Christian Light Riders

Prison Visit to Brandon BCC Sept. 17th

2011-11-05T16:44:00.002-05:00

On September 17th, a good portion of the Christian Light Riders and our faithful friends met at my home to prepare ourselves for an extraordinary afternoon of prison ministry. We knew in our hearts it would be extraordinary because much prayer had gone up to heaven and we knew Jesus was interceding on our behalf before our Father. Still it is our responsibility as His children and His warriors to spiritually prepare; to get our hearts right before God and with man so that we may be effective vessels for His glory. We did this through a time of worship and prayer. As much as David was a mighty warrior, he was also a passionate worshipper of the Almighty and I have no doubt that before going into battle he would pray and worship. I felt led to encourage my brothers and sisters to do the same. Having said this we take no credit for what happened that afternoon. We know that many faithful from several churches have been ploughing the ground at the Brandon Correctional Center. We are so thankful for all these different ministries and I know the harvest that the Lord reaped that day was a culmination of the efforts of many saints. The worship and prayer helped to soften our hearts so that we could reach out in love and the prayer helped strengthen our spirit and sharpen our sword.

Many prayers were answered that afternoon. Man's forecast was for rain. We were outside in the courtyard and knew if it rained it would have a detrimental effect upon our ministry time. We prayed and commanded that there be no rain. The Lord moved on our behalf and the rain held off until shortly after the ministry time was over - praise the Lord. We felt spiritually an openness from the inmates to a degree we have not felt before and this was a direct answer to prayer. In total eight men gave their heart to Jesus that afternoon, five recommitted to the Lord and 49 men and women received personal prayer with the laying on of hands.

Jesus opened doors and hearts that afternoon the likes we have not encountered before in this chapter. Once again He used men and women who may feel ordinary as far as ministerial achievements go; however I will state that not one brother or sister in the Christian Light Riders or our friends is ordinary. They have been wonderfully and fearfully created in God's image and there is nothing ordinary about that. As I looked around that afternoon and saw every one of them taking an active role praying and speaking with the inmates, my heart was so full of joy it goes beyond mere words. The Lord only asks that we come with willing and open hearts and in love, the rest He looks after through His power and grace and mercy. Love covers over a multitude of sins. Yes our God is an amazingly extraordinary God so it only stands to reason that His daughters and sons that make up the Christian Light Riders and friends are extraordinary women and men of God. I salute you all.

Heartfelt thanks to the Superintendent of the Brandon Correctional Center and Chaplain Dave Maynard. Chaplain Dave is a faithful servant of God and through his obedience to Jesus pushed ahead and helped to make that afternoon possible.

The greatest praises and thanks goes to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who is mighty in power and uses the weak to lead the strong. Thank you my Lord; my heart is forever yours. All honor and glory to you Jesus forever and ever amen.

Souris Personal Care HOme Visit July 17, 2011

2011-07-19T18:56:00.000-05:00

On Sunday July 17, 2011 the Christian Light Riders had the opportunity to visit with the residents and staff at Souris Personal Care Home. 11 participants rode out on 7 bikes and one car. We arrived at the Care Home at 3:00 PM with the temputure 31 degrees and the humidex 36. Much too hot for many of the residents of the Care Home. They were sitting inside the Sun Room and had a pretty good view of the bikes parked out front.

The Activity Director, Holly, asked us to bring one of the bikes inside. Hank took his bike in and the residents had the opportunity to get their picture taken on the bike. We were able to share stories with the residents and hear what bikes some of the residents had ridden in their past. After having some ice tea and cookies Grace played a few hymns on the piano and the bikers, residents, and staff joined in singing along. Helen read Psalm 23 and Hank ended that segment with a prayer.

Holly also offered a prayer for the Christian Light Riders and the ministry we are involved in. Some of the residents came outside to have a closer look at the other bikes and bid us farewell at 4:30 pm, before going back in to have their supper. We then rode on to Rivers to Lee's Restaurant for a wonderful supper of our own. It was then back to Brandon with a stop at Twister's for some ice cream before saying good bye and heading for home.

Sturgis of the North Rally (Salmon Arm, BC) & The Great Canadian Bike Rally (Merritt, BC)

2011-07-19T18:13:00.000-05:00

Two rallies in one week; almost 4000 kms of riding in one week; so many prayers answered in one week; a meeting with an NHL Stanley Cup champion on the journey during the week; blessings and uncommon favor with God and man during the week; many new friendships made during one week; many current friendships enriched within the week; spiritual growth in yours truly in one week; learning to go without a shower for 4 days during this week priceless, and most of all an amazing time with an amazing God and Creator of this beautiful yet fallen and hurting world.

Yes the latter of these was not His design yet it is something that I experienced in a whole new intensity while riding and walking the streets of Salmon Arm, British Columbia. I will not dwell on this aspect of our destination but I will say it gave me a whole new sense of why Jesus encouraged others to go out to all the world and make disciples of men. This holds true especially in the biker world where so many are attracted to this lifestyle because they are searching for their identity, strength, purpose...something to fill up that emptiness that at times is overwhelming. I would know because that was me before I found Jesus Christ. I was a biker before I became a Believer. The feeling of power and the image created by riding a two wheeled beast invokes temporary feelings of strength and virility, being invincible at times as the adrenalin surges through your body after you take that corner a little too fast yet survive unscathed; after you blast off at a green light, or roar out of a series of twisties while keeping the rubber side down and the pegs grinding.

Through photos and videos, motorcycle manufacturers entice men and women to grab hold of the theory of leaving cares behind, hitting the open road, feeling the freedom of having a powerful engine under you with the wind and sun on your face, seeing "nature's" beauty up close and personal while you embrace the journey rather than focus on the destination...images of strong men and sexy women mounted upon these iron horses ready for adventure, daring and beautiful, living life to the fullest (isn't it funny that these ads never depict the plain looking people or the overweight ones as if buying this bike will turn you into a hunk or a supermodel). There is always the appeal of a faster bike you could buy, a more radical ride that could set you apart from the motorcycling crowd, a bike more customized which fits better with your personality, louder pipes, bigger engines, sleeker frames and lines, more eye candy chrome and expressive air brushed designs, accessories for your ride and for your body so that the outward image says look at how different I am; look at how good I can look. There is no one like me ... yet in the fleshly sense everyone who is traveling this road is exactly like you! Your ride is unique like every other customized ride. However God created us in His own image and in doing so each one of us displays a uniqueness of God's character that He etched in each individual spirit, mind, soul and body. Bikers chase after the image that will set them apart and yet God our Father birthed that in each of us from the time we were knitted together in our mother's womb. We have a inner drive that urges us to live life to the full but the abundant life can not be found riding a motorcycle or playing biker no matter how good it may sound and look. Pursuing life in this manner is as fleeting as the seasons of this earth. However the abundant life, permanent and steadfast can be found in and through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

On the third morning of the event, I gathered fellow CMA brothers and sisters to come together and stand side by side on a church parking lot in Salmon Arm to pray for strength, covering and direction from the Lord. My heart broke as I led out in prayer overwhelmed by the sense of hurting and loss within the multitudes that had gathered for this rally. I wept openly before brothers and sisters I had just met the day before because of the desolation and isolation I was picking up in my spirit amongst the women and men gathering in this town. In prayer and petition we cried out to God to move in this place and touch hearts. I know the Lord heard and acted on our prayers. We covered in prayer our CMA brother Wayne who sacrificed all five days to volunteer within the event grounds and who was seeing first hand the human carnage that comes from hurting and broken lives. Wayne who was spat upon by an intoxicated individual on only the second night of the event. Thank you Wayne for your dedication to the Lord and His children, lost and found.

Perhaps Wayne was like I had been before I was Born Again; attracted to the lure of strong, fast, powerful machines that are advertised to go hand in hand with a carefree lifestyle and beautiful women. Or perhaps it was a hope of belonging to a "motorcycling family" who would accept you for who you are. So many of us came from dysfunctional families. Or perhaps it was something totally different that got Wayne into motorcycles many years ago. However I do know that he has submitted himself to selflessly doing the Lord's work and using what may have once been all carnal as a strong tool for evangelism. Wayne is the road captain of a CMA chapter in BC.

Each one of us has a unique story of how we arrived at this point in our ministry. I got into motorcycling at age 20 while attending the University of Winnipeg. This was 1986 (yup I look younger than I am for "He satisfies my desires with good things so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's - Psalm 103:5). There was the practical appeal that students could park motorcycles for free along the west side of the university, whereas all other vehicles required metered parking. That was not the draw for me although it did help me to convince my parents to allow me to buy one and remain living under their roof LOL. A new friend had a Yamaha FZ 750 and he took me out to Grand Beach with it one weekend. After nearly losing me off the back and the side a few times and scraping the foot pegs with me on it, I was hooked. I was an adrenalin junkie and here was a fix. Yet I liked the laid back look of cruisers with rich paint and lots of chrome. Cruisers were sexy bikes and I heard that women really liked motorcycles and some thought guys who rode them were cool. So I got my licence and bought my first ride - a 1984 Yamaha Virago 750. Sure my buddy blew me away at every stop light on his FZ but I looked really cool riding laid back with all that chrome. Hey girls look at me I thought as I rode around. Perhaps this will get me a girlfriend who will love and adore me. Hmmm...well I had lots of fun, dated several girls, married a woman who liked bikes, divorced the same woman who liked bikes (not even a Harley Davidson motorcycle, factory ordered in 2001 could save our marriage), and I was left disappointed, empty, and broken after many miles, many rides, and many gatherings with bikers. Motorcycling could not bring forth a sense of purpose, contentment, fulfillment, and love and nor could a solid career in policing for that matter. Neither can being married to a hot looking woman or having a lot of money to buy new bikes, snowmobiles, quads and so forth. These are all biker myths. Yes I have travelled all these roads and all of them have led to the same empty lonely place. Why? Because it is not what we do and own that brings us contentment and satisfaction, it is what we are on the inside.

Is it well with your soul? Our soul can not become well until we find a relationship with Our Creator for He and He alone can satisfy. Only Jesus can bring forth that spring of living water to flow from within you that refreshes and satisfies and renews you daily. At the end of each motorcycle rally, those who have not yet found Jesus leave feeling disappointed, still broken, and still empty. Sure some may have found in the weekend what their flesh was longing for. Perhaps the pain was numbed by alcohol and drugs and laughter for a time. Perhaps they found what they may refer to as love. The devil is a great deceiver and the father of all lies and in a little while those who chose to be carnal will be as lost and empty as they were before the rally began. Tragically they may be even worse off nursing more bruising on their already hurting and torn heart. Then there are the long term repercussions resulting from ungodly spiritual ties that may have been formed through committing ungodly acts. God's Word says sin is pleasurable but only for a season and it leads to death.

Before I found Jesus in 2007 I was dying inside. Perhaps my heart was breaking so much this past Friday because my spirit realized that after the event is over for those who are hurting and have not found Jesus, they may leave even more broken and hurting as a result of the sins of the flesh they indulged in for days. Perhaps they will become even more lonely and desperate than they were prior to the rally. Like myself prior to being Born Again, they are dying inside. With each unrepentant sinful act the chasm between life and death, heaven and hell, Abba Father and Satan becomes wider and wider but there is such great hope for them through the bridge called Jesus. However if they are not told, they will not know. Did I fulfill the purpose the Lord laid out for me this past week? It feels like I did not but perhaps there will be some unseen fruit which comes forth from my time there. I'm sure we all feel we could do more but again it is not about us, it is about Him.

For those who did not receive the Lord at these rallies, some will take consolation in the knowledge that the Sturgis SD motorcycle rally is less than a month away. They may find hope in the thought that they will find what they are searching for at the next rally and this may help carry them along. However holding on to a hope based upon what worldly circumstances could bring you is no hope at all. No party will ever be big enough, no trophy ever rewarding enough, no drug ever a high for long enough, no bike ever fast enough, no sexual encounter ever satisfying enough. In the end they are always wondering what exactly am I looking for and hoping for. As Believers we find the desires He has hidden deep in our heart and the hope for all these promises of God to be fulfilled in our life through His Word and relationship with Him. From His promises we gain strength; "For those who hope in the Lord He will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint - Isaiah 40:31. This is the Lord speaking to our spirit. He reminded me of this hope and His faithfulness in my life as a group of us rode from Salmon Arm to Merritt on Thursday. We witnessed two eagles flying directly above our motorcycles. I do not know if they were male and female but my Father is faithful to fulfill His promises to His children and this was a personal reminder to me His son for my future.

Like so many that left the rallies on the Monday, in my past I never found what I was looking for at any event but perhaps if I would have come into contact with a CMA member or a Bondslave, or another biker evangelist, I would have found my everything there. I would have found Jesus Christ and my heart would have been changed and I would have heard of how the Bible is God's Word in print which is alive and speaks to me through all my situations and brings healing and health to all my body (Proverbs 4:22). His Word brings healing to every broken heart and we are to carry His Words in our heart to bring forth life to others. It is from this relationship with Jesus and our Father and His Word that all the other promises of God He has laid on our heart are fulfilled. Once again I wonder did I fulfill all He had for me to do at the rallies? Again I am reminded it is not about me.

When I began writing this "update" for our Christian light Riders blog, I thought I would write about how amazing and faithful God had been during every day of our seven day trip. How He had encouraged us to speak to the clouds of an ugly storm front moving in on our first night of camp in Brooks, AB and how during the prayer the spoken words of His saints changed the direction of the wind and the storm never came although it was on every side of us so it seemed. This is a testimony of believing in words spoken in faith and not by the sight of circumstances surrounding us.

I thought I'd write about an encounter with a humble five time Stanley Cup champion Richard Chartraw who owned a camp ground that we just happened to stay at. A player who was part of my all time favorite late 70's Montreal Canadiennes teams. A man who took the time to speak with me and to go get his 1976 Stanley Cup champion ring, and insist on placing it on my finger while he put his arm around me for photos. A very personable man for whose salvation I am now praying for. One championship was won while he played with the Edmonton Oilers.

I thought I'd focus on telling you of the many blessings and uncommon favor God bestowed upon Leo and I during the rally like having the owner/organizer of the entire rally come up to us within 5 minutes of us arriving at the event. How he introduced himself to us and listened to our suggestions for next year's rally and then gave us two arm bands good for one days admission to the event valued at $120.00 each.

I thought I'd share and make this update about the opportunities the Lord provided as the members of CMA separated and walked around downtown Salmon Arm praying for individuals one on one and the man I was blessed and honored to invite the Holy Spirit to come dwell within richly.

I thought it would be more about sharing with you the new friendships I have been blessed with such as getting to know Dan and Monica from Nelson BC who have been members of CMA for years. They have amazing hearts for God and I was blessed by watching them interact as a couple who love and cherish, honor and respect each other. I thought I might share more about newly weds Owen and Cheryl who have an amazing story of how God has brought them together in their middle years and how they honored God through their courtship and are receiving the fruit from abiding in His Word. Then there were my friends from Manitoba, Scott and Alice whom I enjoyed getting to know better even though they are part of our CMA chapter. They are ever steady and solid on His Word and are an encouragement to myself and others around them. There is the host pastor to thank; Ken of Five Corners Pentecostal church who opened the grounds of his church for us to pitch our tents on and kept the doors open for washroom facilities and provided coffee each morning to those who needed an extra kick start.

I thank the Lord first and foremost for His mercy, grace, love and faithfulness and how real He showed Himself daily to me and others. How He answered the prayers that went up before I even went to the rallies and honored my desire not to see any nudity or sexual acts. I saw not a one despite receiving reports contrary to this. Jesus kept us all safe and all our bikes ran flawlessly. Now you may see a photo or two of yours truly on the ground under my Harley. Allow me to explain. Our group couldn't help but tease me and take photos after the discovery that a bolt had loosened on floor board of my Harley. After 10 years that was the first time I've taken out the Harley supplied tool kit. In it was contained the appropriate Allen key and I tightened up the bolt and away I went. This was to the delight of my brothers and sisters; the loosening off and the fixing of the floor board. Yes Lord thank you for injecting humor throughout our trip and it being light hearted and not costly LOL. It was my travelling companion Leo who noticed the loose floor board.

I will pause here after thanking the Lord and His servants to say a special thank you to my faithful travelling companion Leo. Without his willingness to go in the first place, I would not have made the journey on my own. For a guy who calls himself "an old fart', he was amazing. We were up early (6ish) each morning and to bed late. Each of our travelling days we logged over 900 kms and never once did Leo ever complain. We rode through heavy rains and heat, darkness and mist in the mountains. He was willing to go along with my suggestions for lodging and when he made a suggestion it was exactly what I had been thinking. He kept things neat and organized and was always willing to pray and participate in our morning devotionals. His spirit and physical resiliency amazed me and his positive attitude was an incredible blessing. This is a man I will travel with and camp with any time. Plus he doesn't snore which is imperative when you share the same tent LOL. Actually as our Brandon riders found out at the Bondslave Victory rally a couple of weekends prior, even snoring from a tent several over can pose a challenge to ones' beauty sleep. Thank you Leo for being an amazing riding companion, friend, and prayer partner.

This update began quite differently than I thought it would. I do want to end with some positive thoughts regarding the sport of motorcycling and the people who make it a part of their lives. Motorcyclists are different, we really are. Where some choose the comfort and safety of an enclosed vehicle, bikers choose to experience the open road with no restrictions and a healthy dose of power under their seat through their right hand. I got involved in motorcycling as a 20 year old who had no relationship with God. I used it to search for "love" in the wrong places and it helped bolster an already arrogant and prideful man. It was not the source of my arrogance, selfishness and pride. Other factors such as a police career also heightened that pride and actually alienated me from the rest of society. As bikers we too can feel alienated from society as people complain about our noisy bikes, tough looking leather outerwear, or slightly smelly bodies (yup we went 4 days without a shower while at the rally). However all the things that we do, do not make the man or woman. I was prideful, arrogant, and selfish and didn't like people not because I rode a motorcycle or was a cop. It was because inside I was lost and hurting and had low self esteem. I didn't know who I was and I tried to become a man by being a cop, then a husband, then a biker.

When I minister in bikers circles and people hear I'm a cop I tell them no I'm a brother in Christ. Policing is what I do not who I am. Motorcycling is what I do it is not who I am. My journey with Jesus has not been a long one; saved 07/07/07 however it has been an amazing one and through it I am learning to become the man God has destined me to become. It means the daily laying down of fleshly wants and submitting to His plan for my life. In doing so I am becoming a better brother to the brothers and sisters the Lord places in my path. I have much flesh yet to overcome but the joy of the Lord is my strength and despite living on my own I am not lonely or in need of another person or motorcycle or solved crime case to bring me joy and contentment, peace and fulfillment. That has come from within knowing that my Father loves me and I can call Him and His son Jesus my friend. That I can call on them day or night and they will always be there for me. I went from having a life four years ago with no friends to having many wonderful friends and a church family who loves me. Jesus opened me up after giving me a new heart and has brought me to several wonderful ministries including CMA which provides an excellent avenue to take that motorcycle that was a source of pride in the past and use it to reach the lost, broken and hurting. With God's love within us, we can change this world one heart at a time.

President Bruce

On June 8th I had the pleasure of serving alongside some wonderful children and adults at the Brandon Royal Fair. The founder of the New Hope Ministry had recently broken her leg and appealed to the Christian Light Riders to provide workers to assist in operating pony rides for children from the ages of 1 year to approx 10 years of age. I was put in charge of a couple of ponies to lead them and a rider around a corral. For many of the children it was their first time on an animal and their expressions and those of their parents truly blessed me. A four hour shift flew by and my heart was truly warmed by the children, their parents and those young people that I had the pleasure of serving alongside. This is a Christian ministry and parents of the children were handed an information flyer afterwards explaining the ministry and services that are provided including special occassions such as birthday parties. It is another way of spreading the Good News of the Gospel to the Brandon community. It was also a wonderful opportunity to serve as a member of the Christian Light Riders. I was truly blessed coming in and going out. Thank you Jesus!

2011 Run for the Son

2011-06-13T16:52:00.001-05:00

May 29th 2011 was not the typical warm late may day. The temp hovered at about 7degrees with virtually no wind. The group met for breaky at Smities on the higway. We were joined there by our Area Coordinator James Rosso who had decided to come to Brandon by car. We had very little choices in highways to take to get to Shoal Lake. Many of the secondary highways were closed due to flooding.
We had been invited once again to the home church of our Chaplain Merl Isaakthe We are so blessed by this congregation. The speaker for the service was our very own biker/pastor Scott Allen, his Dauphin congregation hosted Manitoba area Seasons of Refreshing in early April.
The rest of the day was rather cool so the group did not go for an extended ride. After a delicious lunch we headed back to Brandon. At this time I want to recognize Helen Rankin for getting Gene out to our events. Gene is having a difficult time and would covet your prayers for healing. Here are a few pictures and there are many more on the photo server. Click on the spot on the left side of the screen and see them all.

This is most of the group in front of the church we attended for our Run For The Son

This is our group getting ready to head off to Shoal Lake. It's about 9:00 am and about 7 degrees.

Here is most of the group with Bruce's bike in the foreground.

On November the 27, CLR held it's annual Christmas Party at the South End Community Club. We had a great pot luck dinner with about 30 CLR members and guests. We appreciate the members from Winnipeg that came all the way to Brandon to join us.

One of the featured events was a crazy tossing game that generated $76 to the Christmas Cheer Campain. Here are some pictures. It seems the President elect Bruce got into the swing of things and had a team run off. The ideal was to throw toilet paper
rolls into the toilet seats.

Hank took some good pictures and they are in the Photo section just click on the link and it will take you to the photo library.
Here is another fun spot for you to go;

GOD aka The Original Pumpkin Man

2009-10-31T14:00:00.005-05:00

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin. God lifts you up, takes you in, and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up, touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff-- including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see. Happy Autumn!

Manitoba and Saskachewan Wind-up

2009-10-30T19:28:00.006-05:00

October 2 to the 4th found a group of about 56 CMA members from the two provinces celebrating together in Dauphin Manitoba for the riding season of 2009. The days were more or less cloudy with rain. That being said there were only a few local bikes in attendance as most came in cars. The agenda was packed with praise and worship times many very interesting speakers and camping in Scott's church. Yes that's right. See a picture that tells no lies!
The congregation from the New Life Centre treated us all like royalty. The facilities were excellent and the presentations were timely and interesting.
Th ice cream social was a hit as always with bikers and the food was plenty-full and very good.
Though the weather was not conducive to having bike games we were prepared, but with few bikes and rain we called it off late in the day and submitted a small description of creation of a blog similar to this one. For a good number of pictures of the attendees please click on "more photos" on the left side of this screen. Thanks to Hank for taking the pictures and sending them to me for posting.

CLR visits Brandon Correction Centre Sept 19

2009-09-25T09:55:00.005-05:00

Once Again the Christian Light Riders had the privilege to minister to the prisoners of the Brandon Correctional Centre.

This year was a great blessing for the Lord opened many doors and we were received with a tremendous openness. There were member of the CMA from various parts of Manitoba.

We were able to share with 119 inmates who came out to see the bikes in 9 separate groups of between 10 to 40 people, both men and women that came in fifteen minute intervals. God was very good to us as we were able to pray with 34 of them, 4 made new commitments to Christ and 3 re-dedications.

Those we came to minister to received prayer for strength, health, as well as encouragement and just over all needs for these precious people.

It was a great day in all, many thanks to the prison staff for their help and support.

Manitoba Chapters of CMA in Portage

2009-06-30T15:12:00.005-05:00

June 28th the combined CMA chapters in Manitoba met at Portage LaPrairie at the Highway Tabernacle for a joint service with the congregation. The CLR chapter departed Brandon at 8:30 with a brutal wind mainly from the north/west heading for Portage for the 10:30 service. We had 10 motorcycles of all makes with our chapter President riding a demo bike that looks like it will be going to a new home for the next 100,ooo km.
James Rosso did a fine job with his leading the service after the rousing praise and worship session. Following the service the congregation treated us with burgers, hot-dogs and drinks.
Then it was off to Neepawa MB for ice cream. The wind had picked up and this made us heading directly into a brutal wind contributing a lot of carbon from the higher fuel consumption of the motorcycles.
Once we headed back south again after Minnedosa, the wind was in our backs and this was a wonderful respite from fighting the wind. My bike seemed like I was on the couch watching the ground go by, it was so quite. Back in Brandon by 2:30pm enough time to catch a nap before supper. Life is good!

Run for the Son May 2009

2009-06-15T21:45:00.005-05:00

On Sunday May 31st at about 8:30am this crew was ready for the annual Run For the Son. This is the culmination of the fund raising for CMA Canada. This year as in the past we are heading to Oak Lake, MB.
One of the members of our chapter lives there and the his congregation has invited the CLR members to their church service.
As always they are treating us to lunch as well.
The day broke with a threat of rain and a temp of 9c with a wind from the north that was bitterly cold and sharp.
Shoal Lake is about 1.5 hours north/ west of Brandon. Note Gene on the far left has just been out of the hospital for a few weeks with a lower back operation. he and Helen are taking the quad to Shoal Lake.
After the service and lunch, we connected with another three bikes and headed to Riding Mountain and Clear Lake for coffee and ice cream. The day turned out to be sunny with the temp reaching a balmy 15c. Eventually we got back to Brandon for supper at the Chinese buffet.

Items of interest for November and December

2008-12-11T21:11:00.012-06:00

December
The only interesting thing so far was our annual get together for food and fun. Once again we gathered at Hank and Grace's home. This was our Christmas meeting for 2008. No we don't have an Imam instead of a chaplain this is just Ken playing the part.
After some games( no crash videos) this year and the group was still akin to herding cats when you try to get things organized. We had fun and no gas was burned.
Those that you can see below are Steve, Gene Helen and Judy. On the right is Bruce ,Jim and Craig. This was after the supper that was greatly enjoyed by all.
Merry Christmas to all from the members of CLR Brandon

November 2008

Not much to say about November, the only interesting thing that went on without the motorcycles was the election of the Executive for 2009. Not as interesting as the US and certainly not as goofy as the Canadian Liberals coronation, but and election of sorts.
The President : Grace
The Vice President : Merl
The Secretary : Susan
The Treasurer : Leo
The Road Captain : Ken
The Chaplain : Bruce

BCC visit Sept 20th 2008

2008-10-06T13:38:00.006-05:00

Once again CLR took the day to meet, greet and mingle with over 60 prisoners in the Brandon Correctional Centre. This has been an annual event for about 6 years. This year we missed members of the Winnipeg Chapter but those that came from as far away as Dauphin made the event a success for our chapter. I have noted that since attending at BCC, the interaction with inmates have been increasing. One on one prayers with individuals are increasing. All the tracs we have are scooped up and we trust that these are all seeds that will grow in the hearts of the men and women in this place. Here are pictures of the group that attended. The day was bright, but there was a cold wind blowing. The picture of the members at the gate is a bit funny because the gate was very hard to open and we did not want to get stuck in that compound.

Cruzin Dauphin 2008

2008-09-02T16:58:00.010-05:00

August 31st, the day was gray and cool. Seven motorcycles from the CLR including a guest rider and his partner headed to Scott Allen's church in Dauphin Manitoba. This was about a 2 hour trip north through Riding Mountain National Park. Scott was hosting a pancake breakfast for the community in support of Cruzin Dauphin. This was the first time for this church to participate in this way. Other than seeing a moose on the way, the ride was uneventful. President of CLR Grace presented Scott with his CMA Ministry Certificate of completion. Bruce and Hank gave testimonials of God's work in them. After a feed of pancakes members scooted over to the park to watch stock car races and car and motorbike tire burn-outs. It was a full day by the time we arrived in Brandon.

July 1st Happy Birthday Canada

2008-07-06T21:16:00.004-05:00

July 1st is the time to celebrate Canada's birthday. In Brandon CLR members celebrated by doing a special ride. We opted to go to Portage La Prairie and meet with the Winnipeg Chapter for lunch. We then went on to take Hwy. 16 west and headed off to Neepawa the next stop for fuel and Ice cream.
As we were heading north/west, the wind came up and it was blowing a lot of smoke from fires in Northern Saskatchewan. After leaving Neepawa, we went south towards Minnedosa and back to Brandon. Here are a few action shots of special people doing what they love to do. Top left Rodger, Top right Mike and Sharon, Bottom left Jim and Jeanie, Bottom right Leo, Denis and Steve and Pam.

CLR Brandon's Run for the Son May25, 2008

After breakfast 6 motorcycles and one car headed for Shoal Lake Mb to attend a member church and to complete our Run For The Son One hour and thirty min. later we arrived cold and wet but warmly received by the congregation.

BBQ at the Skating Oval Feb 23, 2008

2008-02-28T19:30:00.019-06:00

Over the week-end of Feb 23-24 Members of CLR organized a fund raiser for Run For The Son 2008. The ideal was to sell hot-dogs, smokies, coffee and other drinks to make some money for RFTS, have fun and enjoy doing things with each other, and present the members of CLR to public. We had great cooperation from the City of Brandon and the Discovery Center that manages this great Skating Oval. Sales of hot chocolate were brisk, we dished up over a hundred hot-dogs and smokies, all the members participated and those that did enjoyed doing that event. We did not achieve the budget that we thought, but it was a win-win-win for all parties. Praise God!
In the picture top left are Gene and Helen sampling the hot chocolate, then Glenda, Leo, Ken, Merl, and Jim the cook, all at the concession shack at the Oval, next is Jim the cookie.

30 % for Bibles to "Restricted Access" Countries through Open Doors
The Run for the Son is making a difference for the persecuted church by supplying it with much needed Bibles and study materials using the experience of Open Doors with Brother Andrew

30 % for Motorcycles for Native Pastors through Missionary Ventures
Through the expertise of Missionary Ventures, CMA's Run for the Son provides transportation for native Christian leaders to expand out into difficult areas to reach.

40 % to reach motorcyclists through the Christian Motorcyclists Association of Canada.
The annual Run for the son campaign equips members with the tools and training needed to spread the gospel message amongst the motorcycling community - going where the churches cannot go.

December Christmas Party

2007-12-02T16:30:00.000-06:00

The Christian Light Riders got together for the annual Christmas pot luck party at the home of Ken and Martha Martens. See this picture of Ken and Martha on the right with Jim Stremel in front of the TV.
Pot luck dinners are always a great celebration and the feature was roast turkey. After dinner when everybody was stuffed (like the turkey) we had a gift exchange. See the extra large earmuffs supplying comfort to Jeanie Stremel. These are Manitoba certified!

After, Leo Boivin gave a video presentation of what was called "Motorcycle Goofs" a compilation of a variety of motorcycle crashes that made you wonder if there are any brains in those bobbing heads on those two wheelers. Go figure.
So that brings us to the close of 2007.
Merry Christmas to all and especially to the members of Christian Motorcyclist Association. May God continue to Bless you and yours in 2008.

BCC visit Sept 22nd, 2007

2007-09-23T20:33:00.000-05:00

This is a small clip of the group of about 10 motorcycles entering the grounds at the Brandon Correctional Center on Saturday Sept 22nd. It was a great day to do outside ministry, an annual event for the CLR. We had representation from Falcon Lake, Winnipeg and Dauphin. This year we implemented a new format that seemed to create a bit more one-on-one interaction with the inmates. After the ministry was completed we were treated to a great dinner with the inmates and guards. Here is a picture of the group.

Divine Appointments.

On August 5 2007 after our morning service, a lady whom I have known for years came and asked if she could pray for me as I was going to Sturgis. As she was praying she began to pray that God would use my mouth and a fresh anointing of the Spirit upon my preaching. Her words were "fresh speech, new speech." I thanked her for her prayer.

As I rode towards Sturgis I was praying for divine appointments. I had the pleasure of praying for a number of people at gas stations and at Sturgis proper. So I was looking for divine appointments.

While looking at a leather jacket, I noticed above the till, " Jesus is Lord!" I asked if they were Christians and they said yes they were. We exchanged pleasantries and then asked what we did and were we were from I said I pastor a church in Dauphin Manitoba Canada. He mentioned he attended a church in Border Texas. AS we chatted, he stopped and said, " I believe I have a word, prophecy, for you." He then looked at me and said these words " A new anointing is coming, a new fresh language, new speech. Jeremiah chapter one. God is going to touch your lips and you are to preach with the power and the anointing and the finger of God. Like a new speech."

Needless to say I shared what happened two days earlier. We were really blessed. I was looking for divine appointments for others and God had one for me.

On Friday August 17th a dear friend of the CLR's was eulogised at the celebration of his life. Brian Hamilton had passed away on August 13th. Brian had been resident of the Brandon Regional Health center for long time. Ken Martin, a CLR charter member who worked at the hospital came alongside Brian over the last two years. He and Brian developed a close relationship that extended to Brian,s family and also the rest of the CLR members.
The relationship was such that Ken was able to communicate to Brian the spiritual side of man and how to be sure and really know where one would spend eternity. Ken assured Brian that there was a plan for his life that all of this was not just coincidence. Brian accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour and received the assurance and knowledge of where he would spend eternity. Brian's question for Ken, "what about my friends" was presented to those attending at Memories Chapel. How about you, are you sure? Do you really know?
