CMA NEWS

WE

are pleased to introduce your new National Evangelist for the Northeast Region, Rick and Mary Burkey from Washington, West Virginia.
Rick and Mary have served in almost every CMA role over their long history in the ministry. From chapter president, road captain, secretary, treasurer, and Area Reps from 2010 to 2014, and as State Coordinator from 2014 to 2025, these two individuals possess a depth of experience that will be a great blessing to the Northeast Region. They even filled in as CMA Goodie Reps for a time! They are both excellent team
builders and event planners, but most importantly, they have a passion for Christ and for serving the motorcyclists of our nation. This passion is evident in everything they do. Here is what Rick and Mary had to say when recently asked about the ministry of CMA and their opportunity to serve as CMA National Evangelists:
β€œ We love CMA and are blessed that it is the ministry that God has called us to. From the beginning of our marriage, we have committed to serving through CMA as a couple and have seen God use CMA to strengthen our relationship and bless us beyond measure. Over
the years, we have had the privilege of meeting people from all walks of life from all over the country, many of whom have not only become friends, but family, all because of CMA. CMA isn’ t just a ministry we are a part of, it’ s our way of life, and we are thankful to be able to serve in whatever way the Lord asks.”
Please find Rick and Mary at this year’ s Changing of the Colors Rally, introduce yourself, and welcome them to the National Evangelist Team. We believe God for great things to continue in the Northeast through their leadership. CMA
