RFS Tip By KERRY Gibson 2020 has been an unprecedented year. Perhaps it’s because of the ease of information flow around the world, perhaps it’s just my ignorance of history, but I don’t know of any time other than a world war where something has impacted the entire world like the COVID-19 pandemic. The basic shutdown of the world’s economy has the potential of having a major impact on CMA’s Run for the Son. Of course we trust in God’s plan, and God’s economy. God’s plan includes us, and He expects us to do our part. Study Run for the Son and it becomes obvious that it is part of God’s plan to reach the world. To assist in your efforts, we put together the 2021 RFS Promo DVD and USB package (ad on page 14). In the package you will find the editable brochure, letters, including a Christmas letter, several letters written specifically for businesses, multiple video presentations, PowerPoints with scripts for personal presentations, tips for chapter participation, key stats, and much more. In the RFS Promo package you will find everything a member, or chapter, needs to participate in CMA’s Run for the Son. As a minimum, every chapter should have this in the Chapter resource library. Speaking of chapter resources, let me also remind you that every chapter is asked to have a RFS Lead and a RFS Secretary. This can be the same person, but it is two separate functions. The lead is a sort of encourager and promoter within the chapter, while the secretary keeps track of the chapter’s data, and files the requested reports. Should you have questions about any of this, or if you need assistance, please contact your State RFS Lead. Let’s show the world that evangelism is not dependent on the state of the economy. What could be a more powerful witness than hitting that elusive $5 million goal in spite of our enemy’s effort to stifle us? CMA Kerry Gibson serves as Vice President Ministry Development.
