A total of 997km journey, reached and Marked the Philippines highest highway system. The ASR Team with 7 determined riders took off from manila to Baguio city for a promotional invitation of UPC National World Mission Director Pastor Jimmy Sulit.
In an instant we saw our selves singing in the front of the E summit delegates while they taking their lunch.. thank you for the talented members of ASR Philippines. Great response from the attendees and crowded with inquiries how to join the ASR.
Thank you to our instant singers
Sir Jun Fabro, Sis Gev Fabro, Ptra Liezel Elardo singing “Dakilang katapatan” and the musicians who eveready to play the instruments for the Glory of God!
Ptr Denz our Drummer
Bro Jermiah Lazona Bassist
And yours truly as pianist.
After the event the team stayed in UPC Baguio courtesy of Rev Eugene Banez, a comfortable bed for us to prepare our body for the next mission. thank you Ptr Eugene!
We reached the top at 11am. What refreshing scenery! Beholding the wonders of nature and the amazing creations of God!
We continue our journey to Sagada spanning the Halsema high way” categorized as one of the most dangerous highway in the world” And thank God we’ve made it we arrived in one piece! We reached Sagada town at 5:30pm .. Another milestone as rider of ASR Philippines
At 7pm we still determined to reach our next mission in UPC Aglipay and UPC Maddela.. at exactly 3:30AM we reached UPC Aglipay to have a short meal and rest, thank you Ptr Macoy Prieto and Sis Rosan Prieto for accomodation and delicious food.
We proceed to Maddela church and take a rest for the next journey.
Saturday 1PM we offer prayer for God’s Blessings to Prieto Family together with Dad our ASR mentor who is in vacation on the same place.
Preparing for the next and final journey! Home bound Manila!
The team departed the UPC Maddela at exactly 2PM, travelling the Quirino-Aurora-Nueva Ecijah road. Driving on a twisty, bouncy, steep road is not a joke on a team running out of time.. we try as fast as we could but with strict safety to reach out home since its already sunday.
Touchdown Taguig
Finally we reached Taguig where we start our Journey at exactly 3AM.
Tired but our hearts overflowed with joy, satisfied as we completed the mission!

Passing The Baton
I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you that have supported not only myself but the two boards that I served with over the last six years. It has been an honor to have been your president and it has been an honor to serve you fine people, I pray that I have served you well I guess time will tell.
Moving forward I’m asking all the members of the Azusa StreetRiders ministry to get behind Brother Michael Theodore and this board and give them the support that they need in order to take this ministry to the next level. I ask all of you to keep them prayer this is God’s ministry ran by men and women who are Holy Ghost filled. That certainly does not make them perfect but it does make them willing to step up to the plate and to do a job that at times is not only difficult and unrewarding but also challenges us to the core of one’s own beliefs.
So therefor Keep the Faith, Stay the Course Jesus is coming back soon for his church and the Azusa StreetRiders is a unique niche within the church. Love and appreciate y’all with my whole heart.
God Bless and Keep each and everyone of you and yours. May the sun always be to your back and the wind in your face and I’ll see ya here, there or in the air.
Moving Forward
Praise the Lord my ASR family. I first would like to start off by saying thank you Robert Thompson for your six years of leadership in ASR. I would like to thank my wife Laureen Theodore for her six years of service, It was an honor and pleasure working with the both of you.
Moving forwad I am anxious to see what the Lord has in store for ASR and to work with our new board. The theme for 2024 is Taking It To The Streets. One of my goals starting off will be connecting our membership through communication and information. Pray for the new board as we move ASR forward. I love you all.

Jacksonville, Illinois Biker Weekend
Article by
Austin Seaton
Hello and greetings from the west central Illinois Azusa Street Riders! Based in Jacksonville, Illinois. Our chapter started 6 years ago with the help and guidance of brothers Mark Hardin and Scott Culver. From there we began our endeavor and this year hosted our 5th annual biker weekend. With our largest turnout to date we began the first of our 3 day event with prayer. We drove from church to church in our region and prayed for revival and an outpouring of the holy ghost across our state and nation. Saturday we began with a breakfast meet and greet welcoming old friends and introducing new ones. After the ride concluded we met at Austin Seaton and wife Melissa Seatons home for food games and fellowship. Sunday was nothing short of anointed Brothers David Barajas and family of Moline IL brought a message of Praise and releasing a spirit of the lion of Judah. The alters filled as a overwhelming spirit of the Holy Ghost began to pour out lives held in bondage changed and multiple being refilled with the Holy spirit after years away from God’s love. I am beyond blessed by the ministry of the Azusa Street Riders and cannot wait to see what the upcoming year’s have in store. I leave with a scripture that has been deeply impacting as of late Psalm 27/14 Wait on the Lord be of good courage and he will strengthen thine heart. Thank you so much to all of my local chapter for making this our best year yet and cannot wait for what is yet to come!

Have you selected your event dates for next year?? Now is a good time to start thinking about your event dates.
It’s Time For The 2023 National Rally – Maryville, TN
Here are a couple of updates
2023 Azusa StreetRiders National Rally Update: First and foremost, everyone be safe on the ride to National’s!
1. Anyone planning to sign up at the door for the meal plan that has not yet done so please just let us know now we need an accurate headcount by Saturday. We want to make accommodations for everyone.
2. All those planning to attend Wednesday nights midweek service here at FAC please park around the circle in front of the church hopefully we’ll have enough faith to get a nice picture.
3. Any rider that has a PackTalk COM system and would like to link in please bring your helmet and your PackTalk unit to Wednesday nights meet and greet so we can get everything linked up and not have to deal with it on Thursday morning.
4. A reminder that Global Grounds World Missions coffee shop will be open 8 o’clock both Thursday and Friday for the convenience of our Azusa StreetRiders Ministry. The coffee shop in usually not opened in the mornings during the week.
All workers in the coffee shop are volunteers and 100% a profit go towards missionaries around the world. Not everybody is aware that FAC Maryville support not only ALJC missionaries but also UPCI and other apostolic missionaries throughout the world. Keep that in mind and please help support this ministry.
5. Please go ahead print and fill out the Ride Waver from the Azusa StreetRider web page and bring it with you this will help cut out time at the registration desk or the meet & greet.
A another couple of last-minute changes here first off brother Mark Condon is it going to be unable to attend this year’s national rally unfortunately, something came up and he had to change his schedule here at the last minute we’re certainly going to miss his worship. However, FAC has agreed to provide their praise singers for both Thursday and Friday night.
In addition, after looking at the cost for the main church to bring in the cleaning crew Thursday and Friday, and also to hire the tech crew to come in in order to stream do the media and everything that is involved the cost was more than we wanted to pay. Therefore we’re moving the service to the youth sanctuary which I was at this morning and it is extremely nice and very high tech. So we will streamline the service and they have a complete media team at our disposal along with a led backdrop there on the platform so everything should be extremely nice.
Let’s Have a Great Rally, looking forward to seeing all of you here.
Meal Plan and Registration are now on the Azusa StreetRiders website under Events.
Please sign up today so we can start getting a count for this years National Rally in the Motorcycle Riding Capital East of the Mississippi, Maryville, TN.

The church is probably only 10 minutes from both host hotels, and from Alcoa, Maryville in the surrounding areas.
