CMA INTERNATIONAL
By DANAIL Georgiev
AT the end of 2021 , we were running out of Bibles , and it was time to organize the new printing before the 2022 riding season . We did not have the finances , but we definitely needed new copies , so we began working on the project , hoping to print at least the same number as the first time ( approximately 1,300 ). We discussed this at our national meeting , and our visiting friends from CMA Macedonia shared their dream to have the New Testament in their language . Although we did not have the money for the Bulgarian Bible , we felt God ’ s call to extend a helping hand and promise to support the printing of Macedonian Bibles as well .
Soon God provided the necessary funds through local sources and CMA Germany . We managed to print 3,000 copies – more than double of what we had hoped for . Moreover , we had sufficient resources to support part of the printing of 2,500 copies for CMA Macedonia !
Among our supporters , there is a lady I want to share with you . None of her family rides . She has heart disease and has been living off a very limited social pension , which is way below what is needed for a living , but she and her family keep on trusting God for provision .
At one point , she and her husband went out of town for several days to pray for a family problem . There God spoke to her in a dream , but His message was not exactly related to what she had prayed for . In her dream , she clearly saw a book , and God told her that she needed to start donating half of her monthly pension for the printing of that book . She had no clue what the book was and whom she should give the money to . She began faithfully donating half of her income to a CMA Bulgaria chaplain , thinking that he was writing a book . Despite his claim that he had not been working on a book himself , she insisted that he received the money . Then he told her if it was ok with her , he would add the money to support CMA Bulgaria , which was raising for printing a biker Bible in Bulgarian and Macedonian languages . She kept donating for over six months .
When the new Bibles were printed , we gave certificates of gratitude to everyone who had supported us . This lady also received a certificate together with a copy of the Bible . “ This is the book God showed me in my dream ,” she exclaimed and cried with excitement , “ exactly the same cover !”
I was deeply moved by this experience . It is a reminder that we need to follow God ’ s call and trust Him to provide whatever is needed for its fulfillment . He can use sources and supply resources that we had never thought were available . Even through our very simple response to His call , God blesses us in ways beyond our planning or imagination .
