ASR Thailand – Great Time of Outreach and Fellowship
On this side of the world, ASR Thailand has been busy organizing rides with other motorcycle enthusiasts. Our love for riding is also an instrument in reaching more souls for Christ. Two years ago, I started a riding club and now has grown to a good number. Some may just see it as a weekend hobby- but we have a deeper reason for meeting as many as we can. Souls. Precious souls!
Ride safe everyone!
Bro Steve Kabasen, ASR Thailand
Sawadee Khap (Good morning/afternoon/evening in Thai language)!
The Azusa Street Riders of Thailand have been very busy the past weeks meeting riders on various groups rides and meet-ups that we have organized. We are all based in Bangkok and we often organize weekend rides out of the city to various locations. Some of the riders we have met during these rides have expressed their interest in coming to church, and some have already been to church.
I started an informal riding club about over a year ago and for the past few months, we have seen many members joining. The group is composed mainly of Filipinos and some Thais. Both from our churches and non-church people. This is a ministry for me, while enjoying riding our bikes here in Thailand. A few unbelievers have expressed their observation comparing our group to others here in Bangkok. We don’t drink and our wives wear skirts all the time, even when riding. When they ask why so, we see it as an opportunity to share what we believe, about God, salvation, life. We have just started this motorcycle ministry, but it has been a way for us to meet many people- to invite them to church, to pray for them and to minister to them in many ways.
Before every ride, before every meal, the non-church riders already know we pray first. It may have been awkward at first but now, it is a part of every activity we do. I always look forward to every prayer we do with the group. It is a great opportunity to declare that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ONLY god and Savior!
We would appreciate your prayers for our group here in Thailand and looking forward to many riders and their friends born into God’s kingdom!
On behalf of ASR of Thailand- May the Lord continue to bless each one of you!!!
Keep these Families in your prayers
We all know they are hurting and we do not know what kind of relationship they had with Jesus Christ so let’s keep them before the Lord for as long as we can

A FABLE: THE GIRL & THE SNAKE
Once upon a time a young girl was trudging along a mountain path, trying to reach her grandmother’s house. It was bitter cold and the wind cut like a knife. When she was within sight of her destination, she heard a rustle at her feet.
Looking down, she saw a snake. Before she could move, the snake spoke to her.
He said: “I am about to die. It is too cold for me up here and I am freezing. There is no food in these mountains and I am starving. Please put me under your coat and take me with you.”
“No,” replied the girl. “I know your kind. You are a rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you will bite me and your bite is poisonous.”
“No, no,” said the snake. “If you help me, you will be my best friend. I will treat you differently.”
The little girl sat down on a rock for a moment to rest and think things over. She looked at the beautiful markings on the snake and had to admit that it was the most beautiful snake she had ever seen.
Suddenly, she said: “I believe you. I will save you. All living things deserve to be treated with kindness.”
The little girl reached over, put the snake gently under her coat and proceeded toward her grandmother’s house. Within a moment, she felt a sharp pain in her side. The snake had bitten her.
“How could you do this to me?” she cried. “You promised that you would not bite me if I would protect you from the bitter cold.”
The snake hissed: “You knew what I was when you picked me up”. He slithered away.
If it looks like a snake, moves like a snake and comes from a snake nest, it probably is a snake and can only be expected to behave like one.

2019 National Rally Registration
Let’s Get Registered !
We have had a strong response so far with members registering for the 2019 National Rally. So far almost everyone that has registered has also included the MEAL PLAN so please do no hesitate, let’s get signed up and reservations made. The Registration App for the 2019 National Rally can be found by clicking on the link below.
FYI – There is still rooms at the host Hotel available
IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ:
Due to the success at our 2018 National Rally in Jefferson, Ohio compliments of Brother and Sister Theodore in regards to the lunch & Dinner arrangements, the Chapter in Maryville, TN would like to offer a “Meal Plan” at this years Rally. This meal plan would cover Thursday & Friday for both lunch (for those on the ride only) and dinner, immediately following service on both nights and will be held in the event center at FAC.
I could go into more details of all the benefits of the meal plan however anyone who attended the 2018 National Rally knows how nice it was to walk from the service and have a nice hot meal ready and waiting. Unfortunately this year there will be a cost involved. For those who wish to “go out” you are certainly welcomed to do so there are many restaurants in the area however you would miss out on some of the best fellowship were going to have at this years National Rally.
Due to the number of people attending I would strongly suggest you signup for the meal plan when you register. After July 25th the price of dinners will change to $20.00 for adults & $10.00 for children. In addition there will be only a limited number of “extra” dinners at the door available (I have been told by the ones preparing the meals they do not wish to have a lot of leftovers). Furthermore those that choose not to partake in the “lunch” meal plan(s) must bring a lunch with them if they want to eat. The venue for the lunches will be at a park or roadside picnic bench with limited or no access to any location to buy food. (Note: No extra lunches will be available for purchase on the ride)
** Please note you can sign up for one or all of the meals and if need be we have several months until the Rally so you can make partial payments over a period of time (Please get with Sis Theodore)
Registration Fee – covers the registration, 2019 event pin, Saturday Breakfast & Saturday Lunch. The Maryville chapter will host a meet & greet in the event center following Wednesday night service where pizza, salad, desserts and drinks will be served complements of this local chapter.
The fee’s are as follows:
$25.00 – Registration fee

Arkansas Men’s Conference 2019
We would like to thank Bro Womack and those that helped him represent Azusa StreetRiders at the Arkansas Men’s Conference.
Greeting Br Thompson
We had a great at the Arkansas men’s conference. Had several sign up that was interested in getting more information and passed out 20+ tracks to be taken back to different churches for the riders in their local assembly. We was giving the green light to come back in July to the family camp meeting to set up and share more information about the Azusa Street Riders. Also in July we will be going to Paragould AR to sign on the first chapter in Arkansas. We are very excited about what GOD is doing and looking forward to what the future holds for us. Please keep us in your prayer as we continue to do GOD’s work in spreading the Gospel to the lost.
Note: Arkansas family camp will be July 9-12. If anyone is interested or need more information feel free to pass on my number to call.
Blessings in JESUS NAME
