DeployBroJedTop Dear Saints of God, 

  

High Noon, August 20, 2012, Speaker's Circle, University of Missouri:

 

     Brother Jed (my faithful husband) will begin his 40th year of proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the college students of America.  I have been looking forward to this day for a long time, because it will also be the day that, after 28 years of child rearing, I enter the full-time ministry again!  Sister Pat, who preached full-time last year, will also join the battle.  And if one prevails against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecc.4:12

     For 39 weeks (through June 7th, 2013) we three will spend five hours a day, five days a week, face-to-face, eyeball to eyeball, confronting lost students with the Word of the Lord.  The battle is on...for the hearts and minds of our campus youth!  We will enter the fray fearing none but the Lord!  

     Our Message: Repent of your sins and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Our Goal:to justify the ways of our Holy God before rebellious men.  Our Mission: to snatch many from the eternal flames of Hell and restore them to a right relationship with their Maker. Our Motive: the love of God, which compels us.

     Your Part: Yes, you our friends and supporters are a vital part of this work.  Last school year you provided over $30,000 for our travel expenses.   Many of you also housed and fed us and most important prayed for us. 

     You might remember that last year this time we had a "Deploy Bro. Jed" Fundraiser to raise a $10,000 cash reserve to help us finish the year in the black.  We are happy to report that CMUSA has ended the year with no debts and a little left over.  Thank you! 

       This year we are again setting a goal to raise $10,000 by August 20 to start 2012-2013 with a cash reserve.   Our travel expenses will increase since I am going full-time.  Having the reserve gives us a small storehouse to make ends meet when the regular giving does not cover expenses. It also allows us to focus primarily on the ministry rather than fundraising during the school year.

     So again this year, we are looking for TEN "cheerful givers" who will donate $1000 each.    (II Cor. 9)  The money will be put in a special account and only used for travel expenses throughout the year.  We are asking you to prayerfully consider being one of the TEN who help Deploy Bro. Jed and Sis. Cindy on our 2012-2013 preaching mission with a sound financial strategy.   If you would like to sow into the CMUSA in this way, please mail your check for $1000 to our home office address on this letter payable to CMUSA or you may give online through PayPal by clicking the donate or PayPal button on this letter.  Please designate the gift: "Deploy Bro. Jed and Sis. Cindy."  CMUSA is a nonprofit organization and all gifts may be tax deductable. 

      Fundraising is the least favorite part of our ministry, but Jesus commanded to "ask and you shall receive."  We look to God Almighty as our ultimate source, not man, however we believe that the "ask and you shall receive" principle applies to man also.  We are letting you know what our needs are and at the same time trusting God with the final results. 

      If you cannot be one of the TEN, any size gift is much appreciated.  Please pray for us.

     "May fruit abound to your account," and "our God supply all your need according to His riches in glory." 

Philippines 4:16-19   

     For the Glory of Christ, 

 

                         Sister Cindy

     This is my tentative schedule for the Fall Semester 2012.  There are so many campuses and so little time.  Should anyone want to arrange a church or home meeting while I am in your area please contact me.  Also, let me know if you are interested in scheduling formal debates with atheists, Muslims, or Christians, who disagree with my message or methods.  One student leader recently contacted me that he wanted me to speak to the Young Republicans on limited government and free markets.  I am still open to changes.  I will be doing my tour of the Southwest and California in the Spring Semester 2013.  Sister Cindy and Sister Pat will be accompanying me full time this year.  Any Christians, who are interested in joining us on the road for a while, or who want to meet us on campuses in your area, are welcome.  Bro. Jed

Bryan Davis wrote the following on Bro. Jed's FB wall in April:     

     "On this Good Friday, I was thinking about when I first realized the truth of the gospel and how it was you, Brother Jed, who planted the seeds of truth more than thirty years ago. I didn't come to salvation until a few years after that, but it was your preaching at the University of Florida that started me on the path. I am thankful for you and your ministry."

 

Brother Jed,  I'm sure with the lapse of time and the sheer volume of people that cross your path on a daily basis that you wouldn't remember an Ohio University photojournalism student who first  encountered you on the College Green in the Spring of 1981.  I on the other hand have never forgotten you.  It's hard to put into words the profound impact the week you spent in Athens, Ohio every spring has had on my life. Your candor and honesty set me on a course of soul-searching for the truth that has not ceased. We're on the same team; John 14:6 is the measuring stick through which I gauge everyday life. I just wanted to thank you for being faithful to God's call on your life - the fields are indeed ripe for harvest. Keep plugging and run the race God has set before you. Hopefully, one day I will get to see you again -

Sincerely, 

Bob W.

He which soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every person as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. 

II Corinthians 9:6
