The feedback from all our Chapter members was positive and we are still celebrating God's goodness that was bestowed upon us that day. We counted approx. 112 that heard a message, 28 who received personal prayer, and 3 that received Jesus as Lord and Savoir for the first time!

On Sept 15th, 2012 we were invited to the home of a new biking friend, Helen. We enjoyed a great BBQ together with Helen and her friends and family. After the bonfire was started President Bruce played beautiful music and lead us in a great time of worship. A big thank you to Helen and family.
Helen is looking forward to getting her own motorcycle. So for right now she is doing her "riding" on the back of another bike to get ahead start on her time of "riding with the pac" before joining CLR.

Many thanks to the CMA. For there wonderful support
About. 200-250 joined in for a wonderful breakfast, testimonies and a short message from President Bruce. The fruits: one salvation, a re-dedication and prayers for the needs of people. Following was a time of communion and sharing the emblems with each other.
Once again this year CLR participated in helping out with the Alzheimer poker derby. This is about the 11the year that we have been involved. This year it was held in the downtown location closing off 9th street just south of City Hall.
This year there has been an increase in participants even though rain was threatened for the region. We did have a few riders running through localized rain showers and the site of the games received a good downpour just prior to the games starting. No harm done. From this short blurb, I will let the pictures following tell the story. See you all next year.
Cycle Boyz Poker Derby, Cystic Fibrosis Ride for the Breath of Life, Cavalier Ride North Dakota, Bondslave MC Victory Rally & Races, BAD Rally(bikers against diabetes), Port Dover Friday the 13th, Sturgis, Teen Challenge Ride for Eternity This has been an exceptional year for motorcycling in the region. The Lord has protected all of the riders and blessed their efforts in this ministry.
Adventures of our Sunday afternoon rides:
Our ride to Neepawa on August 5th turned out to be a great adventure. As we left Neepawa one rider lost a bundle of cash from his pocket. A few others stopped to help him and they were able to reclaim all of the $500. that had blown away. Our normal ride is to head out of Brandon and ride for approximately one hour for ice cream and then return to Brandon and see who would like to go out for supper as a group. On this occasion the consensus was to head from Neepawa to Lee’s restaurant in Rivers. We arrived in Rivers only to find the restaurant CLOSED. After a long discussion a restaurant in Brandon was picked. Again on arriving at the chosen restaurant it was CLOSED. After a shorter discussion another restaurant in Brandon was picked, only to find out on arriving that there was NO ROOM for us. One more restaurant was chosen and this time we were successful. We left BP in Brandon after finishing our meal at 8:40. Our next Sunday ride was to Virden and then on to Rivers. This time we phoned ahead and 21 of us enjoyed a meal together before returning back to Brandon.
On Saturday, May 26th The Christian Light Riders made one of their visits to the Brandon Correctional Centre. In the past we have made an annual visit on the 3rd Saturday in September, this year we have been blessed with the privilege of having a visit in Spring and Fall. On a weekend full of rain and cold weather God answered our prayers and we remained dry. Jesus opened doors and hearts that afternoon as once again He used men and women to share God’s Love and plan of salvation. In total four men gave their heart to Jesus that afternoon, three recommitted to the Lord and 23 men and women received personal prayer.
On Thursday, May 31st Brandon Correctional Centre hosted a Volunteer appreciation supper. Our President Bruce Ewanyshyn was invited but regretfully was unable to attend, Secretary Grace Loewen attended on behalf of the Christian Light Riders. The photo shows Grace receiving a plague from Chaplain Bernie Mullins in recognition of our annual visits to the centre.
Pastor Mike has always been supportive of having the bikes in the church as well. Lot's of children like to look at the bikes and some of the Moms ask to have pictures taken on the bikes.
