parked their bikes . The casual conversation would often lead to a chance to pray for them before they hit the streets . Of course , our newfound family would come if available and join in--what a blessing for us to be so encouraged that we were instant family as CMA members .
Some nasty weather came on quickly as we headed to one of the two CMA pop-up tents to get cover . It rained , thundered , and then it hailed dime size hail . We found out that we are waterproof , and once it was through , we were back out there , reaching as many as we could with the message that God loves them and has a wonderful plan for their lives .
The next day was sunny , and our
parking lot was full . We were a little disappointed as we discovered our point of contact had severely diminished . My wife and I had to turn bikers away . Surely , there was someone among the crowds that we could minister to .
This biker walked up to check out the lot . We said , “ Sorry we are full .” Then he asked if we are the group that did the bike blessings . I told him we were and he told us he was looking for us as he and a friend wanted to get their bikes blessed .
He turned to leave , and my wife spoke up and said , “ We can bless you and your bikes remotely !” He was very excited and ran to grab his friend , and there on the streets of Daytona Beach , we prayed for
them . There is power and authority when you pray God ’ s Word , and we could tell that God touched them at that moment .
They left with their bike blessing stickers and the tract that we encouraged them to read . They came back twice as they wanted to get a picture with us .
We came to be a blessing , and in turn we were so blessed by the love and the commitment of our brothers and sisters of CMA . My wife and I thank everyone who stepped out during this trying time to reach as many as we can with the best news ever . CMA
