RFS TIPS

By GEOFF Norton

CELEBRATING a successful Run for the Son season may not simply be a chapter occasion, but also neighboring chapters should get together and express their thanks to their community.

My guess is you didn’ t expect that statement above to end with thanking the community. How can the chapter serve at a local festival, art show, car, boat, or motorcycle show, and why should they? Giving back to the community is not only a gesture of goodwill, but a Christian perspective of God’ s will for the direction your chapter should be engaged in.
Having conversations with local contacts about what you recently accomplished during Run for the Son season and what it is all about may be very valuable during the new Run for the Son season. In addition, you now have new contacts for opportunities and may be able to plan one of those events while serving at another. I encourage you to serve in your local community, build relationships, and share your Run for the Son successes and challenges. These relationships will prove beneficial as you move along in the 2025 Run for the Son season. CMA

About this time, the emotionally overloaded mother stopped the doctor and asked,β€œ So, are you saying my boy is going to live?” to which the surgeon responded,β€œ Yes, he is out of the danger zone and should make a full recovery.”
The surgeon also explained that heβ€œ happened” to be in Arizona from Wyoming. This was yet another answered prayer that God would provide the best medical staff working on Kyle.
I stood there in awe of how God’ s hand moved in that room. The Holy Spirit was overflowing that room, and I got to be a small part of this simply because we had blessed Bryce’ s bike at a bike night!
Think about that. What we do matters. We may be the only connection someone knows to reach out to. I’ m still not one hundred percent sure how Bryce knew my cellphone number, but God does!
