Dear Friends,
The CWF just returned from another incredible mission trip to Egypt. We were gone from November 15-23.
We spent the first 2 days in Cairo, sightseeing. We saw King Tut, the pyramids, and rode camels. We then left for the city of Wadi and helped put the ring together. The actual festival was incredible. The 3 day event had over 18,000 people attend. The CWF performed 6 events in 3 days, with over 1000 people in attendance for each performance. During the festival over 3000 people made decisions for Christ and over 500 of those decisions were made at the CWF events! After each event, we got to personally pray with hundreds of hurting, seeking, would be followers of Christ. It was an incredible time of ministry. After this trip, we have a new motto,
“We are Ambassadors of Christ, it’s our job to stand at the gates of hell and redirect traffic.”
This trip has capped off another incredible and blessed year! So many of you have supported us on these trips over the years.
We could not have done this without you! We are entering our 10th year for CWF. This year we performed our 400th event and have seen over 16,000 people come to know Christ. The CWF has performed in 29 states and now 3 countries!
The last couple of years we have performed a monthly event at our Rockwall warehouse, and have seen between 600-700 people come to know Christ as Savior!
Through the generous gifts and donations of time and talent of volunteers, we have made several improvements at the CWF warehouse over the last 5 years. We added a weight room, a concession stand, a second restroom, a second story for our video and sound equipment to go, air conditioning and heat. We have doubled our seating capacity, and can now store our travel van and trailer when they are not in use. Even with the financial crunch everyone has suffered this year, God has provided.
The CWF has been so blessed to have one man from Rockwall pay the rent on our building for the last several years. This year his business has suffered in this economy too. He informed us in September, that starting in January, he would no longer be able to support the CWF ministry in the same way he has the last several years. We have been praying about it and feel that continued on back this warehouse is worth fighting for. It is in a great location, the people who attend our monthly events love it and continue to spread the word and bring their lost friends. We have added so much to it over the years, that it feels like home. Between 600-700 people have made decisions for Christ in this building. I have had the privilege of baptizing several kids who got saved at this warehouse. We feel strongly that this facility is where God wants us!
We have sought the Lord’s direction for financial provision and feel led to this plan of action! It is called 200 x 20. We have 19 guys in the CWF and between all of us, we are seeking 200 individuals who would be willing to donate $20 per month to the CWF. This would not only pay our rent, but raise our mission trip money too! We will make it as easy as possible to donate each month.
Your donation can be made by direct debit or Paypal or by mailing us a check each month. Whichever way you choose, it is always tax deductible!
Please pray about partnering with the CWF to help keep our ministry going strong. It has and always will be our calling to see people come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. If you decide to partner with us, you will receive either a text message or email reminder each month from us.
Thank you for your support of the Christian Wrestling Federation.
God Bless,
Rob Vaughn
