The weight of ministry never seems to lighten, does it?
Every pastor knows the feeling—just when you have one crisis handled, three more appear. That's exactly where we found ourselves one year at the annual CMN event we call Lions Roar.
Just before the event, a desperate prison chaplain called: 'Our inmates are hungry to keep studying CMN curriculum, but we need more books.' That's when God moved through ordinary men with extraordinary hearts...
On the last day of the event, we asked the men to give something from their pockets --their lunch money, coffee money, emergency stash, whatever.
Then a bi-vocational pastor named Aaron Franz called and said, "I'll make up any shortfall."
The money was raised. The books were sent. The classes went on.
Now, to the man who dropped in a $5 bill, he probably didn't think it mattered much.
Maybe someone dropped in just the change left in his pocket. Maybe it didn't seem like much to him.
But a few years later, a man named Paul Vargas came to that annual event and told the story. He was one of those inmates who received those books donated by pocket change.
Paul got discipled through those books. He graduated from the course, got out of prison, and is now overseeing a rehabilitation center, helping other men.
So the question is, did $5 matter? To Paul Vargas it did. Did a few bits of change matter? Yes, to the people who Paul Vargas ministers to now--it mattered a lot.
Everything you and I do for the kingdom matters. And now, the CMN Guardians are men pledging to give monthly ANY AMOUNT in order to reach the Paul Vargas's of the world.
Becoming a CMN Guardian aligns with who you are, a man who values integrity and impact.
Help reach men for Christ…because it matters. Stand with the brotherhood.
You'll receive Brave Men Motivational and a gift every month--a chance to sit in the 'Locker Room' on zoom with former NFL player Otto Kelly and Dangerous Nations leader Steve Trevino--a great download, a video--every month, resources are coming your way.
Please join the CMN Guardians with a gift of any amount and simply have the satisfaction that you've helped change a man's life.
What could be better or feel better than that?
We are CMN - we rescue men.
