Exodus 18:13-16; 17 - 27 13
It came about the next day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people
stood about Moses from the morning until the evening.14
Now when Moses’ father-
in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this thing that you
are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit as judge and all the people stand
about you from morning until evening?”
In these verses, Jethro (the father-in-law of Moses) is on the scene visiting Moses and his
visit really ends up being a divine appointment…I mean, remember, there are no acci-
dents or coincidence with God and Jethro and Moses have this God-appointed encounter
and it’s to HELP Moses out.
And what you need to know is that Jethro is an outsider. Moses is the one who has been
leading the Israelites for quite a while now…Jethro isn’t even one of them!
There will be a LOVE OFFERING taken for Ian
Whitmore, our intern, through August 5th. Ian
will be returning to Central Christian College of
the Bible mid-August. His last Sunday with us is

HERE’S THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE: Some-
times, it takes someone from the outside looking in
to tell you how to do it! Every single one of us has a
blind spot! There is that area of our life that we
could be doing better in…but we are totally oblivious
to that fact because we can’t see it!
And so how does this apply to ME? Do you have a
Jethro in your life…a friend…who has permission to
speak truth into your life…who can tell you like it is
and you don’t get mad at them…you love them and
respect them more deeply for being honest with
you? We all need friends who will speak into us…
GET A JETHRO in your life ASAP!
And how does this apply to US? Listen, we have
some blind-spots here at BCC. There are some
things that we could do better but we don’t see it be-
cause we’ve walked past it a million times and it’s
just how it is! The church board has sought the help
of a “Jethro” if you will…someone who is on the out-
side who understands church and ministry and
reaching lost people. The church board has agreed
to work with a gentleman by the name of Chris Dav-
enport. Chris is going to come in…evaluate and look
around…and tell us some things that he believes we
need to do differently in order to grow and reach
more lost people. I for one couldn’t be more excited!
He will come in with fresh eyes, fresh perspective…
and give us some insight as to what we are doing
well and what we need to do to improve!
Sometimes, it takes someone from the outside look-
ing in to tell you how to do it!
Excited for the future!
Be watching Facebook, texts, and an-
nouncements for activities in August.
A great way to serve Christ and others
this summer is to help at
VBS July 30-Aug. 3.
See Ms. Rachael if you can be a
helper.
Weekly youth group meetings begin with kick-off to
the fall Sunday Night Youth Group on September
9th. Be watching for details-location TBA!

Campus Students for Christ @ WIU is our focused
mission this month. Here is a recent update:
“Dear Burnside CC, Campus Students for Christ is
dedicated to discipling college students at WIU and
SRC (Spoon River College) of Macomb. Each
school year brings about different stories that illus-
trate the fruit of the kingdom work happening here.
Most recently, we have been encouraged to share
about a young lady from China,
named Tong. Tong came to WIU
for a master’s degree which she
aimed to complete in one year.
Along the way to this goal, she
also encountered members of
CSC who invited her to join with
them for worship, retreats, ser-
vice projects, etc. Though Tong
was an Atheist and overwhelmed
with homework, she accepted some of these invita-
tions and found herself attending the CSC fall re-
treat. She then attended a few worship services,
and later joined a reading group to improve her
English by reading through, “Mere Christianity.” As
the year progressed, Tong became more and more
curious and reflective of what she was learning. At
the close of the school year, the family of CSC was
excited to hear Tong make her public confession of
faith and her excitement to return home to tell her
family and friends about Jesus. We also packed
her bags with several Chinese Bibles and New
Testaments to give as gifts when she returned
home. We praise God for allowing us to have such
a unique access to the globe from the cornfields of
west-central Illinois, and we know you all at BCC
celebrate with us.
In addition to this excitement we are also pleased
to introduce to you our newest
staff member, Alicia Dickerson.
Alicia joined our staff on July 1st
as our women’s minister. Alicia
had an impactful campus ministry
experience while attending East-
ern Illinois University through
their Christian Campus House,
and now she’s excited to join the
staff team at WIU. Please pray for
her and our whole staff as there is much to learn,
plan & prepare before classes begin the middle of
August.
Our future goals include: (1) Raising our general
fund income by $50,000 annually so CSC can add
a 4th full-time staff member in 2019, which is our
50th anniversary serving on the campuses of Ma-
comb, IL. (2) Finding that right person to serve
