Smoke and Spoke, Father's day June 17, 2012


The long awaited day had arrived for our group to head to my spiritual parents church – Yorkton Faith Ministries located in Yorkton SK. I was pumped up in the Spirit after spending a week at the International House of Prayer in Kansas City and was looking forward to releasing some Kingdom words to God’s people in SK. The day was cool and rain was in the air but my heart was warmed by the fact that there was a portion of the Christian Light Riders to accompany me on this journey. 
                                                                                  
 We arrived in Yorkton in the pouring rain but were quickly warmed by the welcoming we received. After a sweet time of worship, Pastor Kevin Bundus (my spiritual dad) turned his pulpit over to me and what an honor and privilege that was. I have been in their church many times and have grown fond of the congregation so to be able to share my heart with these brothers and sisters in Christ was an experience like no other. There is something so very special about preaching in a house fathered by the man and woman who led me to Christ five years ago. 
 
Much to my brother Jimmy’s delight I kept the message to one hour and after some altar prayer we were treated to a bountiful BBQ and wonderful fellowship. Pastor Kevin and Pastor Pat Bundus spared no expense treating the Christian Light Riders like royalty. They also blessed us with a significant donation to the Run For The Son annual fundraiser. I owe much to Kevin and Pat for it was because of their love for Jesus and fulfilling His Words that I am where I am today. A big thank you to Kevin and Pat and the members of the congregation at Yorkton Faith Ministries for your love and hospitality.


That’s Pat and Kevin to my left in our group photograph. Just for the record, Kevin rides a motorcycle too.
Our ride home was wet and cold but our hearts were warm after experiencing the love of Jesus through His people, His Word and the fellowship of wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ.
Blessings and love in Christ;
President Bruce

Brandon Correctional May 2012 visit

 
 
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 God̢۪s 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.
