help make back2school a success


 

The back2school project for 2026 is happening, and tonight is the last opportunity to register students.  Each of the locations holds registrations, and each location is getting ready for the best outreach and serving more students so that this school year will be awesome.


So how can you help?  Thanks for asking!


SHARE about the event.  The picture with this e-devotion has the details.  You can also send us an email with your questions to emailback2school@gmail.com.  Please tell others about the event.


PRAY for the event.  Pray for those who will be served.  Pray for those who are serving.  Prayer is vital to our success because this is an event God led us to start and is all for His glory.  


HELP out by volunteering.  You can help at the big event days as one of the locations.  You can help pack backpacks on Tuesday, August 4th.  There are several ways to serve and make a difference.


SPONSOR this incredible project.  It costs about $23 per student we serve, and our goal this year is to serve about 2,000 students in the 10 locations where back2school is hosted.  You can give money to be a sponsor, or you can provide needed supplies.  Let us know how you want to be a sponsor!


WHY back2school is so important is this… we get to share Jesus with others.  Not only do students receive supplies, shoes and more.  Each one will hear about the love of Jesus and how He changes our lives.


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.”


We want students and their families to come to meet Jesus.  It is our commitment to share the Gospel and to lift up Jesus.  You can help make this happen!


John 12:32  NLT  

And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.”

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....
