Friends

Blogged by Antwon Davis On 5:19 PM

I’ve met quite a few unique people since I’ve been blogging. I thought I’d take the time to acknowledge some of them. Some of these people are influential leaders, bloggers, writers, pastors, authors, designers, entrepreneurs, visionaries, and catalysts of our time. It has been an honor to call some of these people friends. So let’s get the list rollin’...

1. Vincent Hunt: Met him about 8 years ago. Became my mentor and has since inspired a lot of what I do today. He’s one of those guys you’d like to be around just to feed off of his energy. You can find him at Sapien Harbor.Com.

2. Bishop J. Nathan Paige: Met him about 12 years ago or more. He used to pick me up everyday from high school. He pastors a church in Albany, GA. He has a genuine heart for God’s people and he heads on of the hottest Gospel Choirs I know. You can find him on Myspace.

3. Daniel Gilland: Met him about 5 months ago at an interest meeting at Georgia State University. He has a passion for engaging college students in the city. He’s a big dreamer and blogger. You can find him at Daniel Gilland.Com.

4. Milan Ford: Met him about 3 years ago at New Birth. He was the college director of the Outlet College Ministry. He now attends North Point and is about to publish his first book. This guy is a beast when it comes to wisdom and insight on ministry. You can find him at The Pew View.Com.

5. Hajj Flemmings: Met him through Vincent about 3 months ago. He’s one of those unique entrepreneurs. He focuses on developing personal brands. You can find him at Hajj Flemmings.Com.

6. Jesse Phillips: Met him about 4 months ago on Facebook. He’s the brains behind the Catalyst website. He’s deeply passionate about Jesus and engaging the culture. Another young visionary and blogger. You can find him on his blog.

7. Talia: Met her about 2 months ago through Vincent. She has a vision to impact this Hip Hop Generation through a project known as Hip Hop Grows Up, Inc. You can find her on Myspace.

8. Shannon Thomas: Met her about 1 ½ months ago through Vincent. She has a unique vision for engaging and impacting college campuses with the message of Jesus Christ in a relevant and authentic way. She’s the author of an upcoming book, “Taking the Yard”. You can find her on Myspace.

9. Shaun King: Met him about 1 ½ months ago through Facebook. This guy is such a fireball of energy and passion. He’s in the process of planting an awesome church in downtown Atlanta known as the Courageous Church. We both attend Buckhead Church and share a lot of common views on ministry. You can find him at ShaunInTheCity.Com.

10. Scott Williams: Met him about 1 month ago through Jerry Hurley of LifeChurch.tv. He’s one of the campus pastors at LifeChurch.tv and is a phenomenal leader. You can find him at BigIsTheNewSmall.Com.

11. Bishop Victor L. Powell: Met him about 2 months ago through Vincent Hunt. He pastors a church in Albany, GA. He’s a visionary and a catalyst who’s challenging people to ThinkBig. You can find him at VictorLPowell.Com.

12. Sterling Brown: Met him through my blog about 4 days ago. He is the pastor of City Life International Church - which is the same church Daniel Gilland attends and serves (small world, huh?). You can find him on his blog.


...It’s been an awesome experience. God is definitely pouring out dreams and visions all over the place, and I’m just lucky to be apart.
