CMA INTERNATIONAL
By IVAN Audette
THIS past year has brought
CMA Canada , and I ’ m sure many other countries , out from the shadow of Covid 19 . Many of our members were more than ready to come out for our Seasons of Refreshing as well as the different events that we normally go to , even though not all of them were open for business . One great event that we were able to go forward with was our No Borders Rally . This is a joint rally between CMA Canada and CMA USA and was held in Regina , Saskatchewan . We didn ’ t get the attendance we normally do , but we were blessed with those who came . CMA USA CEO / Chairman of the Board , John Ogden Sr , attended as well as National Evangelist – North Central Region , Jay Wilber . They made a valiant effort to cross our border and their presence blessed us tremendously .
Due to Covid our membership numbers did take a hit , but we were able to register 26 salvations with many opportunities to pray for bikers . We stand at 21 chapters and with one forming chapter in the province of Newfoundland . This forming chapter was a great answer to prayer with it being in the works since 2015 . We plan to be chartering this chapter in August with a special ride to the island of Newfoundland . We anticipate an exciting trip with support from our mainland members and special guests , and I ’ m sure it will be a highlight for us .
We look forward this year for our Seasons of Refreshing events , crossing Canada from coast to coast to see and encourage our members with God ’ s Word and having great times of fellowship . Our theme this year is “ Accelerate ” and we can see with the events happening in this world that our time here is getting shorter . But these times of earthquakes , wars , disease , recessions , unjust governments , and liberal ideology cannot separate us from our God , or from
what He has called us to do as members of CMA Canada and CMA International . Come Lord Jesus , come ! In the meantime , we will continue to ‘ keep on keeping on .’
“ For I am persuaded that neither death nor life , nor angels nor principalities nor powers , nor things present nor things to come , nor height nor depth , nor any other created thing , shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord “ ( Romans 8:38-39 , NKJV ).
