National Rally has come and gone

Here is just a few Pictures from our 2018 National Rally

Well this years National Rally has come and gone. Laureen and I along with My Pastor and Pentecostal Community Church would like to say thank you all who took the time out of your busy schedules to ride on up to Northeast Ohio.  And would also like to thank the ASR National Board.By far I would have to say that this years National Rally was hands down one of the best. And it was because of you guys our ASR family who made it so special. We had an awesome time in fellowship, riding, eating, and outreach. What made the outreach worth every effort. Was that we had a family come from our outreach to our rally and one person from that family received the Holy Ghost Thank you Jesus. This is what it’s all about. For the members who could not stay for Biker Sunday we had a tremendous out pouring of the Holy Ghost 2 received the Holy Ghost and 5 were baptized praise God. Thank you again for a wonderful National Rally. Looking forward to the 2019 National Rally in Tennessee. Hope to see everyone there.

State Watch

California
The state’s bill to protect motorcyclists from profiling by law enforcement officers failed to move forward. The bill, AB 2972, cleared the policy committee on a 5-2 vote. But the measure met opposition on the Assembly floor. Several lawmakers abstained, resulting in a 28-24 vote against the bill, which would prohibit law enforcement officers from stopping and questioning motorcyclist based on their choice of vehicle or clothing. Assembly member Anna Caballer, who introduced the bill was granted reconsideration, but ultimately pulled the bill when it became clear it wasn’t likely to pass.

Minnesota
The state Legislature passed S.F. 3466, which allows people possessing a motorcycle learner’s permit to ride a motorcycle on interstate highways and expressways. A person 16 or older who has a valid drivers license may obtain a motorcycle learner’s permit by passing a written examination and paying a fee.

New Hampshire
Gov. Chris Sununu signed S.B. 516 into law prohibiting motorcycle -only checkpoints by law enforcement agencies in the state.

Tennessee
S.B. 680, signed by Gov, Bill Haslam, removes a restriction that off highway vehicles only be operated on public streets and roads during one day of each of two big event weekends each year in Scott County. The new law specifies that the off-highway vehicles may be operated untill midnight. The law became effective on May 3rd.

Humbled

To all Azusa street riders;
I would like to say I’m honored and humbled to be International Secretary of ASR. When I joined ASR in 2011 I would never have dreamed that I would be doing Biker Sunday events let alone being on the board. Aug 2012 on the way to Clarksburg Rally we saw a bike and biker along side route 50, it was Bro. David Showalter , after spending 9 hours in a lot of downpours we got to know a great man that I am in contact with on a daily basis along with Bro. Joe Jarvis and Bro. Michael Theodore but that’s a whole different story.
 I said that to get to this, Bro Showalter’s bike needed to get to repair shop so I rode along with Bro Beall and Bro Showalter to get it there. That gave me the opportunity to hear to hear Bro Beall tell about starting ASR and his vision for this ministry which is one of the reasons I accepted this nomination. As a board member I will do my very best to put God first and to do my part to make ASR everything Bro Beall envisioned it to be. I love this ministry and all the great people that I have got to meet, ASR is one huge family and I want to thank all of you for your confidence in me. God bless you all.
International Secretary
Bro. Tom Thompson

Pray for Brother Todd Storey

I would like to ask that all of the Azusa StreetRiders family, friends and members continue to pray for Bro and Sis Storey and their family. Many of you know they were rear ended by a car while he and Sister Storey were riding on his motorcycle He has been in the hospital for weeks now and I just received a text he just came out of “another” surgery.

Please keep an eye out on our website and FB pages as to updates. In addition were attempting to put into place a medium in which we might be able to help in another way, by giving an offering for the family.

Thank you

It is the favorite time of year for the ASR membership!!! It is time for the national rally!! Good riding, tasteful eats, great fellowship, and tremendous church is the normal adventures of every ASR national rally. The annual business meeting will be held on Saturday, August 4th and will be including the election for ASR international secretary. I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you for the opportunity that I have had over the past 2 years to serve each of you and this ministry. It was an honor to have your confidence to vote me into this position and it has been an honor to serve as Secretary. I have decided that, at the current time, it is most profitable for my family, the ASR, and myself to refrain from seeking another term in office due to various responsibilities of “life” and the ministry that I am involved with inside of my home church. I ask that each of you join me in continuing to hold up the current and all future ASR boards in prayer. Now, it’s rally time; let’s get ready for church!! May God bless and keep each one of you.

Sincerely thankful,
Michael Luttrell
ASR International Secretary

Azusa StreetRiders – Philippines

AZUSA STREET RIDERS PHILIPPINES

Big things often have small beginnings. Though started in 2009, the Azusa Street Riders Philippines was recognized as an official ASR chapter in 2017. It has now a current official count of 42 members.

The main purpose of this ministry is to help local churches with evangelism. They visit local churches in different provinces to help the local church pastors promote the UPC church in the area. They have been to different provinces in the northern and southern parts of Luzon to promote the ministry and at the same time share the gospel. During evangelism rides, the riders give out ASR leaflets to motorcycle clubs and tracks to people they meet. They also marshal big and small events under UPCI Philippines, like General Conferences, Pentecost Sunday, and other events. As the ministry grows, updates and changes were made to further enhance the ministry. As we are firstly soul winners, the star award was implemented as mandated by the ASR International. Two members of the ASR Philippines have been given this award.

The Azusa Street Riders Philippines grows continually by the grace of God, and all for the glory of God.
