January 9, 2017 - Recently we lost a fine, caring and giving man, Murray Mathews. As President of The Jon, Macy and Misty Bush Foundation, I would personally like to convey, along with the foundation board members, our deepest sympathies to the family.
Murray was our biggest donor. Over a 2 year period, he gave the foundation $10,000. All he asked in return was for me not to let anyone know who gave the money. That was his character. He gave from the heart, not for praise or acknowledgement. It is my honor to be able to recognize him for his kind acts of helping others.
May God wrap his arms around his family to help them through this difficult time.

January 4, 2017 - The Christian Motorcyclists Association of Center had its first meeting of 2017 on Tuesday this week at T&R’s Steaks’s ’N More. Tonight we submitted James Ragan, our vice-president, for a mission trip to Ecuador. Each CMA chapter does this and in a few weeks, the chapters will learn which chapter's submission will get to go.
Including evangelism and Bible teaching, the mission trip includes construction and general helping in communities. Mission trips to Ecuador includes donations of assets to assist in the local churches. Pack mules and horses, dirt bikes for going from village to village, and various aid packages occur.
Pray for this program, and pray for one of our own, James Ragan.
