FROM THE CEO

By JOHN Ogden Sr

IT has been an incredible Run for the Son ( RFS ) year . In spite of all that is going on , CMA ’ ers believed God would do more through them than He has ever done before . That faith was strong enough to see the highest RFS year in the history of CMA . $ 5,768,408.29 is a God-sized representation of what He wants to do around the world .

That represents a minimum of 2.3 million salvations and a minimum of 230 million exposed to the Gospel . You will equip over 600 pastors with transportation to further the Gospel in these last days . You will sneak over 110,000 Bibles and Christian training materials into closed countries , allowing the Word of God to penetrate the darkness . You will give over 11 million people the opportunity to hear the voice of Jesus in their own language . The number of lives that will be changed amidst a hopeless world is awe-inspiring . As I have traveled , what is so impressive to me is that you ’ re not sitting still after such a high point . I have witnessed chapters shooting even higher , stating , “ Because God came through this year , we should believe for more .”
As I was visiting the Colorado State Rally , people began asking what the new goal would be , excited to be a part of what God is doing through RFS . It ’ s hard to take in all that we accomplished this year , but I believe I have heard from God , and this next June National Rally will be a celebration like never before as we believe God for $ 6,275,050.39 , which means since the beginning of RFS , we will have raised $ 100 million for the Kingdom of God .
Think about that $ 100 million . Nobody would have given a plug nickel for some of us , but God is using us in changing the world , one heart at a time . Just as in the days of the Bible , Jesus picked an assorted group of people to change the world and promote His Kingdom , and He is doing it again through us : a family who is willing to look past
their hurts and concern , and see the need for the advancement of the Gospel .
In these last days , God has chosen us to unite under the cause of Heaven and advance the light into dark places , to sow hope where there is no hope , and to speak life where death had reigned that His Kingdom will prosper in the midst of decay . This year you have the chance to be a part of what He is doing through RFS , and many of you are already well on your way to breaking new ground as you follow the desires of God ’ s heart . CMA
