Adkins Update

Long Overdue

So it's time for a long overdue update on the Adkins. A lot has happened since I went raspberry picking with the Rumbaughs! :) It is now 2008 and I have a few months to catch you up on.

2007 was a good year. It was tough though with the struggle we had with Todd's back. He originally injured in in January of 2003 and had trouble on and off with it, but last February he re-injured it and was struggling to walk. He had some PT and it got a little better. Then this past fall the pain started going down his leg and got worse, so we had another MRI and this time they said it was time for surgery. We are currently in NC recovering from this past Friday's operation. He is doing well. The surgery went great and the pain in his leg and back is gone. He is just feeling soreness now and taking it easy. We praise God for taking care of us and for providing a great doctor to do the surgery and for being able to be with family through this. The recovery time is 6 to 8 weeks. He can be up and around, but just can't lift anything heavier than 10 lbs. The good news is he can wash dishes again! :) Please pray that he will recover quickly and regain strength in his back and legs soon.

Frontline Arlington has now been going for a year and is a success. They consistently have around 450 people a week. Over 100 people have accepted Christ and many new small groups have been started praise God. Todd has begun to transition out of overseeing the campus and is now the Executive Director of Frontline.

Amy has been at the law firm for over a year and a half now and still enjoys it. Her job is such a blessing!

McLean just lauched another campus this past Sunday out in Loudoun County. They had two services and 1300 people attended. We pray this new campus will reach many more with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Uptown campus that Todd was helping to start has been put on hold right now as there are zoning issues with the property and our request to have service there has been denied. We are appealing that decision currently. Even though we haven't been able to start the campus we are able to start community groups and reach out to the neighborhood. Please pray for God's will to be done with this campus.
