CHANGING
the world , one heart at a time . This is the vision of the Christian Motorcyclists Association . We , as members of CMA , take this statement very seriously . We are diligent to take the Lord ’ s Message to all the places we go . We work hard to talk to everyone we see about Jesus , bless motorcycles , and pray with everyone who has a need . Do we leave a piece of Jesus when we are done ?
2 Timothy 4:2 ( KJV ), “ Preach the word ; be instant in season , out of season ; reprove , rebuke , exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine .”
Kentucky State Rally 2019 was the most spiritually filled state rally I have ever attended . During the rally , through the grace of God , there were 30 young men ( all under 15 years old ) that received Jesus in their heart and were saved . Several workers at the facility that hosted our State Rally were also saved . Praise the Lord !
The fellowship between CMA members was at its best and I was feeling good about the moving of the Holy Spirit . We had everything packed up and I was finishing the last few details before we left . Suddenly , the lady who ran the facility came over to me and told me something I had never heard before . She told me in all the years she had worked at this facility , she had never witnessed an organization like CMA . She said that right from the start she knew that there was something different about this group . She also stated that the spiritual impact on her staff over the last four days was something she would have never expected from any other organization . She told me about the workers who got saved that weekend . One of the staff had been an active church member , but something happened in her life and she quit going . She has now renewed her relationship with Jesus because of the influence of the CMA ’ ers that were there . She thanked us for the blessing of a collection that was taken for the hard work of the staff who served us . Then she made the most powerful statement I have ever heard . She said , “ CMA , when they came , they brought Jesus with them . When they left , they left Jesus with them .” I explained it was the example of Jesus ’ s love that they experienced .
Mark 16:15-16 ( KJV ), “ And he said unto them , Go ye into all the world , and preach the gospel to every creature .”
WOW ! CMA came into a facility , shared Jesus , and changed the lives of so many people in only four days ! To know that we left Jesus with them when we departed filled my heart with thankfulness as lives where changed . I called her again several weeks after the rally to thank her for their hospitality . She
shared that they were seeing changed lives through Jesus , and the staff members were still talking about the impact CMA had on them . In fact , several of the staff members who had never been to church were now attending a nearby church . It was obvious to me that solid Christian fruit was shared that weekend to the glory of God .
Matthew 28:19 ( KJV ), “ Go ye therefore , and teach all nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Ghost .”
During the rally , we went to a state-run boys ’ home . There were 65 troubled young men staying there . Several of the CMA members talked to them about Jesus and how He has changed their lives . At the end , we asked if anyone wanted to give their lives to
Jesus . Thirty of them stood up and received the Lord into their hearts . The next day we followed up with
