Saturday at the LA Dream Center

This was a day for the memory books. I finally got wifi and was able to share with people some blog posts and more.

Our team began the day at a little diner close to Angeles Temple talking about what we've seen and learned while serving here. It was moving, even to tears, to hear stories and life change and what God has done. I'm grateful for Brett, Andy, Donna and Milette who have served next to me this week.

This morning was the every Saturday event known at "adopt-a-block" ministry where in multiple locations people go out to serve, share and encourage others all over metro LA. We went to south-central LA and the area known as the Pueblos. We shared food and other items with about 40 families. It was sweet to hear the testimony of 14 year old YaYaa who talked about how God has changed her life. We also talked with Kim who helps lead ministry at this site. I always love going to this site. Great people. Excellent ministry.

We spent the rest of the day celebrating Donna's birthday at The Grove LA. It's an impressive farmers market and mall. It is so good to enjoy being with like minded people who love Jesus. I learned a lot and saw God move today.

Tomorrow which is Sunday we will attend two worship services at the Dream Center's Angeles Temple. The 2nd is a graduation for Dream Center Discipleship.

I'm praying for my Community Fellowship family and the worship service there as well.

More to come...

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....
