the children of back2school

 


Just seeing their faces might change your life.  Their smiles… laughs… concerns… bright eyes … and so much more make all that goes on during back2school pretty incredible.


As I was explaining to a group of people today about the process of interacting with students, specially during the foot washing process, really is life changing.  It might change the student and their families as well as the volunteer that is working with them.


One more part of back2school that makes it special is the students.  The can be as young as preschoolers who are just beginning their education career  It might be a student who is about to exit high school and head off to their bright and big futures.  And we get to encourage and speak in to their lives.


Students and their families are those that we are blessed to serve.  Would you please join me in praying for each and every student that will be part of this process? Pray for them to be able to hear.  Pray that we will meet their needs.  Pray for a connection to our volunteers who will be giving them real and lasting hope found in Jesus.


Matthew 18:4  NLT  

Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.


You’ve see it.  The faith of a child that interacts, that accepts, that approaches God will new eyes and an open heart.  I pray that many will claim hope in Jesus.


Students will be changed.  Volunteer will be changed.  Churches will be changed.  Families will be changed forever.  Let’s share this hope!


Luke 18:16  NLT  

Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children.


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
