CMA International By IGOR Govorko the speed and cross racing, and we took the opportunity to pray for the people who were actively involved in racing. This was gladly accepted. There were also many home meetings where we prayed and talked about all the good and negative things. Also, most of our members attended motorcycle rallies and winter party invitation gatherings. The church organized different seminars and conferences which were attended by our members and we also participated at the “Guard thy brother” conference, where we took part in street evangelization. We visit- ed professional speed and cross races where there was room for evangeliza- tion and we shared the New Testament and represented CMA Macedonia at the races. We drove to Romania on the famous Transalpine Tour and visited our beloved brothers in Romania, along with our brothers from CMA Bulgaria and CMA Albania. The female part of the group was also active while visiting children with leukemia in hospitals, and through these church-organized events, the repetition of the CMA Member Training, we realized what the reason we were called in was, and the reason we were involved into such a mission- ary organization, and why we man- aged to stay focused on Christ. Our brothers from CMA Bulgaria had a great share in our consolida- tion, and they unreservedly helped us in the segments where we were weak, namely: to give ourselves fully and to accept each sacrifice in His glory, to serve unreservedly, to love one another the way He loved all. We must also emphasize Holly Ogden’s dedica- tion, who tirelessly provided us with moral support, and prayed tirelessly for CMA Macedonia with an army of warriors of Christ. All of this contributed to joining of five more new members into the CMA Family before the end of the year, praise the Lord for that, and this was a great encouragement to all of us older CMA members. It gave us a wind to our wings because CMA Macedonia is the living body of Christ. I would like to add that we are the big CMA Family and we should pray for each other, love and respect each other, and serve wherever Jesus sends us. Let us truly be the light and the salt of this world in which we live and act; let us be examples outside, in the world, in our homes, in front of our children, with our spouses, in our workplaces, and that light can be seen by others if we are renewed through Jesus Christ every day, allow- ing the Holy Spirit to testify. Let our service and our lives be someone's Bible every day. Praise the Lord, Jesus Christ for choosing us. It is truly a great privilege to be called His chil- dren. CMA Members of CMA Macedonia. Igor Govorko serves as the country contact of CMA Macedonia. Macedonia is relatively new and unique in the Republic of Macedonia. Being a unique Christian association implies that we have a huge responsibility in the world of the motorcycling. The Macedonian motorcycle community is not a big one, but it is a fertile ground to reach every heart that is in need of God. As a matter of fact, it increases our motivation for even greater achievements on behalf of the Evangelical Christians to impart the Good News and to reach any person who needs or seeks salvation through Christ. 2019 was a year of many down- falls, with many unclear and tangled situations. At one point, it was like the absence of God was felt in the organi- zation itself, but when each individual prays to Christ and our brothers and sisters in the community and around the world pray, the result is known as: "If God is with us, who is against us?" Actually, when we break down and God allows it, that is the only way His light can penetrate into each of us and only so can we experience the renewal. This is the key word I could say about the CMA Macedonia for 2019, and that is renewal. There were various changes until the final consolidation, and 2019 began with the traditional gathering on the Macedonia Square. CMA was present, we were serving all citizens who came to attend the event with coffee and tea, and even distributed 60 New Testaments. There were also many conversations with the people who attended the event. One of our members was previously active in the motorcycling industry – specifically in CMA
