Reports are coming in from the mission field  about the impact of Motorcycles for Missionaries around the world!!

Rick Perry, Botswana
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Cruzin for Christ and the Azusa Street Riders for their generous contribution toward the purchase of this Suzuki V-Strom 250. This motorcycle will be an incredible blessing to several of our pastors here in Botswana, enabling them to travel further and faster as they carry the Gospel to more communities. Your support is making a real difference in advancing the Kingdom of God. Orlando from Suzuki Botswana you have been a pleasure to work with on this project.

Now is the time to start planning your event for 2026! 

Even if you don’t have all the details mapped out, or know exactly what kind of event you are planning, it’s a great idea to at least nail down the dates of your event and get it posted to the website and both Facebook groups as close to the beginning of the year as possible.

Each year, there are events being posted just a few weeks or days before they begin, which makes it difficult for the membership to plan their year.

Last year, we asked all chapters to hold their annual meeting and elections in January, and then report the results of the elections as well as a current roster of chapter members to the National Board. This format helps the National Board to know who is in leadership at the chapter level, and who the current membership numbers are.

The January meeting is a great time to decide a date for your event!! 

The more notice people have to plan, the more likely they are to be able to attend.

***Note***
Before you decide your event date, make sure it doesn’t conflict with another event date that is already listed in the same regional area.

We were blessed to be able to set up an exhibit at the 2025 UPCI General Conference in St. Louis, MO. We had very good traffic to the booth, and made several strong contacts during the four days we had the exhibit.

We are thankful for the missionaries, who graciously took time to speak with us about the impact ASR is making globally through our Motorcycles for Missionaries giving!

Each time we are able to educate and inform the body of Apostolic believers about the goals and mission of ASR, we enable this ministry to have a greater impact across the world!

Reach out to your local district officials about possibly setting up an exhibit at your district conferences. It makes a difference!

 

During the Global Missions Service, the emphasis was placed on the term “Pentecost Every Day”.

Not just a catchy phrase, but Pentecost Every Day is a global vision for a sustainable annual harvest of over a million disciples from every nation and people group. It’s a call for the entire church to be united in purpose and empowered to share the gospel worldwide, with the goal of seeing a continuous, long-term spiritual growth.

Pentecost Every Day highlights a commitment to global evangelism and missions. It is a unified effort, mobilizing the entire church to participate in sharing the gospel.

I believe with all my heart, that Azusa Street Riders has come to the kingdom, for such a time as this. Each time I am around the membership of this ministry, I can feel the burden and the commitment to be active participants in the harvest of souls in this hour.

We are committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, not only in our own cities and towns, but in the neighboring cities and towns, in states across this great nation, and across the world by giving in Motorcycles for Missionaries!

WE WILL SEE PENTECOST EVERY DAY!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It has always been an unwritten rule to show up to a ride with your tank full. Many times, however, there’s usually a few riders in the group that show up with their tank empty, or even running on fumes.

We read in 1 Corinthians 9:24:
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

We aren’t simply in motorcycle ministry for the ride, but we are in a race, running for the prize of eternal life with Jesus Christ, and striving to take as many with us as we possibly can.

I’m reminded of an old song that I grew up hearing in church,
“Lord, I’m running, trying to make a hundred. Ninety nine and half won’t do.”

Each day, as we begin our daily run with Christ, don’t take off on empty. Spend some time with Him in prayer, building up your most holy faith. Be FULL when you step out into this world that is crying out for help.

Running on fumes in our walk with God can not only harm us spiritually, but it can hinder the effectiveness of our witness.

So, let’s continue to fill up before we head out. With a full tank, you may just be able to top off someone else along the way, that is running on fumes.

After a courageous 3 year battle with cancer, Sis. Linda Thompson has fought a good fight, and finished her course.

We do not sorrow as those who have no hope, for we understand that to absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

Sis. Linda lived her life as a reflection of her Savior, a faithful servant of God.

We are grateful for the many years Sis. Linda faithfully served the ministry of ASR as First Lady, alongside her husband, Bro. Robert Thompson, who served as President.

Azusa StreetRiders would not be the ministry it is today, without the leadership of Bro. Robert and Sis. Linda Thompson. Her legacy will continue to be an example of what it means to be Apostolic.

Please continue to lift up Bro. Robert and his family through this time.

Services for Sis. Linda will be:

Saturday, September 6, 2025
Viewing: 6:00pm
Service: 7:00pm

 

 

What a blessed time we had in Midland, MI for the 2025 National Rally!

God met with us in a special way during each service, during each ride, and throughout the entirety of the rally. There was a special presence of the Lord each day.

We rejoice with the 2 souls who were baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ during the rally, and everyone who received a special touch from the master.

The Board of Azusa StreetRiders would like to give special recognition to Pastor Kevin Willis, the saints of Pentecostal Temple, and the Midland MI chapter for a phenomenal job hosting the rally. Everything was done with excellence, and we are grateful for the hospitality that ASR was shown throughout the event.

Also, a special thank you to Machaila Zerbe for capturing several special moments throughout the rally.

 

 

On Monday, August 25, Azusa Street Riders disbursed $30,300 to provide motorcycles to missionaries in 7 countries, giving them the ability to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ in remote areas.

Thank you to all of the chapters and membership who sacrificed and gave to missions this year. You are making eternal impacts around the world!

The Gospel will be preached to all the world, largely in part to your participation in raising money for Motorcycles for Missionaries.

God bless you all!
