RFS TIP

By BRENNAN Hayden
Jane and I have known Brennan since he was born. He is an amazing young man who is not afraid to share his faith. He has had a huge impact on many members in Indiana through his passion for Run for the Son( RFS). When I was asked to find a field testimony about RFS, I knew immediately who to reach out to. Brennan has an amazing story to share. I hope you enjoy how he is raising money for the Kingdom.

MY

name is Brennan
Hayden. I am 16 years old from Columbia City, Indiana, and I support CMA through my personal ministry ofβ€œ Jesus Saves Souls, Brennan Saves Goals.” When I was six years old, the Lord gave me an idea to help missions by raising money for RFS. At the
time, I was interested in drawing, so for several years I drew custom motorcycles, campers, airplanes, cars, animals, and anything else requested. Many of you may still have some of those original drawings. But then, over the following years, God showed me a way to combine my passion for hockey with saving souls, and so I startedβ€œ Jesus Saves Souls, Brennan Saves Goals,” in which people sponsor me at 5-50 cents per save I make as a hockey goalie.
This past season, I made 686 saves, which will total between $ 2,000 and $ 2,500 to help CMA reach people and bring them to Christ! I have now raised money for RFS for 10 years, and the Lord has continued to bless me with generous sponsors who support year after year. Together, we have raised roughly $ 24,000 over those 10 years! It really is a very simple thing with a huge impact. I encourage everyone to find ways to serve the Lord through their
everyday activities. It can be through a fundraiser or simply using whatever platform God has given you in your life to proclaim His salvation! Living for God and serving Him gives you a purpose and passion for life; nothing else can! I’ m so glad I listened to His call a decade ago, and I ' m humbled to be part of growing the Kingdom! I can’ t wait to see how the Lord will continue to give me opportunities and platforms to share the Gospel from, and I am forever grateful to my loyal family and sponsors who make it possible!
