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!

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
