Need CMA Help!!!

 

Hello CMAer's, We need some help and unfortunately it is on a Sunday. The Jones Creek Trailriders are having a "Rock 'N' Roll Poker Run Sunday Aug 24th at Jones Creek OHV area, east of Vancouver. Carl had mentioned to them that we could help out sometime, and now they want to take us up on it. The President called and said they need several people for parking duty. We would need to be there about 6:30 AM and could be out of there by 10:00AM and head for Church. Please try to help, if at all possible. This a a good ministry opportunity and we want them to see that we are, here to serve. Please let us know ASAP if you can help so I can let them know.

TRR/CMA Prayer Request

Trinity Road Riders/CMA member Ted Hall's mom has just been diagnosed with a large lump on her Pancreas and has been admitted to the hospital. We are requesting prayer over the doctors and their hands in taking care of this and if surgery is to happen. Ted has told me that she may just have days left but this may have been speculation on his part. Not sure if he heard this from the doctors.

I hope to get an update Wednesday on her condition. Ted knows that we will all be praying for his mom and the whole family. As far as I am aware she has been a believer for many years.

Thanks for all your prayers and God Bless

Iron mountain road, in Custer State Park

Friends,

Ok, here is one shot of a section of windy road in SD.

Note from Tim

Well we are back from Sturgis, Indescribable was the whole week!! We drove
as quick as possible, but aver nearly 20 hours we decided at Pasco that it
was unsafe to push on and pulled over and took what ended up to be a two
hour cat nap! I dropped Todd off and raced home and unloaded my bike and
rode back to see Jerry Mataya. Unfortunately he passed from this life just
30 minutes before I got to his house. Praise God he fought a good fight and
proved the enemy defeated! Jerry is now in Heaven where there is not
pot-holes, no cars to cut in front of him and endless winding roads! When I
got to the house Pastor JD was there along with Linda, and there 3
daughters. I stayed as we all said our goodbyes, reveled in Jerry's love for
his family and his love for Harley Davidson Motorcycles. He Loved the Lord,
and just a short time ago Jerry told me that when he regained his health he
wanted to Join CMA and ride with us to win for Christ the unsaved in the
biker world.

I also found out that last week he climbed aboard Linda's Trike and with
another biker (Terry) they started off for Sturgis! Unfortunately the trike
broke down in the Dalles, so they turned back. (Jerry was really
disappointed that he didn't make it to the 68th bike week!

I didn't know him all that long but God put us together and I had grown to
admire him for his tenacity and Love for life! He was a great father,
husband and friend to many!

The family is planning a Memorial on Friday (around 4pm) at JD's Church. (
I will let you guys know, if you decide to come, I am sure the family will
find it comforting. (I plan on working even harder in winning Souls aboard
the HD Ultra I purchased from Jerry.

Please continue to pray for Comfort and peace for Jerry's family that are
grieving during this difficult time.

God's Speed,

Tim

2008 JCTRA Rock'n'Roll Poker Run, August 24th. Volunteers needed.

The Rock'n'Roll Poker Run will be held Sunday, August 24th, at the Jones Creek OHV area East of Vancouver, Washington. The event is put on by our club the Jones Creek Trail Riders Association (www.jctra.org) . JCTRA is an all volunteer, registered non-profit club and all profits from the event fund trail maintenance at Jones Creek. The event is a dirt bike and ATV poker run event with a large raffle following the poker run. We generally get 250+ riders at the event.

What we need is about a ten (10) people to mainly help riders find places to park and other duties around the staging area before the event. We are asking most volunteers to arrive by 6:30 AM on event day and be expected to stay until around 4:00 PM. Parking duty volunteers would need to arrive at 6:30 AM, but would be able to leave most likely before noon.

Volunteers will receive a special "Event Staff" tee shirt and we hope to feed everyone during the event.

Contact Carl and Sheila to sign up.

Teddy Bear Run " For the Unborn Child "

Teddy Bear Run " For the unborn Child" put on by the Amboy Nazarene Church Aug 3rd. This was a great fundraiser ( Outreach ) for the Pregnancy centers in the Vancouver, Camas, Woodland area. Teddy Bears were donated to give to expecting Mothers. The centers are there to support these girls and help the unborn child live. It was a good turn-out for the first year. This will be an annual event. 31 Bikes total. 14 Bikes came from CMA Oregon and a couple from Vancouver. They had a Band playing ( Good Music ) and hamburgers for sale to support their food Bank. This is a fast growing Church. 6 months ago when the Pastor came, there were 18 people. They now have 60! Praise God! If you live in the Amboy Area, go out and pay them a visit. They are very friendly and the Pastor and his wife both ride Bikes. Thank you Amboy Nazarene for serving!
Blessings
