Recently our team in Swaziland received a shipment of shoes to be delivered to the specific care points that we work with. They decided to make this an opportunity to show these poor and abandoned children the humility of Christ through washing their feet, praying with them, and providing them with a brand new pair of shoes.

When Jesus washed the disciples feet it was a sign of humility. In the Jewish culture, touching another persons feet considered a disgusting act. Feet were "unclean" and Jews were forbidden to touch them. So when Christ knelt down and began washing the filthy feet of his disciples I know their response was confusion. But that seems to be the typical response to Christ actions. Who would expect the God who created the universe to shame himself by washing feet or dying on the cross for that matter.
