path for those in the path of the hurricane

Pray today for all those impacted by Hurricane Melissa. As you know this storm is hitting islands where many already live in poverty with the lack of resources. The storm will make life even more difficult.

Pray for the needs of the people. Pray for those seeking to serve those in need. Pray for the Gospel to be shared all around this situation. There will be loss of lives in many places. Pray for every family impacted.

Romans 1:9 NLT

God knows how often I pray for you. Day and night I bring you and your needs in prayer to God, whom I serve with all my heart by spreading the Good News about his Son.

Many people where the storm is hutting are praying for the storm to lessen and for help. Our friends in the eastern part of Cuba will see the impact from this storm. But we know others in Jamaica and Haiti where the storm looks to be passing through.

Psalm 86:1 NLT

Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer; answer me, for I need your help.

Please looks for ways to help if you are able. Give to organizations such as Send Relief, Samaritans Purse or others. Go on mission trips to help after the storm. But most importantly keep on praying!

Romans 12:13 NLT

When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.

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....
