Corporate Medical Services was incorporated in the state of Tennessee on October 1, 1995. CMS began with a lot of prayer, $3,000 and an old laptop computer. The $3,000 was quickly gone, the computer lasted eight months, but the prayer has served and will serve as the vital component. In fact, because of prayer, there has developed a continual focus on a particular Bible scripture verse in the 14th chapter of Genesis. It served as the basis of our operational direction then and continues to do so today.
The scripture details the time in history that Lot was living in Sodom. He and the majority of the city were taken captive. Abram, his relative, took the trained men in his household and retrieved his relative, the others and all of the goods taken as capture. When he returned, he first gave one-tenth to Melchizedek, a priest serving as the representative of God (King of Salem). When Abram came to the King of Sodom, the King told him, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.” Abram responded, “I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, and have taken an oath that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or a thong of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, “I made Abram rich.’”
It is on that basis that CMS was founded. It is on this foundation that CMS shall stand. Since October 1, 1995 through this day, CMS has, to some extent, given back through several ministries. Further, CMS has never solicited a single client. When the needs have arisen, God has provided. CMS does not survive on our individual skills or abilities. CMS survives by the will of God. It is to His interest that the business shall continue and it is His interest that CMS shall serve. To God be the honor and glory.
