Lord who is in charge of the har-
vest; ask him to send more work-
ers into his fields” (Matthew 9:37-
38, NLT). You my friend are making
a difference now and in eternity in
millions coming to Christ. It is both
motivating and humbling to part-
ner with CMA and realize that
behind this great ministry (CMA) is
an army of God’s people who have
a heart to reach His harvest field. It
is hard to believe that over 34
years ago it all started with one
motorcycle, one Pastor Tomas and
today the ripple effect is millions
coming to Christ and thousands of
pastors’ lives and communities
being impacted around the globe.
From all those whose lives have
been changed for eternity, thank
you; from the pastors and evan-
gelists you have encouraged, equipped and prayed for thank
you. From Jesus who looks at you
and says, “Well done good and
faithful servant,” thank you. You
are loved and appreciated and
prayed for by those who are
spreading the Gospel around the
globe. WE are Grateful for you

along the roadside. He feared he
would never get the images of
death and destruction out of his
head. Hundreds of thousands of
people have seen and experienced
so much. They need trauma coun-
seling to reconcile what they have
witnessed. As believers, we know
that the only reconciliation—the
only peace and grace—is found
through Jesus Christ. And you are
there, CMA. God is using you to
deliver His peace and grace. Watch the countries that are open-
ing up to the Gospel and know that
you’re making a visible difference
there as well.
“Thank you” will never be enough
to appropriately show our grati-
tude. Know that through your obe-
dience, you are spreading the
power of the Word and showing the
Good News of the Gospel to the
uttermost. And it is lighting up the
darkness. The Kingdom looks dif-
ferent because of you.

Replacing the Pictures of Horror
And along with Bibles, men,
women and children are now get-
ting trauma counseling—because of
you. There are millions of refugees
scattered across the world; many
are trying to return home, having
been separated from their birth-
place by war and violence. But
because of you, through Run for the
Son, thousands are receiving trau-
ma counseling to help them replace
the pictures of horror in their minds
with the hope of peace.

Stories like the one I shared earli-
er about the little girl in North
Korea who came to know Jesus—
these transformative, eternal sto-
ries are birthed out of your obedi-
ence and sacrifice. Because it mat-
ters to you, it now matters to her.
Because you gave, she knows. She
knows that God loves her, she
knows that He redeems, she knows
there is an eternal future of hope
and peace because of your sacri-
fice.
Because you participated in Run
for the Son, she can now walk with
the Son. That is the greatest deliv-
erance any of us could ever hope to
receive. Now she has the shield,
now she knows the glory, now she
knows her Creator who lifts her
head.
