MEN on a MISSION day 5


Ephesians 3:20  NLT
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

This has been an excellent week.  As it comes to a close I look back on all the work that the Men On A Mission team has accomplished, and the verse above takes shape and reminds me or who is really in charge.

Does it surprise you that God alters your plans?  Not me.  I often have a list, sometimes on paper but all the time in my head, that I want completed.  This week and this work is much the same.  They have done more than I thought possible, but they have also completed projects that were not on my mind.

When we first visited the former American Standard Building Systems property, it was evident that through it’s being vacant and open to theft that many bad days have left it in great need.  The Community Fellowship led by our vision from God and our project leaders Kasim and Cindy Adams we are seeing it come together.

Our hope is to be in the building in 18 to 24 months.  That is seemingly a long time away, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The work done this week takes us to the next step.  No, it takes us 20,000 steps forward.  Come and see for yourself.  Come and lend a hand to help get it done.  Pray for the completion of the future campus.  It is going to be wonderful!

God really is good!  Now, go and use your gifts to make others stronger and better!

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.

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....
