1 John 5:13-15 “I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life. And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.”
Prayer: it’s something we talk a lot about, but it’s something we forget to do when we most need to. The Bible mentions prayer over 300 times. We need to pray when we wake up, while we are walking to our car, while we are working, before a meal, when we get home, when we go to bed, and any opportunity we have in between all of those moments. There have been so many times in my life that I was struggling with something and when I would pray to God to help me, he would answer. Praise God! God continues to answer prayers for us at CMTS.
This past month at the ministry has been a hot and challenging time. The Lord has blessed us with around 45 fleet vehicles that will all be in use during the months of August-October. We are completely booked all the way to October. So many missionaries are getting to use these vehicles that God has provided for us to use. We just had a missionary tell us that during their travels in one of our minivans they were able to get a commitment for a new church to support their mission in another country. Praise God we had the van to use and praise God for the connection they were able to make with that church. Your vehicle donations make a difference in many other ministries and are helping bring people to Christ!
The warehouse has been filling request orders out all month again. Jenn Darnell has taken over the role of administration for the warehouse. She receives the request orders from other ministries that serve God and then gets the lists to her husband Justin Darnell (Warehouse Supervisor). The team of volunteers and staff get the requests prepared for pickup or shipment. One example is CMTS was able to supply some building supplies to a missions group that went down to Kentucky and built a deck for a ministry, among other projects. This allowed them to keep their costs down and use those funds for other ministry needs.
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.
