CMA HeartBeat September 2018 | Page 11

RFS Ministry Partner Thank you for your partnership in the Gospel it is working mightily!!! Have you ever wondered how God is using these tools to spread the Gospel in remote areas of the world? We keep detailed records of the pastors and evangelists min- istry that has resulted from the provided transportation. We ask the recipients to send in a yearly report answering four questions. 1. How many salvations in the past twelve months? 2. How many churches have been planted? 3. How many people have you followed up with discipleship? 4. How has the motorcycle impacted your ministry? Let me share a few reports that just came in. Pa stor Lazarus in Zambia; I love his name and this precious gift presented by CMA has caused him to come forth! 299 people accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior in his first year of receiving the motorcycle. The pre- vious year he shared how he had to walk miles from village to village and saw 50-60 people give their lives to Christ. Due to the impact of the motorcycle there is a 300% difference in ministry. Truly this is an incredible increase and impact in souls coming to Christ. Pastor Nadeem Victor in Pakistan reported that for the last year 1,000 people gave their lives to Christ, 4 churches were planted, and he was able to preach the Gospel to more than 2,000 people in four major unreached people groups: Muslim, Hidu, Balhaeed, and the Sargood Hindu tribes. In his own words Pastor Nadeem said, “I’m thankful to the Lord for the blessing of Honda CD-70. The areas where my church is located as you can see are not in a one city there are four different cities. So, you can imagine how hard to was for me to travel and share the Gospel, revive them, make disciples. Now praise to be the Lord, through this great mission tool, I’m ready to expand more kingdom work, plant more church and reach more tribes and unreached people groups. To God be the Glory!!!” These are just two pastors given a bike this past year, but can you imagine the ripple effect of 13,946 pastors and evangelists spreading the Gospel around the Globe? Do you see how mightily God is work- ing through your gifts to Run for the Son? Thank you CMA for your part- nership in the Gospel. It is working because of what God has done in bringing us together to partner effectively in ministry. On behalf of the missionaries, pastors and evangelists, there is no greater privilege in partnering with CMA to spread His glorious Gospel. As the reports come in daily we will con- tinue to give God the glory and share with you how your invest- ment is changing the world, one heart at a time. At the end of the day only God will be able to count the souls, churches planted, and impact of your part in Run for the Son. Be reminded today, Jesus said, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the (continue on page 29) Run for the Son’s gifts over the last 35 years $15,163,931.67 has been invested into the Kingdom. CMA has placed over 6,921 motorcycles, 6935 Bicycles, 38 horses, 38 boats, one camel, three horse and buggies, 8 wheel- chairs and two snowmobiles to pastors and evangelists minister- ing in 107 Nations. This totals 13,946 pastors and evangelists who have been equipped with transportation to spread the Gospel around the globe. Historically most of these bikes have been given to pastors and evangelists planting new churches and going into new areas with the Gospel. Transportation is a strate- gic tool for world evangelism. Most indigenous pastors working in jun- gles, mountain villages, and distant towns are limited to walking. Statistics can be difficult to calcu- late but typically pastors who receive a bike will start an average of ten churches and see an aver- age of 180 salvations in the first year alone; all because of your investment into the Kingdom. I honestly don’t know of any greater investment into the Kingdom. Run for the Son helps pastors and evangelists expand their outreach, “To the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8b, NLT). This year we were able to equip 471 pastors and evangelists with 382 motorcycles, 81 bicycles, 4 boats, 2 horses and 2 wheelchairs in 41 Nations. To God be the Glory! T HROUGH
