help with back2school

Matthew 5:16 NASB

Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

What would happen if many churches came together with a common goal, put down our labels and personal agendas, and served the people right around us?

What would happen would be more unity in the church and the community, more passion to help people and more glory to our God. I’m for that. How about you?

That is just what back2school is to me and to the churches that have come together. This year is another huge win as several more churches have stepped up to serve, and God will get even more glory. Kids in places we’ve never been able to serve will be helped.

The event is about 3 weeks away. There is still one more date to register, Tuesday, July 20th from 6 to 8pm. Many more school supplies are needed. Will you help?

1 John 3:17 NLT

If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person?

That verse speaks to money, but it can also speak to our time. “If someone has enough time… and shows no compassion” also is a reality. I know people are busy, but more people are needed to make this outreach a reality. It is evident that churches and organizations all around us are asking for help, and many of those churches and organizations are finding that less volunteers are stepping up to help.

There is nothing like seeing the smiles on the kid’s faces. It is incredible to talk with a child about their future and help them see that they have incredible potential. That is just what happens during back2school. Will you help? Will you give? Will you serve?

Several times through the years I have seen that a new person has chosen to be on time, give a great gift of money or do something to help this incredible ministry. That makes me smile big time, and I am grateful.

There is room for about thousands more kids to be served, but they need to learn about the event and then register. You can help with these things.

Let me know if you would like to help with this year’s back2school outreach by sending me an email to pastormh@gmail.com. I am excited to share stories in the coming days.

3 John 1:4 NLT

I could have no greater joy than to hear that my children are following the truth.

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
