TESTIMONIES

heavy on me, even as a sixth grader. You need Jesus in you to be able to share Jesus with others. The impact of this responsibility encouraged me to dig deep in God’ s Word on a daily basis. I needed to hide His Words in my heart so that I could authentically share Jesus with bikers.”
ORA:β€œ Growing up going to Thunder Beach and praying withβ€œ scary bikers” helped me to be able to minister to theβ€œ non-typical” people that some others may shy away from. Today as a college student, I am not afraid to go up to theβ€œ scary” people to see how I can minister to them.”
SHAWNA:β€œ What is your favorite bike to ride on?”
ARNIE:β€œ I like riding adventure bikes in the woods. I also like when we bring my dirt bike, and I get to ride my bike in the woods too. I really like adventure bikes!”
LILY:β€œ I like to ride on the Goldwing. It has a comfy back seat and a radio so we can listen to music when we ride.”
SHAWNA:β€œ How can CMA better engage families?”
SPIRIT:β€œ Don’ t look down on the kids just because they are little; they are capable of ministering. Childlike faith is beneficial and can sometimes elicit a better response from big, scary bikers. Don’ t limit their energy; rather engage it.”
ORA:β€œ Sometimes younger kids may not have a role to do at meetings or events, but it is the younger kids that are going to attract younger families. Make an effort to find something for them to do. Teach them how to fold rag tracts, how to bless a bike. They could set up an info booth about CMA at meetings to share the ministry with people. Help them to feel valued.”
All of my children have been loved and discipled by CMA members; in turn, my children are actively sharing their faith with the world one heart at a time. Thank you, CMA. CMA
