Last year I had the opportunity to travel with our Churches outreach team to Mexico City. We lived in a garbage dump for 12 days. We went down with a team of 300 people and met up with Matt 25 ministries. Everyone gave out of their expertise, some medical, some gave hair cuts, toy give away on and on. I had the high honor of "shoes"...I fitted children with brand new shoes & socks..some for the first time. One little girl came over to me wearing plastic 2 liter bottles with string holding them on her feet. It was the highest HONOR of my life to take them off and place on her little feet a new pair of shoes..I will never forget that as long as I live.
I thought to myself if I would have never met the Lord I would never have met this little girl and she would not have recieved those shoes that day. See..we all did this because he told us too..thank you Jesus!
Is there anything better than serving the Lord?

I have a little problem with that because the saying goes
if you give a man a fish he will eat for a day but if you teach a man to fish he will eat for a life time.
those shoes only last couple month then what your going to do? give up more of your time and money for other
and yes there is other thing that is better then serviing the Lord at giving away shoes

I agree with the teeth guy. You ought to do nice things because they're nice, not because God told you too.

Too bad all those self-righteous conservatives don't read your question... Too busy grabbing it all for themselves, I guess...

I don't need to be a christian in order to do a good deed.
