give shoes / share Jesus with 10,000 kids

One of the organizations that we partner with and that is making a difference in the lives of kids around the world is Samaritans Feet.  Please take a few minutes to read the rest of this post.  Then go to the site listed below and vote for Kentucky's basketball coach, John Calipari.  Thanks for your help ... read on:
 
Coach Cal/Samaritan's Feet
Samaritan's Feet has partnered with University of Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari, ESPN and Infiniti to raise money for Samaritan's Feet (www.samaritansfeet.org). We have gotten $10,000 as part of this program.  However, if Coach Cal wins the vote, we would receive $100,000 instead, which would put 10,000 pairs of shoes on the feet of impoverished children in the US and worldwide. 
 
The good news is we are in 2nd place for the Infiniti ESPN Challenge. Unfortunately, we are 6% points behind Coach Donovan's charity.  We can't get beat by Florida.    Vote for Coach Calipari.
 
Is there any way that you could send this out to all your staff at work and friends and family to ask them to vote to help Samaritan's Feet win the $100,000?  Everyone can vote once a day until the contest ends on March 11th.
 
Here's the link to register to vote. http://promo.espn.go.com/espn/contests/infiniti/2011/

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....
