Sustainer’s Breath

Matt Miles • March 16, 2020

Take a deep breath…let’s focus on Genesis 1 where the Lord breathed life into existence by His Word. Life was first given from the power, love and grace of the Lord. Our lives today still rely on the same power, love and grace to sustain our existence, whether we acknowledge this reality or not. In the midst of the current climate with the “COVID-19 pandemic”, where is your faith and trust?

Is your faith in the government? Are they doing what they should be doing for you? Is your trust in financial planning? Are your finances unwavering at all times? These volatile times are testing where and in whom we place our faith and trust. We here at CTF urge you to place your faith and trust in only one person, Jesus Christ. This is not just a trite comment, but rather from the full recognition of His authority over all as our Creator. “In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?” – Job 12:10. He is our solid Rock that will not be moved in the midst of chaos, no matter where the chaos stems. We must focus on our Sustainer always, but these times make that truth even more real.

We will continue to share the powerful message the Lord has given to us, and it is our desire that all know His sustaining hand. Our ministry’s call and desire is to travel and share His Word, and we will continue our mission as long as we are able. However, in the current climate of “social distancing” and because of circumstances beyond our control, it has begun to get tough to do so. Please remember us and your missionaries over the next several months. Your support is vital, and we seek your prayers during this time as our schedule is being impacted by this situation. We seek the Lord, as always, for our sustenance and He continues to provide through and by you. We praise the Lord for this and recognize He is our hope.

Blessings!

Summer of 2025 is two-thirds finished. We have taught at 7 different camp weeks along with 6 VBSes. Ryan and I have had a busy summer for the Kingdom. Our travels have stretched from Ohio to Colorado and all points in between. We have taught in churches and connected with many supporters and friends. This summer, as usual, ministry has taken us away from family for periods, but there has been great returns for the sacrifice - more than fifteen souls have been added to God’s eternal Kingdom and even more seeds planted with life-changing fruit produced, from the young to old. Again and again we encounter students that are fired up with a passion for knowledge of the Word of God. As these students have found answers to questions or faith-challenging issues, they are better equipped to share their faith. This summer we have had the opportunity to reconnect with many students whom we taught at a younger age. Now they are in their teens or heading to college. Their testimonies of strengthened faith because of the mission God has called us to is more than rewarding. It never gets old to meet grandparents, or even great-grandparents, during VBS that have lived their lives as followers of Christ yet have never seen the impact of Genesis to the Gospel. Just yesterday this happened with a grandmother who was overjoyed and appreciative of our teaching and message. Knowing more about dinosaurs Biblically allows for them to have new lines of communication with their cherished grandkids. Our ability to give these great warriors of the faith answers that can impact their families for eternity is priceless to us.  Please continue to lift us up in prayer as our summer is not over yet. As always, know that your support is making an impact for the Kingdom that we are eternally grateful for. If you are thinking about having us come next summer, don’t hesitate to contact us as summers fill quicker than the rest of the year. Summer has and will continue to be a crazy busy time for Kingdom work. Blessings.
