Michael Harrison's e-devotion

  One of the things hat became a vital part of back2school was backpacks, and that continues to be an important.  Last night almost 200 hundred volunteers from many of the back2school outreach locations came together to pack over 2,000 backpacks. The students who receive those backpacks will be better prepared for a new school.  Inside each is a Bible that we pray is used to encourage and share Jesus.  Please pray that each of those Bibles does what God made it to do. The people who packs the backpacks prayed over them.  The people that donated the supplies are a great blessing to the outreach and to each one that is served.  The volunteers who packed them and who will hand them out are a great part of blessing. I love to see the process and all those who get served.  When we found these backpacks from a supplier in Florida, a man named Bob who is a great blessing, helps us get a sturdy and long lasting tool that students are given.   Please pray ...

It is time.  Tonight at 6 we pack backpacks.  back2school 2022 is happening.  Last Saturday a couple locations.  This Saturday a bunch of locations.  The Saturday after there will be another.  Pray, please.  Pray that the right people show up to serve and to be served.  Pray for the right shoes, enough supplies, the money to pay for it and so much more. It is go time for back2school! When we give value to another human being, we are doing what God called us to do.  This doesn’t sweep under the rug all the wrong that has been done, but this type of serving makes sure that every person knows that they have value.  Every one is made by God, gifted from God and has a God given destiny.  Every one has a future that holds many blessings. Then back2school kicks in.  These kids are incredible.  From the littlest to the biggest student… we want to see in their eyes, hear in their voices and watch as they smile as we meet and conver...

This year #back2school is needed more than ever, maybe for the biggest opportunity of giving hope.   How can you help that be a reality?  First,   pray for all involved (those served and those serving), volunteer at one of the locations, give to support the events, be part of the big event, AND finally, help celebrate by sharing and continuing to serve! Matthew 18:20  NLT For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them. Tonight, Tuesday, July 21st from 6 to 8 is the last time to register students to be part of this event.  Help us tell others about the opportunity! It is for the children and their families.  When they receive their backpack and shoes, we will be able to bless them and tell them about the hope that comes from Christ.  The partnerships of church groups and friends coming together is like an exclamation point at the end of a huge event. ...
