they were here 3 years ago



By the end of that week there were walls.  Those walls were everywhere.  The childrenā€™s area had rooms.  The gym and bathrooms took shape.  The worship area had life and walls and even more of the stage.  This team took us in 4 days from 0 to 60 in record time.

3 years later we have come a very long way and have filled in lots of the gaps between the times that Men On a Mission was here then and now.  There are some huge pieces that this team is set to accomplish this coming week.  Some of these will make is look different.  Some of these will make it so much stronger.

Will you pray for the team?  Pray for safety and great work conditions.  Will you come work with us?  Yes, I will be working some.  If you live close by and have some time and are a man, you can come help.  Come on out.

The skylights are coming out, and there are lots and lots of those.  The roof is being strengthened.  The ceiling is getting some awesome insulation.  These pieces of insulation will make the place look way different and to help hold the temperature at the right spot.  There are some walls that will get insulation.  The front entry wall of the church is going to be built, and this is one of my favorite pieces that I cannot wait to see (a couple pieces of this need to come together just right).

So, why am I telling you more of the happenings for the coming week as Men On a Mission team will be working on our future campus?  I am telling you this because this is so awesome, but remember the church is really not about the building. 

The building is a tool to reach more people with the love of God.  We will be able to go further, serve more and seek to help people open their eyes to see Jesus.  I can see it.  You need to see it!

1 Corinthians 9:22  NASB
To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

Meet people where they are.  Meet their needs and win the right to talk about the love of God.

Acts 2:43-45  NASB
Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.  And all those who had believed were together and had all things in common; and they began selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have need.

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 disciplesā€™ feet, drying them with the towel he had around himā€¦ 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each otherā€™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....
