CCM January 2022 Perspective Newsletter

From Our Director of
Community Engagement, Jeremy Burleson
WE START BY SAYING THANK YOU!
As I began to type this January 2022 newsletter message, candidly I struggled to
wrap up my thoughts around an impactful topic or thought-provoking theme to
begin this New Year. As I prayed and asked God for that direction, I couldn’t help but
be increasingly thankful for the position that He has put CCM in as we leap into 2022
with confidence that His provision is right in front of us.
Oftentimes, we in the nonprofit space tend to amplify our thank you messages to our
partners, supporters and friends as we wrap up a given calendar year. However, I’d like to START this 2022
year by simply saying THANK YOU!
THANK YOU to our wonderful supporters throughout the Faith Community here in Cabarrus and Southern
Rowan Counties. It is a privilege to partner with each of our churches in obedience to God’s Word and to
carry the Gospel of Jesus to those community members we serve daily. We eagerly await opportunities in
2022 to reconnect with those churches that we incidentally lost connection with as we collectively navigated
through the pandemic.
“Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will repay him for his deed.”
– Proverbs 19:11
To our numerous corporations and businesses that
have made collaborating with CCM a priority in its
core company values, we also say THANK YOU. The
impact that you all have, even beyond monetary
support, is instrumental to our overall influence here
in this community.
To those individuals and families that make
the decision to support CCM and our crisis to
restoration efforts, we offer our sincerest THANKS.
In 2021, God blessed our Ministry with over 200
first-time donors and for that, we are very grateful.
Each and every one of YOU who walk alongside and
minister with Cooperative Christian Ministry year
upon year is VALUED and APPRECIATED beyond
measure. CCM certainly could not serve in the
capacity in which we serve currently, without that
support.
2022 is here … and the needs in our community
continue to grow. As has been the case for the past
40 years, CCM will continue to respond to those
needs. But only through God’s grace, His provision
and by way of partners, supporters and friends like
you is that response even possible!
THANK YOU to our partners and friends at Habitat for Humanity Cabarrus County, Elder
Orphan Care, AYA House, and N.C. Works for joining CCM during a recent meeting where
two bold housing initiatives were discussed. Our ministry is grateful to partner with each
of you as collectively we work to remedy the housing crisis in Cabarrus County.
