The OAG Blog: Purpose and Vision

Hello friends, and welcome to the new Operation Andrew Group (OAG) Blog!

We are excited to begin this conversation and hear from you as we share our stories. The purpose of this blog is to support the mission of OAG:

"We are followers of Jesus Christ, united in service to help spiritually and socially transform communities in Middle Tennessee."

Now we know that spiritual and social transformation doesn't necessarily take place on a blog- but we do know that this can be used as a powerful tool to connect people who may not have connected any other way. We would like to hear from pastors, business leaders, congregation members, community volunteers, and everyone in between about what you are doing in your small pocket of the globe, ideally somewhere in the Nashville or Middle Tennessee area, to effect spiritual and social transformation, and to seek reconciliation in the name of Jesus. We hope to allow many guest bloggers to post here, and share their stories, their dreams, and the actions that they are taking in their community to enact God's kingdom.

We will also utilize this blog to announce upcoming events in the community, and encourage conversation about issues that affect followers of Christ in the Nashville area and beyond.

Once again, thank you for beginning this blogging journey with us! We look forward to the many things that will unfold as we move forward. Please feel free to add us to your RSS feed or Google Reader.

John 17:21
