“ MAGANDANG Araw ” means good day , brothers and sisters in CHRIST . Indeed , the Lord has been faithful to CMA Philippines since being founded in 2003 . For 19 years , we impacted our community through activities such as biker ’ s camp , Bible studies , street evangelism , bike blessings , endurance run send-off prayers , tract distribution , and Gospel sharing to bikers and non-bikers alike . Through the Lord ' s work in the said activities , CMA Philippines cultivated one active pastor and church workers . Truly the Lord works and blesses those who follow His calling .

It has been a roller coaster ride since 2003 . According to one of the pioneer members , it was like the eighth time CMA Philippines would go on active and lay inactive for a time . Indeed , the Lord worked and gave a wake-up call on members who want to carry the cross . Since we established here , we have been working for our country , the Philippines , to become a CMA chartered nation . Through His will , God made it happen . We finally became one of the chartered nations last October 18 , 2021 .
It made an unforgettable impact
on CMA Philippines members and the whole CMA family who witnessed the eventful night . It was the Lord ' s calling for us to genuinely follow His will and instruction : to go , reach out , and spread His Good News and love to bikers and nonbikers . CMA Philippines was challenged , overwhelmed , inspired , and blessed to do HIS will .
It was a huge blessing that HE is working with us here . He leads us to reach the people who need Christ and those who need to rekindle their faith by visiting local churches and introducing who CMA Philippines is . We continuously practice His activities from bike blessing
in which they dedicate their bikes and lives to the Lord . We openly invite bikers , Christians and non- Christians , to encourage them to join our fellowship and camp . As a result , bikers from different churches and areas of the country showed interest in joining CMA Philippines .
Now , there is a number of aspirants and applicants who heard God ' s calling in this ministry to reach out to the community and spread His Word . Christian bikers are now ready to stand up with the Lord and take the challenge of changing the world , one heart at a time . CMA
