This Has Been A Great Year

God has blessed us with many opportunities to witness this year. We have planted thousands of seeds at the rallies we attend as well as at the local runs here in Greenville. We have discipled 4 more new bikers for Christ just in the last 4 months. God has led these bikers to us to teach them to grow in Christ and, in time, to lead them into a local church. We are excited to see how God is using us to get His word out and help those who are saved to grow in His grace.

Toy Runs 

November starts the Christmas Toy Runs. We will be doing 7 of them this year from Asheville, NC to Laurens, SC. The Toy Runs give us opportunities to meet new bikers and witness to the ones we know. We also use this as an opportunity to invite bikers to our Christmas Fellowship in December. This is a time to get to know them and witness at the same time. Please make this a matter of prayer from now until Christmas.

Future Place

I found a place to stay for March Bike Week and possibly in the future for Bike Week and Biketoberfest. After talking with the owners I found out they are saved and wanted to use their house for the Lord. After the owners found out what I do, they said they would pray about lowering the price for me. I have not heard anything as of yet. Please pray that God will open the door for this place. Their normal price for Bike Week is $1,200, which is above our budget. Their normal (non-Bike Week) week is $600.  I can only get it if the price comes down to what we can afford. That is between God and the owners. Pray that God's will be done, and that I will know which way to go with this or another place

  Biketoberfest Rally

Well, first of all, the crowds were down this year more than ever before in Daytona Beach, FL. I did not think we would have many opportunities to witness or get out the tracts and Bibles. To my surprise, people came by and ended up taking half of what I normally take down. I got to witness to 6 bikers. I also met with Marco, whom I led to Christ 2 years ago in Daytona. He is growing and going to a local church back in California where he lives. I am praising God for how He worked that week. I planted many seeds and look forward to possible salvation decisions.

Christmas Letter

We will be sending out our Christmas letter in the next couple of weeks. The letter raises monies needed for this time of the year as we get ready for the rallies coming up in the spring of 2014. Pray that we will raise the funds needed from this letter.
