CMA INTERNATIONAL

BEING CMA family is a privilege , and we can say that we learned this during the year 2020 . When the Covid-19 pandemic started in March and phase zero was declared , we were all shocked . We had to stay at home , were no longer allowed to go on motorcycle trips , and our freedom was limited . We wondered how everything would end . What kind of virus was it , and how would it affect our health ? Question after question arose . Our normal life seemed to be over . Should it go on like this now without meetings of the CMA members , no prayer times , no meetings , and above all , no rides ? The future was uncertain ; we no longer knew how to go on .
But it was precisely in this situation that we noticed how good it is to belong to a big family . Prayers and words of courage from the members at home and abroad made us slowly regain the courage to work . Meetings and prayer sessions over Zoom brought us back together . The different chapters began to activate again ; slowly , life came back into the “ dead bones .”
In the second half of the year , everything seemed to go easier ; we got a lot of support from our International Ambassador , Holly Ogden , and her team . We would also like to thank all of our Spanish-speaking partners , Argentina , Brazil , Chile , Peru , Colombia , and Spain , for their prayers and support . By the end of the year , thank God , almost everything in our country returned to normality . We ask God , especially for the above-mentioned countries , that He may give them wisdom and strength to persevere so that they do not weaken , as in their countries , there are still strong limits for civil life .
2020 was like a terrible storm , and by God ’ s grace , we were able to announce the Good News to many . We took every chance we had to give a word of hope to those
who had completely lost it . With this in mind , we started a CMA live broadcast on Facebook , where a message of peace and salvation is given every week until now . Our five chapters have regular meetings to pray and seek the Word of God together . We have also participated in evangelistic events that were organized by local ministries , where we gave support and let people know what CMA is about . It ' s a war of this world , but we do not “ let not our hearts be troubled ” and “ we are not afraid ” ( John 14:27b , NKJV ), because Jesus said : “ I have overcome the world ” ( John 16:33b , NKJV ). We encourage every CMA brother and sister to take these words and make them yours . May the Lord renew our strengths and give us His Holy Spirit in order to impact our nations in a powerful way . CMA
