KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK is my honor to thank each of
It you for the sacrifices you make for the Kingdom of God . I have attended several rallies recently and watched our members go above and beyond . CMA members work registration , traffic , trash pick up , and much more . I have seen members give out water , tea , and rag tracts in Jesus ' name . They are always ready to pray for anyone and do bike blessings . It is an honor to watch God work through CMA members as they give hope to the hopeless and love the unloved who suddenly find themselves in a place or situation they don ' t want or need to be in .
I am proud to watch our members care for people without judging or condemning their choices . Instead , they show them the way to a new life . An eternal life with Jesus . What is the cost to a CMA member to work these rallies ? Let ' s count the cost . It takes their money , personal time , prayer life , and time away from their families . Sometimes , we may miss essential life events such as birthdays , anniversaries , graduations , and other important days . I am not trying to tell you that everything we do is a sacrifice .
God gives us gifts along the way . He allows us to be present when a person accepts Jesus as their Savior , and now we have another friend , but more importantly , we have another brother or sister . We must not stop there ; we now should show them how to live as a child of God . We can read the Word with them and watch as they are amazed at God ' s Letter to His people . This person will be driven to tell others , and that is God ' s plan . We are thankful that we are God ' s chosen people and His first choice to bring the lost to
Him . Always remember that we never go alone . The Holy Spirit is with us and paves the way for us .
Keep up the good work . It is worth it , and lost people are depending on it ! Remember , God is with you , and so are we .
I look forward to serving with you and hearing the stories of how God has used you to further His Kingdom . CMA
