Banquet Coming

We are still planning the banquet for this year. Right now we are looking into June 14 as a possible date, but that may change. It is a Saturday, and if everything goes right the banquet will be a picnic around lunch time with many bikes there. Please make this a matter of prayer about the date and that we will have a full attendance.

If you would like to help support the banquet, we raise $300.00 for each table to help pay for expenditures. What we don't use goes into the fund that the banquet is trying to raise.

*********************************************************
Rallies Coming Up

We praise God for the good response of support and prayers for our last rally.  In addition, many of you wanted to know about each rally as it comes up so you can pray and help support the rally.

The next rally is the Cherokee Rally.  At $243.00 it is one of our lowest cost rallies. The dates are May 2-4. Please pray that we will seize the opportunities to witness.

Daytona Beach Rally

Praise God, He opened the windows of heaven and poured out the blessings to Fatboy and me. We raised enough money to pay for Fatboy to go and most of the money for me (Glenn) and the hotel. We only lack $300.00 to pay for the rest.

Our ride down was great, the weather was as good as it gets, and we made good time.  Fatboy was just a little sore from the ride down. What a week we had. We both had many opportunities to witness. The first day we left at 6:00 am with it raining, and it rained off and on till 1:00 pm.  But during that time several unsaved bikers showed up to talk with us which gave us time to witness. After 1:00 pm the sun came out, and we set up our Bibles and study books and spent the rest of the day talking to those who stopped to see what we were all about. The rest of the week the weather was great, and we ended up witnessing to many others. We planted many seeds that week and look forward to seeing how God will work.

We ended up leaving a day earlier because Fatboy does not do well in the rain, and the forecast for Sunday was rain most of the way home. During his lifetime Fatboy has been in several bad accidents, and when it rains it is a very bad day for him physically.

Bojomo Run

The Bob Jones University Bible Conference was March 23-29. On the 27th, they had the BoJoMo bike run to raise money for the conference. About 15 bikers showed up, and we had a good time talking about our ministry. We made some good contacts for the future. We had a safe ride and God blessed Fatboy and me as we attended the run.

**********************************************************
Pain Run

My bike broke down that morning, so I attended the beginning part of the run, while Fatboy and Bubbles attended the whole run. I got to speak to several bikers about attending our services and Fatboy and Bubbles had opportunities to witness on this run.

Financial Report

The Board of Directors voted on a new budget for this year and increased our budget by $10,000. Our total budget is now $70,000 a year. We have not had an increase for many years, and we lived within our budget. However, we have had an increase of hotel costs and cost of living which has not been addressed for many years. By God's grace we look to Him to supply the needed funds. God has been faithful these many years as we do our part to what He has called us to do.

$17,649.00 - Budget To Date (March 2014)
$11,730.87 - Giving To Date  (March 2014)

$4,288.37 - Monthly Giving (March)
