CMA INTERNATIONAL

By HOLLY Ogden

IT is my pleasure to serve the ministry of CMA as the Executive International Ambassador . In this role , I work to start CMA in new nations , assist forming nations through the CMA International Process , and invest training and relationship in our CMA International Family . Our CMA International family is currently in 38 nations . While the previous year was challenging , you will notice over and over again the hope that our brothers and sisters around the world have for the calling God has placed on their lives to minister to the motorcyclists of their nations . They have found creative ways to continue moving forward in ministry , reaching out to people one on one that God has placed in their paths .

Challenging times are times where we get to see what truly lives within us . While we may become discouraged when the challenge starts , that is not where we stay . Instead , we band together , praying for one another , seeking God together , and then standing firm in the knowledge of the truth that has been birthed in our hearts when we accepted a lifelong walk with Christ . We are a CMA International family that is rooted in the strength of hope that the Gospel of Christ brings .
Through this time , we have forged deeper connections with the leaders of our CMAI family by hosting monthly regional Zoom meetings , attending each other ’ s virtual rallies , communicating through various media , and just checking in on one another . When one country leader has been experiencing the struggle of enforced lockdowns , our other leaders have been quick to pray for and encourage them through the shared experience of trusting God as we step into the unknown . Connection is what family is about , and we are thankful for all of the creative methods God has given us to connect in spite of a sickness that has attempted to bring isolation to the world .
I encourage you to pray for our CMA International family as many nations are still experiencing austere measures and need a boost of encouragement . We are still praying about our ability to host a Changing of the Colors International Rally this October and plan to make that decision in late May based on the current situation around the world . Our desire is to bring the entire family together and we entrust this into His hands . CMA
