The possible rebirth of Clay County

I have been thinking a lot about where we could live and be a huge progressive force in a community, equipping poverty stricken and hopeless individuals to better their lives and the lives of their brothers and sisters. In this Fort Gaines, Georgia keeps coming to mind. This is a tiny town in the poorest county in Georgia and one I am well acquainted with as my family goes way back in this community and I still go there a few times a year.
I have spoken with most of you about this but I want to post some information on the community to see what you think. Read it, pray about it and comment.

I talked with Blair a bit about the possibility of buying a cheap large antebellum home in the "downtown" which is falling about and fixing it up as a community home. This is a town which hope, energy, and education can change things immensely for the better.
