I love these guys

Daniel 10:19  NLT
“Don’t be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God.  Peace!  Be encouraged!  Be strong!”  As he spoke these words to me, I suddenly felt stronger and said to him, “Please speak to me, my lord, for you have strengthened me.”

Today’s thought is going to be short and sweet.  We are in the middle of getting ready for our back2school outreach that happens this Friday and Saturday, and we spent Tuesday getting several of the pieces together.  Wednesday is going to be another busy day with a road trip and delivering shoes to all 5 of our locations!  I so love what we get to do.

And I love these guys too.  The people from our partner churches have been a great encouragement to me.  The pastors from these churches have spoken words of courage and strength so many times.  I know these guys pray for me, and I pray for them.

Last night we packed the backpacks that will be given away this weekend.  As I interacted with the few hundred people who came to help I was once again amazed.  They are friends.  They are partners.  And we are stronger because we are working together.

I pray that we will see miracles that only God can do as we seek to share His love and hope with students and their families.  I pray that each volunteer will be driven to see and serve God even more.  I pray that God will not just provide the resources to share with others but an abundance to help connect people with the one who really gives us all we have.


Pray :

Please pray for our back2school outreach that is 3 days away!  Thank you for PRAYING!  To give click this LINK and select “back2school”.  It takes all of us to get it done, and what a blessing this work is.

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....
