join back2school

One of my favorite parts of ministry is back2school. Well our 2021 planning for this exciting project is off and running. Last evening a great group of leaders gathered in a virtual meeting to begin the year.

The stories were incredible. There were ideas shared as well as many smiles, laughs and joy shared from people at many different locations planning for what might be the grandest year ever for this ministry. Stronger, better, more offered… even with the challenges of a pandemic.

Matthew 19:14 NLT

But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”

It is our desire to impact the lives of students and their families. When we serve and meet needs, our prayer is that we win the right to tell them about the greatest person who ever lived, the one who loves us most.

Telling people about Jesus and showing them what Jesus is like is one of the greatest thing we can do. Actually it is what we are called to do.

back2school is just one way we can do this, and it is our desire to invite others to be part of this exciting outreach. We are looking for more locations, more people to serve, more sponsors to help with resources and more. Do you want to be a part?

Go to our website www.gob2s.com or send us an email emailback2school@gmail.com to learn more.

1 John 3:18 NLT

Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.

Join me. Join us. This should be the greatest year. The need is great. The opportunities are 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....
