May 2023 , CMA Croatia was honored to host the first CMA
Europe Rally in Trogir , Croatia . 150 bikers from CMA Europe – Latvia , Spain , Finland , Luxembourg , Macedonia , Bulgaria , Germany , Sweden , Portugal , Netherlands , Italy , and Romania – as well as members from CMA USA attended .
God blessed the effort put in , and the conference was a blessing in every way , with the joining together of people from around the world who saw something new for them .
Quality time together , prayer , scenic ride-outs , encouraging sermons , interviews , and songs of praise were all part of the conference that encouraged us , brought us together , and bonded us even more in Jesus ' name . People who had never heard of CMA before were witnessed to and came to know Jesus ; staff members at the hotel facility asked CMA members for prayer , and were prayed for .
An added bonus was an increased interest in CMA Croatia , resulting in two new commitments for Jesus , five new full-color members , and two aspiring members .
It was wonderful to be together with people who raised their hands to every verse or note of Jesus ' name and all sang loudly together : " Holy , there is no one like You , Holy , there is no one like You .“
In September 2023 , leaders of CMA Croatia attended the School of Evangelism at CMA Head Office in Hatfield , Arkansas . It was a blessing like no other . The material , teachings , and being able to share at local rallies were something very different and special . We were shown how to use various tools of evangelism to spread the love of Jesus to bikers . It opened our eyes to new ways to spread the Gospel . This course re-ignited our spirit , and we returned to Croatia filled with new enthusiasm .
Some of the evangelism tools we were given have now been translated into Croatian and are now being used in our country . In this way , CMA Croatia members are also benefiting from our blessing of being at the SOE .
Even though we all come from different cultures , speak different languages , and often see things differently , it is wonderful to know that , no matter where we come from in the world , we are one family and are united as one in CMA . CMA Ivan Knezovich serves as President of CMA Croatia .
We serve a God who sees and loves without borders . He has built our CMA International family – 36 nations – to serve the bikers of the world that they may hear and know the love of God for them .
Please pray for :
• CMA Europe Rally being held in Germany this June – may this be a time of coming together for the entire CMA Europe Family where the members and leaders are equipped and encouraged in their relationship with Christ and to share the Gospel in their nations .
• Our leaders who are facing challenges in their nations ( financial , political , ministry ) – may they see and know the will of God for this time in their lives and follow Him as He leads them to where He wants them to go .
• CMA International members – in the Northern Hemisphere the riding season is gearing up once again . May our members feel the passion of the Holy Spirit and be prompted to step out of their comfort zones to GO OUT and share the love of God with those God places in their paths .
