Welcome Our New Affiliate: Los Lunas, NM
Welcome Our New Affiliates
It is a great pleasure to notify you of our newest Fellowship Riders affiliate in Los Lunas, NM, Greater Vision Ministries. Known as “Christ’s 20/20 MM”, this newest member of the Fellowship Riders family has truly stepped out in faith to follow the call of the Holy Spirit in beginning its ministry as there are only a few riders at this time, but the Lord is preparing a harvest as these workers move forward in response to His call.
To introduce this ministry to the church body and the community on Father’s Day, there will be a 10:30AM Worship Service followed by a BBQ lunch. If you are looking for an excuse to ride to the Albuquerque area, here it is. What more can we ask as riders; meeting a new family member, encouraging others in the body of Christ, and free food?
Please join the leadership of Fellowship Riders in welcoming this newest member of our family and pray for them as they trust the Lord of the Harvest.

Welcome Our New Affiliate:
On Sunday, September 21, 2014, I was privileged to be present for the kick-off for our newest Fellowship Riders affiliate, Keystone Cruisers for Christ whose home church is New London Baptist Church in West Grove, PA.
In the time since, Pastor Mark Sawyer and his riders have participated in several community events in addition to organizing their first Angel Tree for Prisoner’s Children, one of the hallmark ministries of Fellowship Riders.
Please welcome this new affiliate to the Fellowship Riders family and strengthen them with prayer as they seek to follow the Lord’s call to serve Him through a motorcycle ministry “Powered by Christ.”

Spring to Life – Our Newest Affiliate
Our newest Fellowship Riders affiliate, West Park Church of Christ in Virginia Beach, VA, used a popular 5K community event called “Spring to Life” that attracts hundreds of participants and families; many of them unchurched; to promote interest in dozens of outreach ministries – among them their motorcycle ministry.
Steve Wiley, the leader of their Fellowship Riders ministry, is the organizer for this event and provided the picture of their tent and highlighted his H-D Road King with the Fellowship Riders flag, just in case anyone was wondering what he rides.
Observations by Jeff Wadley during a recent prison run
One particular young man I visited with started to leave and go back into the prison from the yard when the invitation began; I reached out and shook his hand and stopped him.
I asked him, “Do you have a spiritual belief?”, his reply was, ” sort of”.
Then I asked him,” If your sister, wife, brother or whomever picked you up the day of your release and on your way home you were hit by a truck and killed, and found yourself standing in front of Jesus and He said to you, ” Why should I let you into my heaven?, What would you say?.
His reply was,” I don’t think I would get that far.”
I also asked him,” Would you like to know the truth?” and then, I explained this scenario; Continue reading
2012 Founder’s Day – Summit Meeting
Journey to the Llano Estacado
As advertised, the journey to the Spirit Ranch in Lubbock, TX was a time of fellowship and fun with terrific weather and an exercise in “nuclear physicular science” as we attempted to get into the Guinness Book of World Records with flying Brassica Oleracea. Due to the rigid requirements for a World Record and the sloping landing zone, our efforts did not result in a record; however; that dream has not died. Continue reading
Improved Communcation with Affiliates
The Board of Directors is working to improve communications with Fellowship Riders affiliates using Facebook and an improved Blog. In addition, we are moving to distribute a newsletter to share knowledge, experiences, and encouragement to our affiliates. For these efforts to be successful it will require participation and responses by affiliates and their riders. There is a huge resource of “how to”, fresh ideas, and testimonies residing within the affiliate groups that would benefit us all in the work of Kingdom ministry. We ask you help us as we seek to add resources and increased support to all Fellowship Riders affiliates by sharing and participating to greater impact our riders, churches, and communities for the cause of Christ.

Welcome to our Newest Board Member
John Allen, East Coast Regional Director
John and his wife Carol love motorcycle riding throughout the year.

From the desk of Mr. Clean
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. You are a child of God. Playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won’t feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it is in all of us. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same, as we are liberated from our own fear our presence automatically liberates others. These are powerful words that could be brought to life by anyone of us in this Motorcycle Ministry called Fellowship Riders! Continue reading
