Just as our bodies have many parts and
each part has a special
function,
I used
to love baseball. Summers were consumed
with watching the Chicago Cubs on TV station WGN at 1:05 or 3:05 many days
along with going out in our backyard to bounce the ball and play catch. I still love sports, but baseball has taken a
backseat to NASCAR and football. I
learned some things.
I
learned that the fourth person in your batting order needed to be a great
hitter that could make things happen. I
learned that you had to some key fielders who could make things happen on the
field. I learned that you better have
some depth in your bullpen with a late inning reliever that threw the baseball
fast and consistent.

The
same is true in our back2school
outreach. 2012 marks our 5th year, and
this will be the greatest of all events.
One of those reasons is because on the same day and at the same time at
three locations across our county students will be served in the same way. This is exciting, an answer to prayer and the
fulfillment of a dream God gave us some time ago.
With
the addition of 2 more churches God brought us some strong players. Let me illustrate…
Let me
introduce you to faith dude. This is guy
who sat at the table with us reminded us that God would provide. He works to do his part and to encourage
others to see what God has done and is doing.
All through the process he reminds us that God is making it all happen
in big ways.
And
you need to meet excited lady. This is
the woman who sends me multiple text messages, and she is more excited than
anyone and even a bit nervous. When she
speaks up, more people get excited.
Excited lady and faith dude add huge parts to our team.
This
organization nazi (I mean guru) is making it happen. Sometimes I don’t like this person very much,
but there is no way to get it done without them. This person looks at the details and sees how
the pieces fit together. I see the big
picture and the results. This special
person sees the details that have to get done and how to make it happen.
Get is
done girl will do whatever it takes to make it a success. When I get frazzled, this is the girl who
lets me know she is ready to help. She
shows up at odd times or at just the right time. She too is excited and helps motivate
others. Her work ethic says I won’t stop
until it’s done.
Nope. I will not tell you their names because no
matter the event you have to have some people much like these. The people who are part of our team are
incredible. God has given them talent
and ability to take us to the next level.
I am grateful for God’s moving among us and for His providing us with a
powerful team.
This
year’s back2school outreach is going
to be bigger, better and sweeter than we could even imagine. That is due to the fact that God is
able. Believe it. Now watch God work. I love this!
The human body has many parts, but the
many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.
They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with
those in need.
