FROM THE CEO

FROM THE CEO

By JOHN Ogden Sr

I have been spending time reflecting on the goodness of God and looking to the future . I know that God holds all things in His hands . This is a time to rejoice in where He has brought us . This is a time to realize that family and friends are more important than things . We , as a family and ministry , have much to be thankful for . We have seen over 2 million people come to know Jesus as their Savior this year . Through the highways and byways , you have touched and pointed people to Jesus . The ministry has never been stronger because you are following the Holy Spirit .

Romans 8:14 ( NKJV ) says , β€œ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God , these are sons of God .”
As we follow Jesus , everything works for our good and His purpose . The ministry is not ours but His . We are not our own ; we belong to Him . All we are , or ever hope to be , rests in His hands . We can trust and follow Him .
During this Christmas season and into the New Year , make your family a priority and invest in them with your time . They are a gift from God . Ministry should always start with our families and then to the world . May our lives and our family be blessed and changed by the grace and the power of God .
Becky and I love and appreciate you and your family very much . Keep Jesus and your family close and personal . We look forward to seeing you in 2025 . CMA
