LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THANKFUL TO CMA IOWA
On August 14 , 2022 , I had a serious fall at a truck stop in Avoca , Iowa . I was transported by ambulance to Council Bluffs , Iowa . I had broken my left femur right at the hip . After x-rays , I was told they would have to put a rod in my leg from my knee to my hip . The next day , I had the surgery , and that afternoon , thanks to my brother , John Webster , Montana State Coordinator , I had five CMA members from the Council Bluffs area in my recovery room . I was transferred to the hospital in Missouri Valley , Iowa , for my rehab . I was there for five weeks , and two to three times a week , I had visits from Tony and Rod from CMA . I had great visits with them , and they made it much easier for me to be so far from home in Montana . I was finally able to travel home and continue my rehab , which is going well . I continue to text Tony , letting him know how I ‘ m doing . I am forever thankful for them spending their free time with me . I am so grateful for your group . Here are a couple of pictures of your members that improved my stay .
Jim Webster Montana SATAN TRIED TO STOP US
I know several people can relate to this story . Satan always finds a way to keep you from getting to where God can use you . Don ‘ t let satan get away with it . He has no power over us . Our trip to Colors this year started with resistance . We left Thursday morning to meet up with a fellow chapter member . Out of the gate , the TPS warning light came on in the car . The last time that happened to us , we had a flat tire . No tire gauge in the car , so we stopped and purchased one . I checked the tires , and all was well . We then exited on I-44 North to make our meeting . Traffic was thick . All of a sudden , traffic came to a stop . I had to slow down quickly . As I did , the pickup behind me squealed his brakes and slammed into the rear of the car . Great , I thought . We both pulled over to the side . We suffered no damage as he hit my trailer hitch . His truck sustained minor damage to the front end , but praise God ; no one was hurt . So after exchanging information , we went on our way . We made it to Colors without another mishap . God is our protector . Praise God for watching over us .

OFF-ROAD MINISTRY
To Whom It May Concern - I just wanted to give you a big thank you for the articles in the last two
HeartBeat issues that highlighted off-road ministry opportunities ( October 2022 issue , page 8 Testimonies from the Field and November 2022 issue , page 10 Testimonies from the Field ).
I have been involved in off-road ministry for the past couple of years and am glad to see it get some “ front page ” attention , as this is an area where there is a huge ministry opportunity . Thanks again , and have a blessed day .
