Dear Fathers and Spiritual Fathers of CLMI,
On this Father’s pou, I want to personally take a moment to honor and celebrate each one of you—fathers by birth and fathers by the spirit—who play such a crucial role in our global ministry. You are the foundation upon which so much of the work at CLMI is built, and your impact stretches across continents, touching lives in ways we may never fully grasp this side of Heaven.
For those of you who are fathers by birth, your love, leadership, and guidance have shaped your families. But your influence doesn’t stop there. The same strength, wisdom, and faith that you invest into your homes are felt in our churches around the world. Your example, as you lead with integrity, serves as a beacon for both your children and the leaders in our ministries. The way you walk in truth and humility inspires the next generation of leaders, empowering them to serve with a heart for God's Kingdom.
To those who are spiritual fathers, your impact is immeasurable. You have not only poured into your own biological children, but you have also fathered many spiritual sons and daughters in the faith across the countries where CLMI is growing—Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Germany, and beyond. We’re now in Malawi and we’re heading to Rwanda and Australia next. You’ve guided, mentored, and nurtured them through the challenges of ministry, and because of your leadership, countless lives are being transformed. The churches you shepherd are not just buildings; they are living, thriving expressions of the Kingdom of God, fueled by your love and commitment.
Proverbs 20:7 says, “The just man walketh in his integrity: his children are blessed after him.” This verse beautifully captures the essence of fatherhood—whether biological or spiritual. Your integrity, your faithfulness, and your dedication to living out God’s Word bless not only your children but also all those whose lives you touch. Your walk of integrity is a blessing to CLMI, as it’s reflected in the countless churches and ministries that bear your influence.
Every day, as you pour out into others, you are building a legacy that will last for generations. Whether you’re leading a church in a bustling city or a small village halfway across the world, your spiritual investment has an eternal impact. You are not just fathers; you are Kingdom builders, shaping the future of the church and influencing nations.
I am deeply grateful for each of you, and I thank God for the way you serve with passion, perseverance, and love. May you feel deeply honored and appreciated today—and always—for the incredible gift you are to your families, our churches, and the Kingdom of God.
Happy Father’s Day! May God bless you abundantly as you continue to lead with courage, faith, and heart.
With great appreciation and love,
Kevin Truett
Chief Apostle, CLMI
