WELCOME 2012

OK.. here we go.
2012 - A BRAND NEW YEAR - So let's make it count.


We have some great plans for this year.  Yes, it's been a while since we had things 'rolling'.
We have a BIKE TUNE-UP CLINIC here before long to get all the bikes wrenched up and running well.

And we are going to be going on 6 major rides this year:

The Tail of the Dragon
'Five and Dime' - Williamsburg loop (across the Ferry)
Back Bay Loop
Union Mission Outreach Ride (with the Ambassadors for Jesus Christ Motorcycle Ministry)
Our Annual National Meeting and Ride
Virginia Food Bank Benefit Ride/ Cookout


So keep praying for us, we want to be an influence in this world and be there for bikers as God leads us.
Also come on out and ride with us.. keep your eye on this blog and we will be posting all about these rides as they come up!
To live is Christ - To Die is Gain

C1 Monthly Meeting Change to 17th

Howdy Soldiers,

Have to move the monthly meeting to the 17th.

Sorry for the inconvenience... I double booked an event and can't change the other one.

Meet at ICEMANS at 6PM. (Note time change - we moved it up to 6PM because of daylight savings time.. if this doesn't work, we can talk about it at the meeting!).

We will RIDE to a local dive.. I mean, a local restaurant/truck stop that actually has some DESSERT!

Blessings to all,

ICEMAN

Newest Christian Soldier - LURCH

Welcome LURCH!!!
Don Bokmiller (LURCH) received his full patch this past Saturday at our monthly Meeting.  He is a rock solid Christian man that brings new strength of character and solid faith to our Chapter.  We welcome him and look forward to his great ideas for outreach opportunities.

The Christian Soldiers is always looking for good men of integrity. If you have been seeking for meaning in your life and want to know more about faith in Christ, contact us.  If you have been seeking a group to ride with that would give you the shirt off their back, or help you out with anything that life throws at you, contact us.  If you already are a Christian and want to ride with fellow believers.. contact us.

We're only human.. but we are servants of the most High God.

LURCH - first ride with full patch

National Meeting / Camping Trip

Fun was had by all.
POBOY recovered enough from his injuries (truck wreck) to come see us off for the trip.  He rode up on a nice SPORTSTER!!!! Go figure - his ol' bike retired and he's now riding a 1200.
He rolled with us as far as Ahoski where he waved and departed.. the rest of us rolled on to Kerr Lake for the National Meeting / Camping trip.
DON (with his wife Shelley) and ICEMAN were on bikes and PSYCHO was in his cage (poor guy.. he was hauling his kids). I had my son on my bike and the other 2 kids were in the car with my wife Heather (they took turns on the bike).
DJ, DOC and TINY came from C2 along with Jason and some friends of his.. they were good people.  Hopefully we will ride with them again.. forgive me if i'm wrong, but I think their names were Greg and Melinda.  Also an awesome couple wearing the Bikers for Christ patch were there... forgot their names - dang.. I'm getting older and names don't stick so well.  =)

Anyway.. gorgeous weather, great food, tents, friends, campfires, etc.. all was a great time.
We had our national meeting and made some decisions for moving forward as a Motorcycle Ministry.
TINY rejoined the group in C2 and DON (our prospect) from C1 gave his testimony and his vision for joining the group.
Hoping we can make more impact for Christ next year as we roll along the highways and byways.
See ya'll next year!!!

Here are a few pictures of the trip:

See ya later Bobby White

Said goodbye this past Monday to the son of a dear friend JOSEY WALES.
Bobby was an awesome young man.  Didn't take long at the funeral to realize he touched a lot of people and will be greatly missed.  He even rode with us a couple times and turned out to be pretty good riding in a tight group.  His family is some of the most kind and friendly people you would ever want to meet.  Rock solid Christians and Bikers to the core.  We shall keep them in our prayers as they grieve their great loss.  Blessings and Peace to Kenny, Debbie and Billy. We loved Bobby too.. and will all miss him very much.

I sent this quote to Kenny when I first heard the news:

"Now remember, when things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is."
