What Seems Impossible is Possible With God
Luke 18:27 “What is impossible with man is possible with God”. As I look back from April till the end of June, I may not have believed it even if God had told me (Habakkuk 1:5). Through the blessings of God, CMTS was able to donate to over 25 ministries. These ministries are other Christ-centered ministries. The donations included over 76 pallets of new supplies. This consisted of 50,000 lbs of food/cleaning/paper products and over 30,000 lbs of bottled water. For a grand total of around 80,000 lbs or 40 tons of supplies that were used to share the love of Jesus all around Pennsylvania and beyond. To name a few of the counties that were impacted; Lebanon, Lancaster, Berks, Schuylkill, Chester, Philadelphia, Lehigh, and Northampton County. Some of the items also went to Haiti to help schools and local communities. We have met many new contacts (provided by God) to help in the transportation of the goods to the other ministries and more. It has been such an amazing thing to see, God’s work is perfect, beyond our understanding!

Thank you to all the volunteers that have come out to help sort the donations this year. It has been such a blessing to serve God right beside you. These pictures are the day we were boxing up around 300 gift boxes for Operation Christmas Child for this Christmas season coming up.
Faith
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
As believers, we are all mandated to live by faith. Not a faith that just believes. Works alone are not faith, but faith will always produce works. James 2:14-26. Walking by faith is a process that inevitably leads us to trusting in God more and with less effort, over time. Over the last 3 months God has been confirming His power in our hearts. He has been providing for so many of our needs, even in ways we could never had dreamed of. Small things like toilet paper, apple juice and cereal. Big things like donated cars and minivans.

Here is another picture of a recent blessing God has provided. Through a ministry contact that Andy knows (if you look close you can see Andy in there). We received 10 pallets of cold food items that we were able to take what we needed here and through another ministry contact we were able to ship the other pallets right back out to get distributed to people in need around the Lebanon County area.
