Hi All,

My pastor asked me to briefly speak this Sunday during our worship service, which is to have the theme of "CELEBRATION". He specifically mentioned celebrating our little church's exceeding its GCF pledge.

As happy as I am that members of our congregation give to the GCF, what I really want to celebrate is how the Lord used the GCF in getting people being born again of the Spirit of Christ! As great as it would be to find that number in a C&MA Annual report, I know that the only one who has that number written down is the Lord Jesus Himself. The closest I could find was in an older annual report where we listed the international regions where the C&MA serves, and how many new baptisms where in those regions. I think this might have been for the 2009-2010 year.

Are there newer numbers available? I tried signing up for MyCMA+ to get access to annual reports, but I haven't heard anything back. Perhaps we have one at my local church in Butler, PA, but its hard to get there during the week, and I'd like to start gathering my thoughts before the weekend.

Thanks for any help that anyone can offer,

In Christ,

Dave
