volunteers of the week BAPTIST BUILDERS

This week's volunteers of the week at The Community Fellowship are the Baptist Builders!!!

 

We are excited to tell you about a group of men who have been working at our new campus each Thursday.  The Baptist Builders group from Danville, Virginia have been a great blessing as they have helped with all phases of construction over the last year.

 

This awesome group of men is led by Mr. Bill Miller (far left in picture).  Anywhere from 3 to 9 men have traveled the 80 miles round trip many times over the last year.  Most of these men are members of Danville's Tabernacle Baptist Church and are part of SBCV's Baptist Builders.

 

Baptist Builders helps churches that are working on new buildings or renovating old ones.  These men come from varied backgrounds and bring lots of skills with them when they arrive at their work site.  Bill and these men have worked along side our own Kasim Adams, others from our church and mission teams that have come to help with our huge project.

 

During the last year Bill's wife learned that she had cancer as well as lost her battle with cancer.  We have come to know and to love this giant of a man.  His faith and passion have been a great encouragement to all who have worked with Him and his team.

 

Baptist Builders remind us of this truth from God:

 

1 Peter 4:10 NLT

God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another.

 

It is an honor to work with Bill Miller and the Baptist Builders team, and we proud to call them our Volunteers of the Week!

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....

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 ...
