The sacrifices of support , the hours worked at an RFS function , or donating items in support of Run for the Son is doing exceedingly more than you could ever imagine . It ’ s amazing to see the work that one motorcycle or bicycle , one Jesus Film backpack can do in the hands of one called to work the field . So , as you β€œ give ” which allows a minster to β€œ go ”… may your rewards be great in Heaven for the effect you are having on the Kingdom of God .
I experienced the unique opportunity to step into the scripture of Romans 10 as if it were a movie scene .
β€œ How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed ? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard ? and how shall they hear without a preacher ?
And how shall they preach , except they be sent ? as it is written , how beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things ” ( Romans 10:14-15 , KJV ).
As we walked in the bush , villagers would join us . One wore shoes made from recycled tires . As I watched him walk , I saw a life that relied on God to endure . I saw a life of perseverance and a choice to keep walking without giving up .
β€œ And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season , we shall reap if we faint not ” ( Galatians 6:9 , KJV ).
CMA family , don ’ t grow
weary of well-doing . RFS missions are truly in action around the world . Thank you to all who are so faithful to give and support the missions . You may never know the people you affect here on earth , but I promise you that one day in Heaven , you will .
β€œ Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness , which the Lord , the righteous judge , shall give me at that day : and not to me only , but unto all them also that love his appearing ” ( 2 Timothy 4:8 , KJV ).
This experience will not soon be forgotten but will be a driving force to do more . CMA
