CMA International
By MIKE Fitton
Hi
Anniversary.
Each year the rally is hosted by a
different country and different
motorcycle group/association.
Recent rallies have been in the
Netherlands, Latvia, Finland, Spain,
and Portugal. This year, CMA UK is
hosting the rally from August 1-4
and expect around 350-500
Christian bikers and their families
to make the journey. We hope that
many of our CMA family from
Europe and the CMA International
Support Team will be able to join
us. The theme this year is ‘Victory
in Surrender.’
Anyone who has organised a
rally will know that it takes some
doing! This rally has been in the
planning for quite some time and
we are nearly there with organising
speakers, youth and children’s
teams, seminars, catering, worship
bands, marquees, camping, book-
ing forms, etc. It is all coming
together and we see the thread of
grace as the final touches are being
made.
The last time we hosted the rally
was in 2010 with 500 bikers on site
representing 15 countries – that’s
really exciting stuff! We may be
divided by different languages, dif-
ferent bikes, different cultures, but
we are “all one in Christ Jesus”
(Galatians 3:28b, NKJV), and this is
evident by the hugs, smiles, laugh-
ter, and tears shared between us
all.
I particularly enjoy the early
morning prayer meetings; often
seeing 100 people attend. I encour-
age everyone to pray in their own
language, knowing Heaven doesn’t
need a translator. The greatest uni-
versal language we hear comes
from hearts full of grace and mercy
crying out to God for friends, fami-
lies, and lost bikers.
Please would you pray that God
comes amongst us at the EMC
Rally in Holy Spirit Power. Pray God
increases our passion to see our
friends, families, and the lost bikers
of Europe come to faith in Christ.
Pray we remain faithful and united
to Christ and to each other, no
matter what our countries decide
on our behalf!
The greatest calling on our lives
is to serve our Living God in CMA;
the greatest mistake would be to
take that calling for granted and
miss all that Heaven has planned
for us. CMA

from CMA United Kingdom;
we are privileged to be a
part of this amazing world-wide
mission organisation.
You may not know that the UK is
made up of four countries –
England, Scotland, Northern
Ireland, and Wales. At the time of
writing we are still part of the
‘European Union.’
The UK is facing a challenging
time and it has produced a new
word in our political dictionary –
‘Brexit’ – short for ‘Britain choosing
to Exit the European Union.’ Europe
may be divided by political opinion,
but as Christian motorcyclists, we
choose to remain united through
faith in Christ.
I am excited to tell you about a
special event that is held every year
that will maintain this united faith -
the ‘European Motorcyclists for
Christ Rally’ (EMC). This rally unites
not only CMA members, but also
brothers and sisters from other
Christian motorcycle clubs and
associations throughout Europe.
We all meet for a weekend of fel-
lowship, prayer, worship, and chal-
lenges from God’s Word and 2019
is a celebration of the rally’s 29th
