Welcome to the Bink!
At the beginning of August 2006, four men ages 20-25 moved in together at 367 Binkley Dr in Nashville, TN. Unlike other living situations where you might find 4 strapping young bachelors, the purpose of the community at 367 Binkley is specifically to build disciples in the name of Christ within the house (among the 4 residents) and outside the house in keeping with the great commission.
Recognizing a lack of male Christian leadership in the church and in the world, and recognizing a heartbreaking rate of departure from the church when young Christians graduate high school (which I believe is a direct result of a failure in education and true spirituality/discipleship), I, Beau Bristow, in conjunction with the Jonathan Edwards Education Foundation took on a leadership role in this "house ministry" in the spring of 2006.
After months of praying and searching for house members and a specific house, God blessed this work and lead me to our current house at 367 Binkley Dr and the current house members: Josh Wilson, Dave Dykstra, and Ross Creel.
We have given our house the title: "The Fellowship of The Bink." (Clearly an almost humorous blend of the address "367 Binkley" and the infamous "Fellowship of The Ring"....i emphasize almost)
Today's blog is an introduction to what we pray will be many months of growth and God's glory. Stay tuned...
