With 23 motorcycles supplied to the mission field last year, we’re expecting greater things in 2025! Now is the time to begin planning your fundraising opportunities to sow into the work of God across the globe! I’m excited to see what God is going to do with Motorcycles for Missionaries this year. You are making an impact globally with your sacrifice and giving. God bless you for what you are doing to reach the lost, not only in the United States, but all around the world.

Registration is now open for the 2025 National Rally!

Visit the event tab on the website, find the National Rally event to register for the rally and meal plans. Host hotel booking information is also available there. We hope to see you there for a great time in the presence of the Lord!

There will be a full schedule of all rally activities available soon.

I know I’ve been there. Sitting at a stop sign or a red light, with the rumble of a v-twin at idle. Waiting on that moment when, with a quick release of the clutch, and a snap of the throttle, all of the available power of that engine will propel you forward with a roar, setting you back in the seat, with the thrill of acceleration.

The rpm’s climb rapidly, you pull the clutch, grab second, and twist the throttle again, only to feel no acceleration. In your attempt to grab second, you grabbed neutral instead. Suddenly, the joy is gone, the excitement fades, as what you intended to be a powerful launch, becomes nothing more than a missed shift.

As defeating as a missed shift on the bike can be, a “missed shift” in your spiritual walk can often result in the same feelings. What you intended to be a powerful step and journey with God, suddenly finds you struggling, feeling like you’re not getting anywhere.

The excitement fades, the zeal is gone, and you’re relegated to just cruising along, afraid to get too involved. You’re left wondering where you went wrong, and maybe this is just how it’s meant to be.

Psalm 37:23-24 tells us, The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down. For, the Lord upholdeth him with His hand.

Don’t let the missed shift be the end of your story. Second gear is still there, just waiting on the opportunity to be used. Third gear is still there, waiting on the chance to move you again.

The power of the Holy Ghost is still available to propel you forward in your ministry, in your outreach, and in your spiritual walk with God. Put your head down, pull the clutch, and grab second.

Remember, it’s only one down, and the rest is up.

At this year’s National Rally, ASR will be hosting a district Children’s Holy Ghost rally. This service will take place Friday evening in the Sunday School area of the church, while we are having our evangelistic service in the main sanctuary. We are looking forward to many children receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost. As many of you know, Sis. Lydia Diaz loved the children of ASR, and would often take and do activities with them during the daily group rides at Nationals. In honor of her, we are inviting the children of the Michigan district to attend this year’s Holy Ghost rally. God is moving in the hearts of the children, and raising up tomorrow’s Apostolic leaders.

The following is a testimony from Sis. Ashley Renick of the Hocking Hills, OH Chapter:

On Friday March 21st, God moved in a mighty way at Anchor Christian Academy in Zanesville, OH. I am a teacher for fifth and six grade. I am always ready to serve in the kingdom of God. On this day, God chose me to hear his voice and pray with a girl in my classroom who received the Holy Ghost. As soon as she received the Holy Ghost, another in my class received the Holy Ghost, and before I knew it, all the students from the school were coming into the class room, and the Holy Ghost fell on many students. It felt like we were in the upper room on The Day of Pentecost. The students prayed and were in the Spirit for over three hours!!! 9 students were filled and many more refilled. Six students were baptized in Jesus name at lunch time, and others were baptized at their home churches on Sunday!! God is moving!!! Just remember never give up on God, and always be willing and ready to serve.
