MABUHAY , greetings from CMA
Philippines . The year 2020 was really challenging for each individual , not only for the CMA Philippines , but every chapter there is . The Philippines was put on total lockdown in March 2020 . Over time , the government became lax and lenient . Even though there was a lockdown and pandemic , CMA Philippines continued to do our fellowship and meeting through social media such as Messenger and Zoom . COVID-19 pandemic did not stop the LORD ’ s work with CMA Philippines . We continually do the four areas of a healthy chapter : fellowship , discipleship , prayer , and evangelism .
When the government allowed people to travel , we , as CMA , also traveled and reached out to bikers and non-bikers alike . In Matthew 4:19 ( NIV ), “‘ Come , follow me ,” Jesus said , “ and I will send you out to fish for people .’” CMA also evangelized to bikers , like Mau and Karl , who are now riding with us , and soon as the Lord moves into their lives , we continue to have words of God with them every time we meet and ride .
CMA Philippines also supported a church and its outreach in Silang , Cavite , to encourage people and uplift their faith . After CMA ’ s visit , the number of church attendees multiplied . It is not our work , but the Lord ’ s hand is at work in that place . Also , in the area , CMA Philippines started to encourage children from a shelter that houses abused households ; we give testimonies and God ’ s Word to motivate and give purpose to their lives . We are praying for them to grow in the Lord ’ s guidance and light .
With GOD working for CMA
Philippines , we are to follow HIS leading ; who are we to say no when HE provides us HIS strength , wisdom , encouragement , and the joy working for HIM . To GOD be the glory . CMA
James Ledesma serves as country contact of CMA Philippines .
