opportunity at the speedway

 


We are back at the speedway serving along side some of the greatest team members in all the world.  Raceway Ministries in Martinsville offers refreshments, worship services, ADA guest assistance and lots of conversations about Jesus.  It is an honor to serve at our local speedway.


Romans 1:10  NLT  

One of the things I always pray for is the opportunity, God willing, to come at last to see you.

 

We all have opportunities.  Do we take them?  There are opportunities around us.  Do we see them?  And even more, do we care about the opportunities given to us?

 

Paul prayed for opportunities as the verse above says.  His eyes were open, and he was asking for a chance to use his story to help others.  We have the same kind of opportunities.

 

This week is just one more of those for the team I get to serve with.  It is time for the work of Raceway Ministries at Martinsville Speedway.  When the world comes to our town, I believe Jesus would have us in the middle of the crowd taking an opportunity to share Him with race fans.

 

Please pray for this ministry and the opportunities in front of us.  Pray for each member of our team and all the fans we will serve.


Colossians 4:5  NLT  

Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity.

 

Here are opportunities to talk about Jesus.  When people see our love and faith, ears and hearts will open.  Then conversations will happen.  Some questions will be asked.  Then lives will be changed by God.  Look for opportunities. 

 

Luke 21:13  NLT  

But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me.

 

Don’t miss the opportunity.  Live it out.  Have the conversation.  Look around you.  See what God is doing and go where He is leading.  These are the special and blessed opportunities God is giving you and me!

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....
