John Gray recalls the moment God spoke to him to minister in Atlanta in 2012. Atlanta was where he first met his wife years ago and where they later started their family.
For the Grays, planting a church in the Atlanta area makes sense as it is an expanding and diverse area, which they hope will attract multicultural believers. The church will be located at 4655 Macland Road in Powder Springs and will tentatively begin midweek services early this summer.
“It will allow us to teach, train and build,” John Gray said. “God doesn’t send you anywhere unless there is a teachable moment or component.”
Additionally, the Grays are preparing for their third annual Relentless ONE Conference, an in-person and virtual event happening May 27-30. This year’s conference theme is “I Believe” and will feature workshops, outreach events and dynamic speakers, including Pastor Taffi Dollar of World Changers Church International in College Park, Georgia, and the Rev. A.R. Bernard of Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, New York, as well as various gospel music artists, including Erica Campbell, Michelle Williams, Travis Greene and Tasha Page-Lockhart.
“The camaraderie and the overall life-giving aspects of the conference should catapult you forward to make you feel like you can believe in something new beyond what you’ve seen last year,” Aventer Gray said, adding that she will host the EmpoweHER luncheon for women while her husband will host the Man-to-Man Leadership luncheon.
