2 till B2S


1 John 5:1  NLT
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.

It is 2 till B2S.  You might be tired of this stuff by now, but this weekend is one we plan for a whole year.  We work tirelessly so that faith can be shared, transferred and inspired in the lives of others.  It is 2 days till the back2school big event.

Enormous strength is found when someone stops taking and starts giving.  We find hope and passion when we care less about getting and more about giving.  Does it empower you when the thought of helping the next generation or even the generation after keeps rolling through your mind and heart?  It does me.

This back2school effort is just that.  It might be the event that wins one to Christ that plants seeds for that persons grandchild or more.  A life changed and hope given will change more than one person.  It might even save a life.  It might create a future.

What are we willing to give or to do so that the next generation will have faith, hope and live with the love of God?  Our back2school event really is about influencing the next generation for God. 

Will you join us in impacting the future?  Pray for and plan to serve at back2school 2017!

Jeremiah 31:17  NLT
There is hope for your future,” says the Lord. “Your children will come again to their own land.

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....
