“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.” Hebrews 10:24
Equip Updates
With the new month came new experiences for our Equip students. The vocations are a great opportunity for the students to learn new skills as well as gain some experience in different areas of hands-on work.
“I’ve been learning a lot of cool things, I learned how electrical current runs from the power lines all the way to your phone…Leam taught me how to re-wire basically everything practical in a building.” -Charle
A really unique aspect about the Equip program at CMTS is the spiritual component that influences our students. Not only do they get to learn lifebuilding skills to further their repertoire but they are also building meaningful connections with other believers and forming a deeper connection with God.
”On the spiritual level, we’ve been going to a class at church called ‘Thrive’ which I really enjoy. Right now we are learning about how to seek the Holy Spirit in our day to day lives.” -Charles

Warehouse Distribution Center
Great news for the Warehouse this month! The Belize convoy was sent with two truckloads! Not only does this positively impact the community in Belize but it also significantly opens up space in the warehouse. We are now able to work with a great amount of space to accept new shipments. We are still waiting to be able to send Pastor Situma’s shipment as well as some items waiting in the warehouse for the new property for One Luv.
We were able to make some room to help store some items for different ministries we partner with. Additionally, I was given the opportunity to help load a few box trucks headed for our CMTS Belize location. It was challenging, but overall we managed to fit everything that needed to go into the truck. –Aidan
We ask that you please pray for the continued donations of supplies and goods so we can keep distributing, for finances to help fund the Warehouse ministry, and for the world and our local communities to hear and accept the Gospel and be welcomed into God’s family. It is our heart to see the world know Him!
Automotive Shops
A family came all the way from Minnesota to get their heater in their car worked on and to visit a supporting church. They spent the day interacting with staff workers and volunteers which was refreshing.
Maintenance, Hospitality, & More
Winter prep is under way here at CMTS which means the maintenance team has been kept busy preparing the buildings for the chilly months ahead. There has also been great progress for the renovations. Ray is working on moving and reinstalling the phone and internet to the new offices while Mike and Leam have been busy renovating Leam’s apartment. This month Charles was able to tag along and help while also learning a lot about electrical work.
Help Us Help Them
As we expand to better serve & equip those who serve Christ, we are actively raising funds for three projects:
- The CMTS Texas base
- HVAC units for the new offices
- Support for an orphanage in Haiti with our partner ministry Divine Ministries
Each of these Kingdom-impact opportunities will directly impacts lives, whether it is the staff here at CMTS or the orphans needing school supplies in Haiti. Join us in building God’s Kingdom; every little bit helps! Learn more by contacting the office or by scanning the QR codes below!
Mission Opportunities
