed introduced me to Matt Beasley while there and our hearts connected immediately. He?s a fiery, young, laid down lover of Jesus with Tattoos. The evening we had together we spent time with the poor and homeless, talked about the Lord, planned some potential community transformations teams to come down to be part of this, and dreamed about transformation in the community we were in, Anderson, South Carolina. Then we walked over to the ?AHOP? (Anderson House Of Prayer).

AHOP is next door to the LOT project. The marriage of prayer and missions in a clear commitment to love the poor, share the gospel, and love the Lord together in the house of prayer. There will be much to come on this, as the house of prayer is almost finished with construction, and in the last days the Lord has spoken clearly that Community Transformations and the Lot project/Ahop are to partner together to see transformation. It?s beautiful. All around the world the Lord is awakening Intimacy unto fruitfulness. Check out this video about AHOP and pray for these guys as they pioneer a lifestyle of Prayer and Urban Missions in Anderson, South Carolina.
To his glory
