GREETINGS from CMA
Ireland ! How the world has changed since 2020 . It has been a challenge for all of us to find out ways of doing things yet keeping the Gospel message the same , as the Gospel never changes . We , as members of CMA , are challenged daily to walk and live a life worthy of our calling . Jude 20- 21 ( NJKV ) states , “ But you , beloved , building yourself up on your most holy faith , praying in the Holy Spirit , keep yourselves in the love of God , looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life .”
Our schedule is full for 2023 until September . Our outreach is to draw near to bikers who are lost . There are those from the biking world at the Abbeyleix Bike Meet who voiced their joy to be at the event because CMA is there – also affirmed this because of the Christian input by CMA . Abbeyleix , like all events , needs prayer because only God can change the hearts of sinful men .
Many lady bikers turn up for this event , and we are praying for more Christian lady bikers to join us in ministry .
I thank God for our Board of Directors , as they are very serious men of God and prayer warriors , and they are a great support to the ministry .
CMA Ireland started the season in January with the Seasons of Refreshing . It was a national event . The building where the event was held was as cold inside as outside on that Saturday . Even though the heating was on , the heaters made little impression on the inside temperature .
From the chapter meetings , there is a desire to be out on the highways and byways , and many of the CMA members voice their desire to be out on Saturdays as much as possible . As a result , we had a bike ride to Cork and Cobh . There was a small group of us there , but we were together , we enjoyed the fellowship , and we spoke about things going forward . The fields are ripe , and the harvest is plentiful , but the labourers are few .
For a few years , we have been going to Tiglin , which is a drug rehab center . We ' ve been invited there by the management to ride in on our bikes and share the message of Christ . There ' s a great welcome there , and the guys are very eager to hear the message and the testimonies of what God is doing in bikers ’ lives . In 2022 , we visited another drug rehab center in Tipperary , run by a group called Remar . CMA has had much input over the months with that group of people , and we have seen several of them coming to faith in Christ as a result of testimonies and sharing of the Word .
Our plan going forward is to continue to reach out with the Gospel to bikers on the highways and byways of Ireland at any biking event . CMA
Jerry Dargan serves as President of CMA Ireland .
