reason 1 of 5 for back2school


The back2school outreach is one of the greatest things that happens around The Community Fellowship each year, and there are pieces of this project that I am still in awe over.  Lives have been and will be changed.  Churches have been challenged and stepped up to do even more.  The stories are good and seem endless.

This week I will share with you 5 reasons why we do back2school.  Today is day 1!!!

One of the reasons we lead out in this project is because working with others Christians is something God told us to do.  We are stronger working together.  We challenge each other to go further and do more.  Together we are able to serve more people and make a bigger impact.

Philippians 2:2  NASB
make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

It really is this simple.  When the people of God choose to work together, we do more and draw more attend to God.  I want to do this even more!

John 12:32  NASB
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”

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 ...
