We are off and running in 2016 AND it’s already been very productive. We have many events scheduled and have already seen many new member sign on to help win the lost! God is good!!
Just a note of encouragement..
I’ve talked to members in the past year that have been discouraged about how slow they are adding new members in their area. Please know all areas are different, some grow fast, and some take a little more time to see the increase.
The bible says in 1 Corinthians 3-9
3 “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.”
As you can see, all we do is sow the seed and God will do the rest. So continue sharing Jesus with everyone you come across and see the miracles of the Lord.
Don’t get discouraged about how slow your chapter is growing. It’s not about the size of the chapter or about the speed it grows. Azusa StreetRiders aren’t about motorcycles or riding, although we do enjoy the activity, it is just a tool to help reach people for Jesus! To do so, we must help people to see the importance of a relationship with Him. As your chapter grows you are adding new soul winning-bikers to your team.
Luke 14:23 says, “And the lord said unto the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.’”
