What a weekend, what a weekend, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE WEEKEND!!! If you attended, thought about attending, or simply prayed for our Saturday & Sunday events, we THANK YOU!!! If this weekend was any indication of the Lord’s plans for the city of Atlanta, WOW!!!
It all kicked off with over 2,000 (that’s right, over 2K) Reach Records fans jammed into the Georgia World Congress Center. Talk about a HOLY ROAR in the BUILDING, these guys showed Atlanta how Christian Hip Hop is supposed to be done!!! This being the last stop of their Don’t’ Waste Your Life tour, the artists (Flame, Lecrae, Sho Baraka, Tedashii & Trip Lee) gave a “second to NONE” performance. The energy in the room shook the ground, the walls and the windows (LITERALLY)!!
For those of you who were not aware, Reach Records has actually moved their headquarters to Atlanta and will continue to partner with Blueprint to impact this city for God’s glory…
YEAH BOYEE!!!
Please continue to pray for their families and their transition!!!
Fast forward to Sunday morning, the day began with anticipation, energy and excitement. I think the entire team was antsy to see God do something unique during the service. Believe me when I say that He did not disappoint. Close to 300 in attendance. An unbelievably diverse crowd. Engaging and meaningful worship coupled with a practical and profound message.
Special thanks to Pastor Ken Rucker, Shawna McBee and the incredible team from New Branch Community Church (who left their Sunday service up in Dacula, GA in order to come assist us). With their help, we were able to offer a fun and meaningful children’s service. Great are your rewards in Heaven guys!!!
To say we were extremely pleased with the weekend would be an understatement. In fact, check out what @drewflet had to say on his blog:
“The love and passion for Christ was so thick. It was so exciting to see such a diverse group of people in the same service, there were brothers and sisters from all ages and races praising the Lord together.”
Amazing!!!
The Sketch weekend also marked the launching of our “Are You Blu?” campaign, along with our new-look website and a host of dates & times of upcoming events (including a picnic in Candler Park on September 12th). For more information, visit us online and as always, feel free to pass this on to any family members and friends!
Above all, continue to pray for us. Our total confidence & dependence is in our Heavenly Father. We’re daily relying upon Him to keep us true to our mission: Unleashing healthy people to do ministry where life exist.

I have been saved since 1996, me & my hubby Ivan, & we both walked away from Blueprints launch service with a glimpse of what Heaven must have in store! The diversity, the awesome praise & definitely the Holy Spirit was present! God has used us in various ways…but today is a new day…I look forward to continually coming, continually growing & continually going! Big ups to Dhati & Angie as well as Reach Records & all who have sacrificed to answer the call of God for the city of ATL & metro-ATL! “Yah done messed up & let us in ya hood!” Amen & Amen!
