Backsack Sighting

Just got a call from my son who spent the night with a friend. They were on their way to school down Truman Road in Independence when they spotted................3 RED BACKSACKS! They were 3 of 200+ Englewood Back to School Outreach backsacks given away Aug. 5.

The kids were being walked to school by their Mom. What a blessed phone call! Joe was so excited and so was I. I didn't really even have time to think, but the words just came out of me "See Joe, God blessed that family through us. What our church did that day made a difference!"

Acts 20:35 says, "...by working diligently in this manner, we ought to assist the weak, being mindful of the word of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive." Has anybody else out there seen an Englewood backsacks?
