CMA INTERNATIONAL

By MATTI Natri

AS the snow covers our land , we pray , and CMA goes indoors . We had a booth at Helsinki Motorcycle Expo in February built by our Kouvola chapter . It turned out to be very good . We served 1,000 cups of coffee to the visitors . There were over 50,000 people in attendance at this event . We had very good discussions with our guests , and we got 20 new contacts from different parts of Finland to follow up with , praise God ! In April ( this article was written in March ), we will have another Expo in Jyvรคskylรค . That will be another time to focus on prayer and , God willing , an opportunity to create new contacts .

We have a group planning a riding trip to Latvia for CMA Latvia โ€™ s 15-year celebration . We are also looking forward to having a trip to the CMA Europe Rally in Split , Croatia , in May . It will be great to meet our European brothers and sisters from different parts of Europe , gain a larger vision , and be strengthened in our faith ! CMA

WHAT

a blessing it is that every year there is a chance to read what is happening in CMA ministry around the world and to be a part of this worldwide organization . Last year we were glad to welcome CMA Finland members to our Night Run event . It was a good fellowship time together . Let โ€™ s try to be in fellowship with other Christian bikers โ€“ in that way we can encourage one another .
Each year we think about some special entertainment at the end of our organized Night Run . This time it was a couple from the circus who did several performances . How did
we come up with this idea ? As parents , we take our kids to different places and one of them is circus . Good performances mean that it took long hours worked in past . As attendees of different events , let โ€™ s be open to see opportunities โ€“ maybe there are things which can be used in our ministry .
Inspired from other CMA ministries , last year our secretary made Bible verse pictures with CMA pictures as the background . That was great , because Bible is the strongest foundation of our life what we can wish . From last year โ€™ s mission , we were blessed with two
new members and many new contacts .
This year we are celebrating 15 years of CMA ministry in Latvia . In May , Holly and John Jr plan to be in Latvia for the first time and we plan to organize great fellowship and ministry time . Our priority for this year trip is Croatia , because 2023.05.19-21 there will be CMA Europe Rally . Please pray about CMA Latvia members and families โ€“ may we can understand in what way the best we can serve people around us . CMA Zigmars Atvars serves as President of CMA Latvia .
