This video shows humanitarian aid volunteers from Global Hope Network dedicating a completed schoolroom to the children of Gambella, Kenya by washing each child's feet and presenting them each a pair of shoes.

Pastor Gary,

We have a man that goes to our church that has taken a bucket, towels, and lotion to our homeless feedings. He washes their feet, dries them, and them gives them a short foot rub with lotion before giving them their new socks to put on.

True christianity in action. Thanks for sharing.

the last time I was in a service that involved feet washing it was at our Mens Retreat. All those men, some of whom dont shower for the weekend, all using the same bowls of water???

I decided to quietly excuse myself and go talk to the fish.

I was just reading that verse in the Bible the other day.
Where Jesus said, "if I then your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet."

Obedience.
He said, "If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.

On some missions trips to Le Ceiba, Honduras (base for Hands to the World) we wash the feet of the missionaries who live there, a symbol of our honor and respect for those who carry the gospel.
