the people of back2school

 


The greatest part of the inner workings of the #back2school project is the people.  It is not the resources that are given away.  It is not the number of students we serve.  It is not the incredible number of churches involved.  It is not the number of sites and locations where the outact takes place.  It is the people. 


If you are going to serve in this outreach, please take a few minutes and notice the faces and the smiles of each and every student that comes our direction.  They are special and a gift.


If you are going to serve in this outreach, look around at the people who are serving with you.  Men and women, boys and girls who are excited to share and give and make a difference.  Each volunteer is awesome.


It doesn’t stop there, but I will stop for now.  Well, with one last thought.  That thought is this…


Without each and every person this outreach is useless and empty.  Yet there are people, the greatest gift and greatest part of back2school.  Pray for each and get ready for some exciting time and the opportunities ahead.


Isaiah 49:18  NLT  

Look around you and see, for all your children will come back to you. As surely as I live,” says the Lord, “they will be like jewels or bridal ornaments for you to display.


Proverbs 21:26  NLT  

Some people are always greedy for more, but the godly love to give!


Continue to pray for back2school and choose to be part of this opportunity.  Plan  Email your questions or thoughts (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 ...

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....
