Π’HE beginning of a new season .
During 2022 , we believed for a little , but God blessed us with abundance .
It would be immodest of us if we say that this past year we were too active in all areas . Since the beginning of 2022 , we started with the traditional opening of the new season in Skopje , the capital city , at the central square , by offering free coffee , cookies , playing music , and sharing God β s Word with bikers and passers-by .
In February , thanks to the warm weather , we started riding the twowheeled machines , and we were invited and attended the Bikers Garage at the Biker Meet & Food Festival , and we made a decision that this year we were going to be turbo-active . Numerous motorcycle gatherings , motorcyclists β birthdays , and parties followed , and we were present .
In addition , three more candidates joined our team and later became full members of CMA Macedonia .
We decided to grow spiritually as a family , and it happened . The pastor of the local church , as well as the chaplain , unreservedly and with a lot of effort and love , embarked on spiritual discipleship for our personal growth , transformation , strengthening , and unification of all of us in one body , which will serve to be recognized as Christ β s followers . For this purpose , the first workshop was organized by three pastors from three different churches , titled : β The CMA Family Workshop .β
As the warm weather started , we were present in several churches around the country to present our ministry and to encourage new people , future potential candidates who might find themselves in the ministry , to approach .
A simple idea for fellowship between CMA Macedonia and CMA Bulgaria led to a two-day fellowship with our brothers from Bulgaria , where there was a wonderful and blessed time of fellowship , testimonies , and prayer .
This year was extremely important for us because we were once again returned to the CMA International map as a chartered nation , which made us really happy , but also aware of the responsibility we carry .
Humanity in action is always our recognizable signature , and this year we donated , and we were also co-organizers of events , together with motorcycle clubs , during which an extremely large amount of clothes , food , and finances were collected for endangered families .
We were also present on the air this year , as we were invited several times on local and national radios to speak about what we do and why we do it , which was a good opportunity to share the Gospel .
They also invited us to male health public events , where some of our members paraded as models . The female part of the CMA participated in the event : β Breast Cancer Support β and at many other events .
Three of our members were baptized in the name of our Lord , Jesus Christ , and that was our greatest joy .
But God is faithful , and when I say that we were faithful in a little and God blessed us with abundance , I really mean it because soon after all of this , the project to make our motorcycle Bibles , or a New Testament for bikers , arose . We had no money , but we had desire and faith .
And again , God , in His creative
