another conference, lots of learning

It was an honor to attend ARC's All Access Conference in Clayton, NC.  Speakers were off the hook awesome.  Look thru my blog for some of the notes from the speakers (Ed Young Jr, Joe Champion, Rick Bezet, Dino Rizzo, Chris Hodges, Greg Surratt to name a few ... google their names for infor).  What I inspected and was most touched was a deep desire to plant churches that impact this world for Christ.  That is the most important part that Billy Hornsby, ARC's leader, and it's church promote.  Yes, the friends and mentoring were terrific, but I have a heart for planting churches.  So, I pray.  I pray that The Community Fellowship and I will dig in deeper to reproduce ourselves so that Christ will be reproduced in the lives of people seeking Him.
 
Thanks to Gayle Bennett for all your help!  Awesome to finally meet Dino Rizzo in person as well as Dan Ohlerking (one of my new heroes).  Right now, I'm living in the overflowing as God is sharing!

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....
