Rumblings

The Pilgrimage, Myrtle Beach Chapter of ASR’s “Biker Sunday” event, was a tremendous success. At the “Meet-n-Greet,” we had a Taco Bar and just relaxed and fellowshipped with those who had already arrived. Breakfast early Saturday was followed by the filming of powerful ASR testimonies at Christian Life Center of Myrtle Beach. The video will be edited for brevity to eventually be used as promotional material for Oneness Apostolic pastors to encourage them to have their bikers join ASR in our outreach efforts.

“Thank you” to my wife, Diane Beall, Pastor Stacy Davis, the Myrtle Beach Chapter of ASR (Bro & Sis Ketron, Bro & Sis Poleto, Bro & Sis Colosimo, Bro & Sis Badillo, Bro & Sis Dorn, Bro & Sis Montes, and Bro Roberts), our good friend and riding partner Jimmy Frost, and the entire staff and members of CLC for their efforts in making the event a powerful outreach to the local biking community. We had 18 first-time visitors including members of CMA, Sons of God, Bond Slaves, Broken Chains and non-affiliated bikers. All were able to hear the Word preached and be part of an Apostolic church service. Pray God moves on all who attended!

A special thank you to all out-of-town Azusa StreetRiders for making the long trip to Myrtle Beach to attend and be a part of weekend’s activities. ASR Members came from:

A word for the President:
I feel anyone nominating an ASR member for either one of these positions should consider the following characteristics or attribute listed below of the person you are considering and not just that he/she is a friend that you would like to see on the National Board.

• • Devoted
  • Faithful Steward
  • Humble – Not Arrogant
  • Gentle – Not Quick Tempered
  • Sober – Not a drunkard
  • Peaceful or better still a Peacemaker – Not Confrontational
  • Financial Integrity – Not Greedy for Gain
  • Hospitable

  • Self Controlled
  • Upright
  • Teachable Spirit
  • Holy Inside and Out
  • Maintains a Consistent Prayer and Fasting Life
  • Spiritually Mature
  • Respectable
  • A Good Example among Men

Let’s also use 1 Timothy Chapter three as a further reference . I know this scripture is talking about a deacon or bishop position however I think we could easily, without the taking anything away from the word of God, use this as a guide when choosing any  national board position for our ministry:

1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.² A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;³ Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;⁴ One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;⁵ (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)⁶ Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.⁷ Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.⁸ Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;⁹ Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.¹⁰ And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.¹¹ Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.¹² Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.¹³ For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 

Let me be the first to say in making this list that I for one cannot/do not live upto many of these attributes however that does not relinquish the membership from expecting these things from the National Board of the Azusa StreetRiders ministry including the members of the current board. We need to strive for the best we can be.

The Azusa StreetRiders National Board would like to take a moment and thank Bro Mark Hardin, and commend him for his many years of service to the ASR ministry. Bro Hardin has served this ministry for many years as our International Chaplain, and has done so with a passion and desire to see true growth in this ministry, and in the chaplaincy. Chaplain Hardin has resigned his position as International Chaplain to grow other areas of his ministry. He will be greatly missed as a great asset to that position. We now have a vacancy in the role of International Chaplain. Starting today, in alignment with our decision last year to accept applications for board appointed positions, we will be accepting applications for the position of International Chaplain for 30 days. Anyone who is interested in applying for this position, please send an email to jeremiah.hayes@azusastreetriders.com, or to asr.national@azusastreetriders.com. I would ask, before you send an application, please spend time in prayer, and discuss this decision with your pastor. God bless you all.
