Ruffin Snow showed me Jesus

I was in 3rd grade.  My mom and I began attending Eastwood Baptist Church.  I was already going to school there and really enjoyed it.  My first day in children's church was overwhelming, to say the least.  Lots of kids.  Lots of kids who road the bus.  Then the man who spoke to us grabbed our attention and help it for a long time (at least for a 3rd grader).  I remember my Sunday School teacher visiting in our home that next week.  I remember Brother Ruffin sharing and loving on those kids.  He spoke in chapel at school, too.  We have just connected through Facebook this week, and I just had to say WOW.  God is good.  He now pastors a church just a couple hours from where we live.  God used Ruffin Snow to touch my life.  By reading the notes written to him on Facebook, it is evident that Ruffin Snow has touched many, many people for Jesus for lots of year.  Keep on Brother Ruffin and thank you!

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 ...

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....
