FROM THE CEO
By JOHN Ogden Sr
MY heart is full . I am thankful for the heart of our members who took part in investing into ministry worldwide . This year β s Run for the Son total , $ 6,129,764.56 , was the largest amount raised in the history of CMA . This means that $ 3.68 million was invested into the persecuted church , providing Christian education and supplies , equipping pastors with transportation to increase their ministry effectiveness , and translating media into native languages so that everyone can have the opportunity to hear Jesus speak their heart language . It also means that $ 2.45 million was invested into reaching motorcyclists around the world β providing ministry supplies , training , discipling , and connecting to a world that is looking for truth .
I love hearing the testimonies our members and ministry partners share as they go out , equipped with God β s truth and share the Light of the world with those God has placed in their paths . While the news proclaims everything that is going wrong in the world , we also know that God is working in the hearts and minds of men , compelling them to come into the light and accept the truth of His love . John 1:4-5 ( NLT ) states , β The Word gave life to everything that was created , and his life brought light to everyone . The light shines in the darkness , and the darkness can never extinguish it .β We are the light shining in the darkness . We are united as an army , riding for the Son , focused on our calling , changing the world , one heart at a time . We will not give up , quit , or become exhausted . We will not be distracted , dismayed , or discouraged . We are the Christian Motorcyclists Association . We are ministers of the Gospel of Light . Our supplier is God Himself . The truth has been seared upon our hearts , and we stand firm in speaking the truth of the love of Christ to all God places in our paths .
Thank you for all you have done and are doing . This edition of the HeartBeat is dedicated to sharing some of the stories of what your investments have done around the world . May you be encouraged in your faith as you read these stories . You are a minister of the Gospel , no matter if you are shy or bold , quiet or loud . He has given you the tools you need to have an effect in the area He has planted you . He has given you the ability to speak to those who are desperate to hear God speak their heart language .
Be blessed , and continue riding for the Son ! CMA
