backpack, backpack

 


One of the things hat became a vital part of back2school was backpacks, and that continues to be an important.  Last night almost 200 hundred volunteers from many of the back2school outreach locations came together to pack over 2,000 backpacks.


The students who receive those backpacks will be better prepared for a new school.  Inside each is a Bible that we pray is used to encourage and share Jesus.  Please pray that each of those Bibles does what God made it to do.


The people who packs the backpacks prayed over them.  The people that donated the supplies are a great blessing to the outreach and to each one that is served.  The volunteers who packed them and who will hand them out are a great part of blessing.


I love to see the process and all those who get served.  When we found these backpacks from a supplier in Florida, a man named Bob who is a great blessing, helps us get a sturdy and long lasting tool that students are given.  


Please pray that God will use each backpack, every resource and all the volunteers at each location to share Jesus with students and their families.  Ask God to put together the right conversations and connections that will make a difference for eternity.


Saturday is the big day for 9 of the 10 back2school locations.  God is going to do amazing things.


Psalm 105:4  MSG  

Keep your eyes open for God, watch for his works; be alert for signs of his presence.


Matthew 9:38  NIV 

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”


Please help us make back2school a reality.  Pray for back2school and serve with us.  Email your questions or comments (emailback2school@gmail.com) and go to www.gob2s.com for more details.

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

why is it Good Friday?

  Holy Week is the time we focus on God and His gift of salvation.  We come to Friday.  The day we remember the cross, Jesus’ death and all God has done for you and me   Why do they call this day “Good Friday” because it doesn’t seems good?   Jesus was treated as a criminal.  He was beaten so much that He could not recognize Him.  His pain would have been too much for you or me to endure.  That is especially from Scripture I’ve read or as in the movie the  Passion of the Christ .   Yet it is a good day.  It is Good Friday because God had our good in His heart.  What Jesus did that day changed our forever direction. Here are some thoughts that come to me:   He is Redemption and Redeemer   He too our Pain and Punishment   He is our Righteousness and Reality   He is the Savior and Life   All of those happened from the cross.  It was meant for the worst lawbreakers.  It was not meant for a Savior who never broke a law.  It was lifted high so that onlookers could see the price Jesus.   Look

Day 8 in Cuba

We have just come off and incredible weekend, and it is day 8 of the mission trip in Cuba.  Thank you to all who have been praying for this trip, the mission team and the impact it will have on those we serve.   Please don’t stop praying. Last week Alex and I served with a mission team in the mountains of southern Cuba.  There were several challenges, but God gave us safety, provision and opportunity to serve some of the sweetest people I have ever met.  No running water… sporadic electricity generated by a small, logo dammed up river, no transportation other than animals, limited food sources and more.  These people love the Lord and sharing their faith with others. Over the weekend we made our way back to Havana.  On Friday our vehicle broke down leaving us on the side of the road for several hours.  We then boarded a bus and rode 14 hours.  We arrived safely and even got some rest. Sunday was so, so good.  We visited two partner churches.  In the morning we were with one church that
