THE last 12 months have been a trying time for all of us . But our God is bigger than all of the things that have been happening on a worldwide scale . Thank God that Jesus said we are in the world but not of the world . Through all that , we in CMA Ireland took every opportunity afforded us to reach out to the lost on the highways and byways of Ireland . All the circular bike clubs had no events ; the state had canceled them . But we in CMA Ireland did not waste time on every opportunity to get out but advertised an event , and bikers turned up . The main one was Abbeyleix Bike Meet . Up to 150 bikers were at this event on a Tuesday evening in this little
town . Some had come from as far as 200 km . We shared and prayed as God led us . Some of us now have our personal testimony written out on a small tract which we also give out . We pray for them , and they take away living testimonies with them .
The chapters continue to meet . We have seen some new faces in the chapters , which is very encouraging . It is bringing to mind the theme of our Seasons of Refreshing , “ Bring someone with you .” I am excited about what the Lord is doing not only in Ireland but all over , and we in CMA are blessed to be part of this fantastic work . Our calendar is filling up quickly with Seasons of Refreshing , then
the first commercial bike show in two years , the Cork Bike Show . We booked a stand at that . There are road races in Kells and Skerries . Bike Fest , we have booked and are ready to go and answer the call of that Great Commission . Go into all the world and make disciples . Go to those you will never see going into a church building .
One couple , two of our members of CMA , both bikers , relocated to Scotland . We do miss them , but we are only here for a season . Ambassadors for Christ on two wheels . Occupying until He comes . Busy doing what He wants us to do . CMA Jerry Dargan is National President of CMA Ireland .

By MIMMO “ BIMOTA ” Melchionda GOD is good . This is a certainty . When there is something wrong , when disappointments arrive , when we feel downcast , it is not His fault , but ours . This year our team suffered a serious loss . Our National President left the CMA ministry , leaving us perplexed . But God turned this suffering into an opportunity . Today our team meets weekly to study , pray , and set new goals . CMA
