February HeartBeat

“ In the same way , let your good deeds shine out for all to see , so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father ” ( Matthew 5:16 , NLT ). A story is evidence of how we live , so when our stories point to Jesus , we show others how to walk alongside Him and how He is the reason for every good thing in our lives . This month ’ s Testimonies from the Field comes from a few different ladies from the Southeast region . I know all these ladies well and have been blessed to serve alongside them . Their stories point to Jesus and how to follow and walk alongside Him in this ministry .
Shawna Hall and her husband , Brad , serve as National Evangelist in the Southeast Region .
“ This year serving at LLMX looked a little different . I was asked to cook for the Youth Movement mission trip . Ben and Rachel Larson ( National Evangelist - Youth Movement ) wanted to model a family atmosphere for the students in the Airbnb . Waiting until everyone was seated at the table , saying the blessing , passing the food , and having discussions seemed awkward for the students at first . As four generations sat and shared meals together , great bonds were created and helped us grow closer together . This experience better equipped us to serve well together , sharing the Gospel and being the hands and feet of Jesus as a family of God . It was an honor to be both a role model and servant for CMA Youth at LLMX this year .”

“ My
name is Grace McDaniel . I ’ m a member of Mountain Movers , Ellijay , Georgia . I absolutely love CMA . I grew up in it . Beginning with CMA Kids from ages 8-11 and then Youth Movement from ages 12-17 . CMA is where I feel comfortable to be myself . CMA is my family . In the Youth Movement , Dave Wilson ( aka Rev ), spoke to me about becoming a LIT , but I was unsure . At Flame On in 2023 , God spoke to me and told me to become a LIT . When I turned 18 in March , I applied for LIT . I have set up a CMA children ’ s ministry tent at the Apple Festival for the past five years . I love Jesus and kids . I am excited to continue working with children as a LIT in CMA and telling them how much God loves them !”
