Warehouse Distribution Center
What a blessing the Warehouse has been this summer! So many ministries have been blessed with free supplies for their outreach events, fundraisers, mission trips, and more.
CEF of Schuylkill County was able to get toys and other goodies for their Good News Day Camp, and they blessed us by having us as a camp missionary. It was so exciting to share with the kids who we are, what we do, and why we do it. Seeds were planted about missions and the importance of sharing the gospel. They also raised over $1,000 for the Houser’s well digging project!
Another shipment was packed and sent to Belize. This time, a car was included in the shipping trailer. After sending it off in June, it finally arrive mid-August. Pray that the contents are a blessing to all who visit Belize!
A special thank you to Aidan & Kai in the Warehouse. For the past few months, they have spent hours stripping wire for copper. What might seem like a menial task has actually been a wonderful source of income for the ministry. Thankfully, the ministry was blessed with a wire stripping machine, which has encouraged and spurred them on greatly!
Automotive Shops
The Auto Shops have been busy! Doug has been happy to do body work on more than just our ministry vehicles. Nick, in addition to repairing staff and other ministries’ vehicles, has been looking forward to when Chad Houser, joins him in the garage.
Once the Housers are on campus, the Auto Shops can begin training two staff members. Ideally, this will increase the amount of vehicles being repaired, and bless more ministries, missionaries, churches, and others. Keep spreading the word about the Auto Shops!
In August alone, we were donated 6 vehicles! The plan is to fix them up and sell them at a fair price to people in need, or use them for spare parts. If you know someone looking to donate a car, have them call or email today.
Maintenance, Hospitality, & More
The Houser’s home build is in process, and we are raising funds to dig their well. We would love to see you partner with us by donating to “dig a foot” or more. One foot is $50, and we need to raise $5,000.
The offices have finally moved to above the Auto Shop. If you plan to visit us soon, make sure you stop by and see the awesome work from our amazing staff and volunteers.
We recently welcomed Ace Smith and Sam Mechler onto full-time staff. Sam is our Creative Media and Communication Assistant, and helps in the Warehouse. Ace will be training with Chad to be a mechanic, while helping Mike with campus maintance. Both are raising funds; if you want to support them, please contact us to learn more!
CMTS Texas
We are excited to announce that we have a director for our South Texas base! After months of prayer and watching closely for God’s guidance, Kiel & Melissa Klingman believe that this is what God has for them.
They are very excited about this new opportunity. The Klingmans will begin to work alongside us to raise funds for the base, as well as search for staff and build up the campus grounds in Texas.
Thank you to all who have donated so far towards the purchase of the Texas campus! With $1,400 of $190k raised, we have far to go. Every little bit helps, and we appreciate all that has been given so far.
Staff Feature
Joel & Danielle Smith
Joel & Danielle left a successful food truck business to join CMTS in 2019. When God told them to move, they listened, and they haven’t stopped obeying since! After years of prayer, the Merrick’s passed the torch of leadership to them in 2021.
Joel & Danielle have 7 children, one son-in-law, and a French bulldog named Jake. Their family is full of energy and love for people and for Christ. They are actively raising support and are always in need of prayer as our directors at CMTS.
