New Sunday Services

I guess we are getting up in the world.  We now have our Sunday Services video taped for the web.  Fred (InfoTechDesign.net) who does all our web design and website up-keep, has helped us with the recording and setting the video up on the web. Fred has done a great job with our audio and is now helping us with the video. We also plan on making available a CD/DVD of our sermons for those who can't get on the web.

As many of you already know, we are on Face Book, Twitter, and many other social networks. You will be able to see our weekly services on each of these sites as well as our web site. ( stlmm.org )
We are doing everything we can to get the Gospel out to the biking world. We are on ABATE of Greenville website and ABATE of South Carolina site as well.

We have had as many as 512 people download or listen to our weekly audio sermons.  We had 20 the first week and 58 the second week we put the video on the web. If you know bikers whom you want to minister to, let them know about our Audio and video sermons. Our prayer is that many may come to Christ through this media. We have seen some results from the audio already.

We have a new couple coming after listening to our audio sermons for many months. Not only are they coming regularly, but they have invited some other bikers to come as well. So far they have brought one visitor. We are praising God for the way he is working.

Google Search

We did a Google search for bike ministries and found out we hold 7 of the 10 spots on the first page in the search, which means a biker looking for spiritual help will see us first in the Greenville area listings.  What a blessing!

Hard Times

As everyone knows, it has been hard financially last year. We were 16% down on support as of September 2010. It seems that this year is off to a bad start, the worst January we have ever had financially.

What is interesting,  we are having more opportunities to witness and help disciple bikers than ever before. We have had more visitors in our services, led several to the Lord, and are disciplining several bikers that are growing in the Lord.

Last year we cut our budget down and only missed one rally. With the way it is going this year we will have to cut even more. Please pray with me to see what God would have me do. I believe that God is above all things, and He can bless us even through this economy.

Sickness

After the Greenville Toy Run, I got sick until just before Christmas.  Then, Christmas night both my wife and I came down bad with a cold that put us in bed for 3 days and on antibiotic for the next week after that. We are back to normal now.
