BEING a member of
God ’ s ministry , the Christian Motorcyclists Association ( CMA ) has been a major blessing to my wife , Lyn , and me . We first joined CMA in 2009 , soon after we met the President ( Rich Cartier ) and Secretary ( Kathy Cartier ) of the Revelation Riders chapter in Pittsfield , Massachusetts . At the time , Rich and his wife , Kathy , were members of our home church . Rich was a great ambassador for CMA .
Rich always told me that I would not have a full appreciation of CMA until I attended a National Rally . So , in 2011 , Rich and I rode our bikes from Massachusetts to Hiawassee , Georgia , for the National Rally . We had a great time , and I got a much more complete picture of what God was / is doing through CMA .
Because of what I experienced at the National Rally in Hiawassee , I felt led to get more involved in CMA . Since then :
• I have been on many CMA mission trips .
• Assisted with tabulation of the RFS monies at the National Support Center .
• I volunteered at the National Support Center full-time from 2016-2019 . In 2016 , I was called to join the CMA Board of Directors . It is both a challenge and a blessing to be a part of this ministry . God is in control , and the Holy Spirit leads . CMA

( continued from page 20 ) vest pockets to locate the coin . I located it , showed it to Teresa , and asked if that was the coin . She said , “ Yes , that ’ s it .” I told her why I had it and said , “ This coin is for you .” She was speechless
Pam Morris , Karey Gardner , Darby Feil , and Wendy Brown
and brought to tears ( as we all were ). When she could talk , she kept asking , “ Really , are you serious ?”
Wendy , Pam , and I continued talking with Teresa , encouraging her , and inviting her to the Sunday morning CMA service . Teresa and her husband came to the service and were able to purchase the coin from John for her husband to go with the one that the Holy Spirit had gifted her .
From John giving me the coin , Jeff taking my trash duty , Diego involving Pam in the ministry opportunity , and then Pam involving Wendy and me , only the Holy Spirit could orchestrate the path of that coin to Teresa to meet the desire of her heart at a time that she so needed to hear from the Holy Spirit .
“ But the Comforter , which is the Holy Ghost , whom the Father will send in my name , he shall teach you all things , and bring all things to your remembrance , whatsoever I have said unto you ” ( John 14:26 , KJV ). CMA
