Fwd: TOGETHER: Catalyst 08 day 2

Yesterday began the adventure as I served as a volunteer and helped sale tones of books.  Lots of cool people.  The theme is TOGETHER.

I started out meeting at Sonrise Baptist Church in Spartantburg, SC and pastor David Moore and some of his team.  They are dreaming big for their area as they listen to God, finishing up their new building and seek to meet people where they are for Jesus.  That was an awesome conversation and seeing God time.

Today I get to hear some giant people, in my opinion.  Andy Stanley, Craig Groeschel, Steven Furtick, Seth Godin and others.  Pray for the 12,000 leaders meeting at the Gwinnett Area near Atlanta for Catalyst 08.

1 Corinthians 14:31 (nlt) --- In this way, all who prophesy will have a turn to speak, one after the other, so that everyone will learn and be encouraged.

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...
