BEING VISIBLE pray this article finds all of you
I well ; I know it finds all of us blessed and highly favored . I have known for a very long time that being visible while we are having a CMA event is paramount to drawing the people who are not members of CMA into our event . The Lord has confirmed this to me several times recently at different state rallies . We were at one of our events , and all the motorcycles were visible from the street , and the members could also be seen from the street . I observed several motorcycles pull into the parking lot while I was preaching ; they were met by some members and stayed for the service .
During the invitation , these visitors came up for prayer . These visitors told us they didn β t come to the rally because they were invited or looking for something to do . They told us they saw all the motorcycles and were curious about what these bikers were doing . We explained to them why we were there and all about CMA . The visitors were impressed with the membership , stated that they felt the Holy Spirit moving , and asked for information on how to join CMA . I know I have been guilty about wanting to be comfortable while attending an event .
Most people will only walk into a building to see what is happening if motorcycles are outside . Our goal is to draw people to Jesus , meaning we have to be visible to the people we are trying to reach . I am not saying we must always stand outside in the hot sun . A good solution is to have an area , possibly in the Goodies Store , which is usually in the air conditioning , to get out of the heat , take a break , and visit with friends . I know that if there is a friendly face and a wave as I pull into a parking lot , I am much more likely to park my motorcycle and discover what is happening . As members of CMA , all of you are some of the best that I have ever seen in terms of making people feel welcome ! Thank you for all that you do for the Kingdom of Christ ! CMA
