“I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?” -Jeremiah 32:27
Equip Update
On September 19th, the four students rotated to their next vocation. Emi & Grace are now in the Warehouse with Justin, David is in the Mechanic Shop with Nick, Ray, and Sam, and Kai is in the Auto Body Shop with his father, Doug. Please pray for them as they take on this next step in the program.
Have you read the Equip Student Updates yet? Their personal newsletters are a great way to get to know them, learn more about the Equip program, and see how God is working. If you’re interested in giving towards their tuition, you can mail a check in their name or donate to them individually using the button below:
Around the Ministry in Bernville, PA
On September 19th, our commercial insurance policy changed; while we are still working through the bugs, praise God that missionaries have been able to obtain auto policies relatively easily. Please continue to pray for the Loaner Vehicle Program as we adjust to these changes. In preparation for a new policy, we have been downsizing our fleet, selling vehicles to pastors and people in local ministries. We also supplied churches and local ministries with various items from the warehouse. Simple things like bleach, laundry detergent, and more have made an impact in His Kingdom. We are continually amazed by God’s blessings.
As Jeremiah said, is anything too hard for God? Thanks to the generosity of His people, the septic system replacement is almost fully funded. As we continue updating things around the ministry, God has continued to provide. We believe He will do so again for an upcoming project in November: the renovation of our to-be-training center (the building by the road in need of repair).
Our vision for the training center is to help disciple and train the future generation that will go out to disciple and train the next. This building will be used for Bible classes and other classes in the Equip program, hold new offices, and contain a community and wellness center where staff and volunteers can gather and fellowship together. We need your help to bring this vision to reality. We are also in the process of replacing the roof of the main house/office and are in need of funds for the labor.
If you are interested in becoming involved, please contact the CMTS Front Office, or consider donating to fund this long-awaited project.
Belize
Here is a short excerpt from the Merrick’s in Belize: “Andy has felt convicted to start up a Tuesday morning men’s prayer breakfast. As he has shared his vision, several other men from church have come alongside expressing a desire for such a ministry… When men pray together, God does powerful things in their lives, but we also know that Satan will not be happy about this. So please pray for this group to grow and for men to seek God.”

Joel Smith, Director CMTS Ministries of Pennsylvania
