One way to add #’s to the church plant
Posted: 21st April 2010 by ap in Aletheia Ministry Stuff, Church Planting, Proffitt Family HappeningsNow I know that one of the newest upcoming trends in church planting is to avoid talking about the dreaded “numbers.” How many did you have on Sunday? How many are coming out each week? How many are you running? These are the non-postmodern sensitive questions that you get as a church planter all the [...]
Every once in a while I like to give an update on what’s going on both in the ministry and with the family. Well, here it is, in no particular order… Yesterday marked one year since our arrival in Tampa (wow! that was a crazy year) We have seen a church built up from an [...]
So when Ashlee and I decided to follow God’s desire for us, namely to come to Tampa to plant the next Aletheia church, we left everything that was comfortable and stable to us. I had a stable job with steady income. We did not have to worry about our financial situation from month to month. [...]
I’m sitting here at the hospital in Ashlee’s bed, with Asher, while his mom is taking a shower. We are waiting to get discharged (poor choice of words in my book but that is the correct hospital lingo)…I prefer released. It’s been a roller coaster ride of a weekend that began at 8am on Saturday [...]
As I think back to the births of my first two sons, I can honestly say that I took a lot of things for granted. I really didn’t pay much attention to the boys when they were hanging out in mom’s belly. I just figured what I couldn’t see really wasn’t a part of my [...]
A recent update I sent out to our supporters

And so many of you [...]
When you’ve got a kid that gets as happy as mine does when he hears music that it makes him start to dance like a mad man, you just have to get that on video. So, here is my 2 and a half year old son Andrew David Proffitt doing his thing.
What do you want to accomplish in 2010?
Posted: 29th December 2009 by ap in Proffitt Family HappeningsNew year’s excite me to no end. I have so many thoughts of grandeur for 2010 that I can hardly stand it. Some of my desires and goals for this next year are… 1. Have a healthy baby boy born at the end of February 2. See 100 people accept Jesus into their heart through [...]
So we got over the hump that was the dreaded November 15th. To say that we were looking forward to that happening is the understatement of the year. As morning dawned and we awoke on Sunday, tears began to fill Ashlee’s eyes and it broke my heart. All of those memories of what happened last [...]
