Reaching New Levels
Twenty years! It’s hard to believe 20 years have passed since the CFO ministry began. God has blessed in so many ways, and I am continually amazed at the miracles He gives.
CFO has experienced an awesome year in reaching people for Jesus. We took on eleven new events this year. West Virginia State Fair and the Buckwheat Festival had a five-year waiting list to get in but the Lord had different plans. We got in the first year allowing us to pray with 1,600 people to invite to Jesus into their lives.
This is so important because I have witnessed terrible moral decay in our young people. When we met with the head of all the Billy Graham Crusades he said it is far worse than I can imagine. With all the natural disasters in the world we know the time is short. Only the Lord knows how long we have but when He returns there will be 1,600 more in heaven because of these two events.
At the West Virginia State Fair two young ladies came into the booth. One wanted to know Jesus so badly she wept. The other turned her head in rejection. It saddened me to think if the Lord would happen to return that night, one would be caught up with Jesus and the other one left behind.
We have had many opportunities to help churches starting their outreach programs. Also, we have helped train and equip numerous short-term mission trips. And, our deer meat program is still active which is so beneficial to the local missions.
This is why the Lord has placed CFO in the traffic lanes of life where seven out of ten people never enter a church. This places a tremendous responsibility on this ministry. We don’t know all the Lord has for CFO but we know it will be awesome (Jeremiah 33:3)
CFO is blessed to have so many wonderful volunteers. It takes hundreds to run the booths, string the beads, attend Work Day, and help put on all of our events. Many continually pray for us and many give sacrificially and we are so appreciative. Only through your help is the CFO ministry possible.
We are looking forward with tremendous excitement to what the Lord has for us in 2007.
It is my desire that as you read through this web site you will be open to the leading of the Holy Spirit as to how you may wish to be involved in this ministry. There are several ways, pray for us, become involved in stringing the beads or sharing the salvation message, and partner with us financially to help change the world for Jesus Christ!.
May God richly bless you as you serve Him.
