men on a mission


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.

There will be here before long.  Three years ago many of these same people were with us when we began working on our future campus.  That week was awesome as the men on a mission team accomplished more than any of us thought possible.

Now they return.  The list of items that they are going to try to complete is huge, and these projects will move us forward in excellent, big ways.  I am excited about the possibilities. 

Would you join me in praying for this team?  Pray for their safety and for the work that they will do.

Some will be skilled laborers.  Others will be willing workers.  Together they will accomplish more as each person employs their skill to complete our future campus. 

Isaiah 54:2  NLT
“Enlarge the place of your tent; Stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; Lengthen your cords And strengthen your pegs.

We have owned what we refer to as our new campus for four years and have been working on it almost non-stop.  I believe we are moving toward the church and our ministries begin located in this special place.

Would you join the work team?  If you live close, come work with us next week.  Maybe you can spend Memorial Day with us or even more of the week.  Your help would be another amazing part of finishing the project. 

God’s call on our church and lives is to demonstrate His love to all we get to serve with no strings attached.  This new campus will allow us serve more people and in more ways.

I cannot wait to share more with you.  Next week and this team will be a gift from God to our church.  This is going to be awesome!

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....
