FROM THE CEO

By JOHN Ogden Sr

IN

September , I asked you to mark your calendars for the Changing of the Colors Rally , October 20-24 , on Iron Mountain in Hatfield , Arkansas . Much has happened in our world during the past month . Worry and fear seem to be gripping the hearts of many . May I remind you that Jesus is still Jesus , and He will lead and guide you . Philippians 4:6-8 ( NKJV ) states , " Be anxious for nothing , but in everything by prayer and supplication , with thanksgiving , let your requests be made known to God ; and the peace of God , which surpasses all understanding , will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus .
Finally , brethren , whatever things are true , whatever things are noble , whatever things are just , whatever things are pure , whatever things are lovely , whatever things are of good report , if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things ."
These scriptures remind us how to pray and meditate . They have been life-changing for me and have taught me to walk through the fire with the peace of God . Our Changing of the Colors Rally is a great time to hear from the Holy Spirit , be set free from worry and fear , and refocus your heart on following the hope found in Christ .
I encourage you more than ever to come to the rally , receive
encouragement , seek God , and set your heart to hearing from the Lord . He will meet you here . Becky and I look forward to seeing you later this month as we maintain our focus on changing the world , one heart at a time . CMA
