it's the LA Dream Center

Our team is at the LA Dream Center continuing to experience and learn amazing things that God does.  We've been part of outreach projects on Skid Row and in various parts of the city.  We've helped families that have lost their children to foster care and gained them back.  We've spent time with the homeless.  We've wrapped Christmas gifts for kids and much more.

 

This is one of my favorite places in the world.  I ask you to pray for The Community Dream Center that we intend to open soon in Henry County, VA.  The newspaper, Martinsville Bulletin, mentioned our work in an article yesterday as well.  Already we are able to feed hundreds of people each month and help many with clothes and other benevolent items.  But we've yet to realize the opening of a homeless shelter for men and families and a transition program or discipleship program that will help men get their lives back on track. 

 

I'm excited about our dream.  One excellent leader said something like this … help others reach their dreams, and you will reach your dreams.  I believe that.  Another reason we are in LA.  Another reason we share with those in need.

 

But the big reason is JESUS.  He gives hope.  He puts us and others on a path of abundant living and love.  I'm excited about the greatness of God flowing through people that are sold out to sharing God's love with others.  Are you one of those?  Join me.  Join others doing the same.

 

Deuteronomy 15:11 NLT

There will always be some in the land who are poor. That is why I am commanding you to share freely with the poor and with other Israelites in need.

 

Isaiah 58:7 NLT

Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

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....
