Where is our love for souls? Where is our passion to see men and women reconciled to our Creator through faith in Jesus Christ? 

 
   In 2 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul explained that it was the love of GOD that motivated, indeed compelled him to become an ambassador for Jesus taking the message of reconciliation to people dead in their sins. Some in Corinth had accused Paul of being "beside himself" or "out of his mind." The Apostle's explanation for his radical zeal was that he was convinced, "that if one died for all...those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and was raised again." 

   We are likewise convinced of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus for all people and therefore the love of GOD motivates and compels us to action! On August 18, Bro. Jed, Sis. Pat and I plan to take the "word of reconciliation" to Illinois State University and launch Campus Mission 2014-2015. For 39 weeks (through June 5th 2015) we will spend five hours a day, five days a week, face-to-face, eyeball to eyeball, imploring students on Christ's behalf to be reconciled to their benevolent Maker. Some will allege that we are "out of our minds" but we will proclaim that God made his Son Jesus, "who knew no sin, to be a sin offering" for each of them that they "might become the righteousness of God" 2 Cor. 5:21. 

 
   Friend, would you like to team with us in this ministry of reconciliation? You might remember that for the last few summers we have had a Fundraiser to build a $10,000 cash reserve to help us end the year in the black. Thanks to your generosity, CMUSA currently has no debts! This year we are endeavoring to raise $10,000 by September 1 to start 2014-2015 with a travel fund. 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 of the word rather than fundraising during the rigorous school year.

   So this year, we are looking for "Ten Love-Compelled Christians" who will donate $1000 each. (II Cor. 9:6) The funds will be put in a special account and only used for travel/ministry expenses throughout the year. We are asking you to prayerfully consider being one of the "TEN LOVE-COMPELLED" who jump-start our 2014-2015 campus preaching mission with a sound financial strategy. If you would like to sow into CMUSA in this way, please mail your check for $1000 to our home office on this letter payable to CMUSA or you may give online through PayPal by clicking here:  Love Compelled!  We guarantee a high return on your investment. 

   Fundraising is a necessary part of our ministry; Jesus commanded, "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 are Love-Compelled, but you cannot be one of the TEN, any size gift is much appreciated. In years past sometimes a church or Sunday school class would go together on a gift. You saints on the home front are vital to CMUSA and the Kingdom!

   When students ask us where we get our money this is our reply: "Christians who are motived by the love of God and that really care about your lost souls give of their hard earned resources to help us reach you with the Gospel."

   Dear saints of God, "May fruit abound to your account" and "our God supply all your needs according to His riches in glory."  Philippines 4:16-19
