men on a mission DAY 3


1 Timothy 6:18  NLT
Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.

It has literally been an awesome week working with 70 men from several different states and about 15 different churches.  These men are working like well-oiled machines accomplishing various tasks on our new and future campus.  We are blessed.

The work the “men on a mission” group is doing totals up to around $100,000 of donation in labor costs.  That is a huge gift to our church and a huge push forward to the completion of buildings for The Community Fellowship and Dream Center.

One of the blessings and encouraging things that happens when a mission team is together are the stories and testimonies we hear from those on the team.  Two men from our church and I sat with Dr. Don yesterday for several minutes listening to all God has done in his life (he is the man standing in the picture).  I will not recount his story for you other than to share how God had mercy on a young man when he was ready to literally give up.  He also shared how God saved him through the prayers for a faithful acquaintance and then how God saved his father.  The story of his dad’s salvation including acts of forgiveness that took my breath away.

Are you ready to share what God has done for you?  Be ready as the verse above says.  Tell others what God has done, what you have learned and more.  Just like the building and how it is coming together, share how God is putting your life together for your good and for His glory.

I cannot wait to hear more from this team and see their accomplishments over the rest of the days of this week.  We really are blessed!

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....
