CMA International
By VIKI Pakarinen
GOD MULTIPLIES!
been six years since I
joined CMA; at that time
we had less than ten members. This
summer we will celebrate our eight
year birthday, and we will have
almost fifty full color members! We
have two main chapters at the
moment and a few forming ones.
Saarijärvi Chapter started prison
ministry and they actively visit dif-
ferent prisons in Finland and in
Albania during our mission trip
there. Our National President, Matti
Natri, lived there many years and
God made a big impact through
him in Balkan states! Now we are
glad to have him and his family
back in Finland and developing
CMA Finland.
One of the first prison visits we
learned the leader of the place was
a motorcyclist also. He wanted to
drive ahead of us through the
It´s
prison gates. It was a good opening
and I believe it was a spiritual open-
ing also to us in that work! Now
doors have opened to many prisons
and also more secure ones.
Last month we participated in
the main motorcycle exhibition in
Finland. We were there for the sec-
ond time. 57,000 people were in
attendance! Many good conversa-
tions were had in our tent and on
the last day of that weekend one
man gave his life to Jesus! We
praise that God does His work one
heart at a time!
A few years ago I wrote that it´s
been a time for building and mak-
ing us ready to have more mem-
bers. Now God has given them to
us! Our growth has put us in a situ-
ation that we needed a national
level to guide and help in all things.
So we established a national board;
made up of President Matti and
two board members: myself and
Sakari Pihlaja. Please pray for us
that we succeed in our work and be
patient to build a good foundation
where different chapters and mem-
bers can work!
Big opportunities lay ahead. A
new racetrack is opening to Finland
this year! KymiRing track in Iitti; it is
the first track in Finland that fills
the standards of MotoGP. The plan
is that in 2020 there will be a
MotoGP race in Finland. We need to
be there sharing the Gospel and
showing love to people. I have a
dream that we have an internation-
al team there during that event to
reach as many people as we can!
You are the most welcome to help
us on that mission in our land of
thousand lakes, either here or in
prayers! CMA
