TEN YEARS OF CMA MINISTRY to you all

GREETINGS from Finland ! Thank you for all your prayers for us ! It is beautiful to know that we are part of a worldwide ministry and wrapped around prayers coming from all over the globe . What a blessing !

Last summer , we had our tenthyear celebration . Our prayer is that in next ten years God would give us bikers who will find Christ and join CMA . We are sad that we have seen so few salvations past years in ministry .
The anniversary party was awesome ! We were honored to have guests from CMA Latvia and Sweden in attendance . It was refreshing to have brothers from different country visiting us .
The world has been quite different past two years with Covid19 and it gets more interesting because of actions in our neighbor country ( Russia ). Previously we had quite many small mission trips and outreaches , but now we have focused more inside on our country .
We now have garages in two towns : Jyväskylä and Kouvola . One of the main goals of these places is to serve and get to know local moped youth and motorcyclists . Moped youths are quite organized , and they meet in summertime regularly , and dozens of young people attend those meetings at the time . Their big interest is stunt riding , and many of them practice wheelies and other tricks . In the Jyväskylä chapter , we have managed to get good contacts , meet leaders , and they have taken our garage as a regular place to visit . We hope and pray God will give His love through us to them and change many lives through that ministry .

We are still waiting for the first MotoGP event in Finland . The event is scheduled for July . We have good plans to go there and serve people .
This month should have been the biggest national motorcycle exhibition , but it was canceled because of Covid . We usually go to meet people , tell them what we do , and share the Gospel .
At the end of April , here in Jyväskylä was another exhibition , and we had a tent in that event . Normally that exhibition collects around 6,000 visitors , and it ' s 1 / 10 of the size of the national exhibition . But every event counts , and we are changing the world , one heart at a time . We are relying on God ' s love and grace for all of us ! So let ' s keep on doing ministry . CMA Viki Pakarinen is a member of CMA Finland .
