Greetings!
2017 will be the 30th year that the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) has sponsored the Run for the Son ride to raise money for evangelism. Of the money raised, 60% is given to our three world-reaching ministry partners for work in foreign missions, and 40% is used for home missions through CMA.
Through our involvement with Missionary Ventures, CMA has placed 5,769 motorcycles, 6,593 bicycles, 28 boats, 31 horses, 1 camel, 2 snowmobiles and 3 horse and buggies in the care of native pastors in 105 countries.
Through Open Doors, we have provided for the purchase and distribution of 2,616,852 Bibles in restricted access countries around the world.
Although the JESUS film has been shown to over 6 billion people, our contributions, through Run for the Son, are directly responsible for the JESUS film being shown to over 119 million people in more than 200 countries. The JESUS film has been translated into 1,420 languages, and over 12 million have accepted Christ. This ministry reports that traditionally at least 10 people see the film for every dollar contributed and, of those ten, at least one person accepts Christ.
This Sunday, April 30th, 2017 we will again be participating at Wrightsboro UMC to generate support for these missions. Will you help us? Any amount you can invest will make a difference as we change our world for Jesus - which is our only goal.
I have witnessed the integrity with which this project has been handled, and I guarantee you that none of this money goes to the day-to-day operating funds for CMA, or the ministry partners. All of the money raised is used to spread the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. I encourage you to check out CMA,
www.cmausa.org
, Run for the Son, and what we do with the money. Will you please consider a donation? No matter how small or how large, it will make a difference.
Please make checks payable to the Christian Motorcyclists Association (or CMA), and note "Run for the Son" on the memo line. Any donation is tax deductible.
Also if you ride we invite you to ride your motorcycle to church this Sunday and following worship will go to Uncle Louis for lunch
Thanks and God Bless you,
Jerry Lipka
