The time has come.
The time is now. We’ve waited and
prepare for a long time. It is almost
time for back2school 2017. In fact today
our church will serve about 60 students and their families. Some of these students have special needs
which will allow us to spend extra time with them. My prayer is that each student will see a
living picture of God’s love as our team shares with him or her.
Matthew 5:16
NLT
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to
see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
We shine as we share and serve. So shine for Jesus.
Philemon 1:7
NLT
Your love has given me much joy and comfort, my
brother, for your kindness has often refreshed the hearts of God’s people.
May the kindness we
show be a real demonstration of how God has been kind to us. Serving often lets the compassion of God find
a home in someone’s life.
Back2school is just
one vessel that God has used to touch lives.
This weekend in 9 locations over 2,100 students will be served. Shoes and socks, backpacks and school
supplies and more become tools for the Savior to open up people to come to know
Him.
Remember what I shared
yesterday? Our serving may not only
impact the student we serve this weekend, but it might impact the next
generation or even the next. Remember
that our hope can be transferred to others through our confidence and
sharing. Serving might even change us
before anything else happens.
Will you pray for
back2school? Will you serve?
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.
