December 2021

Luke 2:10-11 “ And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”

On behalf of everyone at CMTS, Merry Christmas! We hope your holiday is filled with the love and light of Jesus Christ, and the hope of His birth.

Over the past month, God has answered many of our prayers. He continues to provide new staff and volunteers at CMTS. Please continue to pray for everyone involved at CMTS and those that will become involved in the future.

Joel Smith was named “Director of CMTS Pennsylvania”. Joel, his wife Danielle, and their six children have been serving at CMTS since June of 2019. Andy Merrick continues serving as the Executive Director, but his focus is on preparing CMTS Belize for the future.

Andy and Nancy are preparing to leave for Belize on December 31st and will stay there for all of 2022. They will be working on completing the bathhouse and a 2-story building to house the people coming to Belize for vocational training around solar, water, automotive, construction, and more. We will keep you updated on their journey through pictures and letters throughout the year.

Thank you for your prayers and support of the ministry.  Your donations are used to reach the less fortunate, through educational resources, job training materials, basic needs, and supporting the full-time staff members who use their God-given talents to serve Him.  Please visit our website at www.cmtsministries.com to view more and to see other updates and information.

In Christ,

Joel Smith, Director of CMTS Pennsylvania
