CMA International By JULIAN Osmani “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile” (Romans 1:16, NIV). This is the verse that gives us power as CMA in Albania. Sharing the Gospel with bikers in our country, as we ride for the Son, is a privilege. Albania is a small country in Southeast Europe, in Adriatic and Ionian Sea, within the Mediterranean Sea. CMA has been in Albania for 12 years now. We have seen the hand of God working in us and through us. During these years we have our ups and downs, but we learned to keep our eyes on Jesus Christ, to be focused on the message of the cross. This has been the guide to victory over every obstacle. Albania is a country with 70% Muslims, and shar- ing the Gospel freely was made avail- able after the communism collapse. During communism Albania was declared by constitution an atheist country, the only country in the world. As time went by, we saw that the biker community was a group of people totally unreached with the Gospel. So this was an alarm in our hearts. Being among them as sons of God is really important. They need to hear and see the hope that is in our hearts, lived through our lives. We need to live Christ in our life, so everyone can see the living hope that is in us. Every year, we are present at every rally and at events for bikers. Keeping contacts with people that we pray for and sharing the Word of God as they open their hearts with us has been important. God enabled us to serve marginalized groups of people, sharing the love of God with them and touching their needs. God does not ask men to behave in order to be saved, but to believe. It is faith in Christ that saves the sinner. Eternal life in Christ is one gift that is suitable for all people, no matter what their need may be or what their station in life. “Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel” was Christ’s commission (Mark 16:15, KJV). We need to live this mission in our lives. We want to thank the prayer team for all the prayers for CMA in Albania and for all the prayers for our family. Thank you for all your support.

In 2019, in CMA Argentina, we had a saying, “2019, year of chal- lenges and changes.” As we know, CMA's vision is changing the world, one heart at a time, so if you asked me to borrow my Harley, I would tell you no. If you asked me for $30,000, I would also say no. And if you asked me what it feels like to walk on the moon, I would be silent. I don't have a Harley, I don't have $30,000, and I have never walked on the moon. We can't give what we don't have, nor teach what we don't know. In the same way, if we want to change the world, one heart at a time, we must Hello first change our hearts. will breathe life into our country from Understanding this truth, we fought east to west and from north to south. hard in the greatest challenge we CMA Argentina 2020 is blowing life!
