the Leaders and Members of CMA’ s Northeast Region,

From June 2024 through October 2025, it has been a great privilege for Jenn and me to serve as interim National Evangelist supporting the Northeast Region of CMAUSA. The time we spent traveling the highways and ministering to motorcyclists in this wonderful part of our nation was an experience we won’ t soon forget.

What we saw in the leaders, chapters, and members all across the Northeast Region was truly encouraging. We witnessed firsthand so many faithful CMA members individually obeying the Lord’ s leading and actively sharing their faith with other motorcyclists. We were literally on the streets at motorcycle rallies where the Lord used faithful CMA members to be there at just the right moment to help a biker step into a new life in Christ. These experiences have only strengthened our hope for the future of our ministry. Obedient servants of

Jesus, members of CMA who continue to do the work of sharing the Good News with motorcyclists, are the strength of this ministry. Those servants we served alongside in the Northeast over the past couple of years reminded us of this truth, and we believe they are a snapshot of the greater membership of the ministry of CMA. All of us together, faithful servants of Christ, united in a mission to bring light to the motorcyclists of this country.

The hospitality we received was more than could be expected. At each event we attended, Jenn and I were welcomed and blessed. We especially want to thank everyone who hosted us in their homes, at their rallies, and at lunch and dinner meetings across all the states of the Northeast.

To the CMA leaders in the Northeast, we say a huge thank you. As we worked together through challenges, we saw the character and love of Christ shine through each of you. You are an amazing team of maturing spiritual leaders, bearing the fruit of the

Spirit at every turn. As Rick and Mary Burkey officially begin this season in their ministry, serving the leaders and members of the Northeast, they are truly blessed to have you as their team.

The words of the Apostle Paul to the Philippian believers sum up our thoughts so well:

“ Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now”( Philippians 1:3-5, NLT).

Thank you,“ partners in spreading the Good News.” Let’ s keep changing the world, one heart at a time. Jerod and Jenn McPherson CMA
