December 2012

2012 has been another incredible year. We have traveled across the country and ministered in the local community. We have seen upwards of 1000 people come to Christ year after year.. We have empowered and trained teams in evangelism and so many lives have been changed. What a great year for evangelism!

We have new chapters form this year with Wheels of Faith Motorcycle Ministry. With new chapters comes more laborers for the harvest. New doors have opened up at better evangelism areas at major bike rallies. We have new locations at Panama City Beach and at Daytona Bike Week!

At Sturgis Rally this year we were able to block of part of a street for evangelism that included a large area for kids ministry. This was a huge success and one of the highlights for the year.

We have taught men and couples at retreats and seminars this year. Many marriages and individuals have been changed because of this part of our ministry. We are excited at how God is using us in this area also.

This has been a great year of ministry, and we are so thankful for our partners. Thank you for your prayers and financial support of this ministry. May God bless you. Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

 

November 2012

What a great season it was this fall. We were involved in many outreaches with many salvations.

Panama City Beach Florida - 75 Salvations

Cocoa Florida Car Show- 11 Salvations

Daytona Florida Biketoberfest- 46 Salvations.

Sally and I were the speakers at a Marriage Retreat in October . We enjoyed ministering and touching couples lives!

August 2012

Sturgis Biker Rally in South Dakota was a huge success! We has a team of just over 20 people and had 381 follow up cards! People were getting saved constantly during the event, from little children to old time bikers. We had many difficulties along the way there in the vehicle, but that just made us more determined. We spent over 120 hours in the bus and worked day and night sharing the Gospel. What a great team working together to share Jesus!   This video is amazing!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ed5prw0iz74&feature=youtu.be

New members patched into the ministry!

This is what 381 salvation follow up cards look like! Praise the Lord!

 

June 2012

Our Annual Wheels of Faith MM Rally was in June in Maggie Valley NC! We had many leaders representing their areas at the event. It was so encouraging to see how many bikers and others are being ministered to across the nation through this ministry. Some of stories of the creativity in ministering to others were amazing. One group hangs out at the Laundromat, and after a customer puts the clothes in the washing machine, they run over and feed the machine the quarters needed to operate. Then they spend time with customers telling them about Christ! We also had a great time of teambuilding and of course great rides through the mountains.

With the ministry of Wheels of Faith MM, we have been able to duplicate ourselves across the nation by training others and giving them tools for ministry. The journey has been incredible!

I am at the point in ministry that I need to itinerate again. I pray that you will invite me to minister at your church, and I will be happy to do a marriage seminar for you also. I need to put to good use these advanced degrees that I have earned. Thank you in advance!

May 2012

April and May were great months in ministry. We ministered at Leesburg Bikefest in Florida. Leesburg brings thousands of bikers to the area, and we ministered and prayed for many there. It was a great year again this year.

We also used our educational skills to teach at a Marriage Encounter. There were about 100 couples there, and it was an exciting time to see God move on the hearts of married couples.

We also started Chapter 53 of Wheels of Faith MM in Minot, North Dakota. The church in Minot was incredible and their pastor was outstanding. The Sunday morning service had 11 bikes in the front of the sanctuary, one in the foyer, and others in the parking lot. We also ministered in Stanley ND, and the Spirit of God touched many lives there also. The River of Life Church has invited us to do a Marriage Seminar for them in September. We are very excited for all that God is doing!

Minot ND was flooded last year, and the devastation was horrific. As I traveled through the area, it was if you can still feel the tragedy. Some homes were rebuilt, and others were like the one in the picture below. God is moving greatly in that area though, and lives are being changed for the glory of God!

March 2012

What a great month is was in February and March. February we attended a Biker in Need rally that collects food and money for bikers that need help. They even supply food for their pets, too!

We traveled to Tennessee for the National Coalition of Clubs Christian Unity to learn how to better work together and minister to bikers. This was a great event where we met others that minister in the biker culture. We find that these meetings are necessary for those in the biker ministry.

Bike week Daytona was a success again this year. We ministered to many praying for them and leading others to the Lord. Rain plagued the first part of bike week, but later in the week the days were simply perfect. Biker ministries have made a huge impact on the riding community, for many that we talked to were already saved and connected to their local church. Below are some of the folks that we met there.

January 2012

It is the New Year and this is going to be a great year! There are three main areas that we work with. Those areas are evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship. We work with churches across the nation helping them to develop their leaders and motorcycle groups. Upwards of 600 gave their lives to Christ on the streets of America through our outreach teams last year alone. They were all given a pocket bible and other valuable literature.

Recently we were on a Ride for the Homeless. Below is Sally praying for one of the ladies that has been hit by the economy and living at the shelter.  The picture on the right is a family with small children that has also been hit by the economy. This is not what one would expect at the shelter. It is enough to break one's heart.

Next month we will travel to Tennessee for the National Coalition of Clubs Christian Unity meeting. This will be a great meeting as we learn more about the newest strategies to help those in need, and network with others that will be in attendance at this event. We will also be speaking at a missions convention at Abundant Life Assembly of God in Evergreen Alabama. This will be an exciting time of sharing what God has been doing through US and World Missions.

 

 

 

October 2011

Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach Florida was a great time of ministry. I ministered at motorcycle shops and at Booth Hill Saloon in Daytona Beach and the Booth Hill Saloon in Ormond Beach. It was a great to see people come up to the booth and share Christ with them. Upwards of 60 people gave their lives to Christ at this event. I am always in awe as the Lord ministers on the streets as we share his good news about salvation.

September 2011

We met our team at Panama City Beach for the Thunder Beach Rally. We set up at the local motorcycle shop as we do twice per year for the spring rally and then again at the fall. This rally had a lower attendance because of the hurting economy. In spite of that, we had seven commitments to Christ, and many others that we prayed with and ministered to.

There were two couples that walked up to our booth on the way back from visiting the shop. They had been friends for years. One couple was serving God, and the the other couple was not. They had been believing God for their salvation for a long time. That day, at the rally in Panama City, their friends accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. There was rejoicing in the parking lot, as their prayers had finally been answered.

 

August 2011

Sturgis outreach was a great success again this year. We had a team of 17 that worked together to minister to thousands of people. At the end of the week we had 332 commit their lives to Christ. We were at a new location on the street that worked well for us. We had three tents this year. One was a water tent, one was the "Wheel of Dysfunction" tent, and the other was a therapy tent. People that were saved from past events showed up to thank us for the ministry. It was a very successful outreach again this year!

June 2011

Thunder in the Valley was a great success again this year. Kiski Valley AG and Grace AG partnered with us to at Johnstown in PA. Our ministry booth was extremely busy. There were so many people coming to the booth for ministry, that we abandoned the effort on getting follow up cards and used all our efforts to share with folks at the booth. It was an extremely successful rally again this year with over a hundred giving their lives to Christ!

 

April / May 2011

April and May brought several outreaches. We had teams from  Florida and Alabama at Panama City's Thunder Beach, where we set up at an American Motorcycle Shop talking to those who came by the vendor booths. The crowds were not as big as before at that event, and our booth location was not as good as in the past. There was only one other vendor in the lot, and a Dyno Machine in an adjacent lot. There were five salvations at our booth, and we are thankful for those. May we went to Maggie Valley Rally and Asheville Rally, where we met Ira and his chapter. The economy has hit this event, with a very low attendance as you can see from the pictures. The picture below is me sharing with a 1% biker's lady.

March 2011

Recently I was invited to do a biker memorial service for a man who died in a motorcycle accident. The wife of the fallen biker was touched at the memorial service. Through this traumatic experience, she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. Prior to this she had not been in church for decades. Today, she is saved through this ministry and plugged into the local church. Is this ministry effective? Denise would say it is.

             

Personal Note: March 15 I lost my hero when my dad went to be with the Lord. He will be missed greatly, but He knew Jesus Christ as his personal savior, so I will see him again in Heaven. His incredible legacy lives on through his wife and children, who he loved with all of his heart. I love you daddy!

                      November-December 2010

This has been such a great year of ministry! In November, I was a guest on "The Harvest Show." This show television show reaches billions across the globe through the airways and internet. This year we have been in Charisma Magazine, The Pentecostal Evangel, AG News, The Alabama Messenger district magazine,  and other news publications.

 Recently, I rode to South Bend, Indiana on the Harley to be on TV, with the weather down in the 20's. This trip alone we put on 2900+ miles on the bike as we attended motorcycle events and services on the way. We started a new Wheels of Faith Chapter in Mobile, Alabama on this trip.

Chapter 50 of Wheels of Faith was started November 31st in Maryland! This ministry has been a blessing to the churches and the lost. Many new chapters have been formed this year, and the ministry is multiplying and reaching more people than ever before!

This year we have put thousands of miles on the vehicles as we share the message of Christ across the nation. In 2010, we have seen 906 commitments cards to Christ filled out. It has been a great year of ministry again this year, and we expect God to do amazing things again next year.

Thank you so much for supporting Chaplain Scott this year with your prayers and financial support! We pray the God will bless you this Christmas season and in the New Year!

Merry Christmas!

  

 

 

October 2010

We had another great outreach at Daytona Beach for Biketoberfest. Six churches worked together at the outreach, which was held at Boot Hill Saloon. There were mostly people from Florida at the beginning of the event then they were joined from bikers from around the world. This is a smaller bike rally, bring in less than 100,000 estimated by some. We were located next to the porta-potty again this year. Eventually, folks have to walk by us on the way.

The Daytona police tried to stop us from handing out tracks and give aways on the sidewalk. I was thinking that we were still in the United States of America, and the 1st amendment had not been repealed as of yet. We armed ourselves with knowledge and marched forward handing the Truth.

Here is a 90 second video of the action. Play Video Here.

         

August 2010

The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in South Dakota was a great success again this year. We had a team of 13 people that worked the ministry booth in Hill City. Lighthouse Assembly in Hill City set up the booth and are an integral part of the success at the Rally. At the end of the week we had 305 salvation follow up cards. Ira, who got saved at the booth 5 years ago, came back again to update us on his walk with Christ. An attorney who put on the salvation bracelet last year had never taken it off since last year. He was in court with it on. He was on fire for Christ. Many who we met last year revisited this year. One 12 year old girl gave her life life to Christ and was asked if she wanted a bible. She said, "What is a bible?" That day she received her first bible. There is a clip in the video about the girl. The video is 3 minutes long. Just click on the link and the YouTube video will play.

July 2010

Thunder in the Valley Rally in Johnstown Pa. was incredible. We worked with Kiski Valley Assembly of God out of Leechburg. The outreach was wonderful, and many gave their lives to Christ. One couple came up to the outreach booth together and each spoke to a different worker. The husband gave his life to Christ and wife did not. When they rejoined after leaving the booth the wife found that her husband had been saved. She returned to the booth so that she could give her life to Christ also.  At the end of the outreach we had 201 salvation follow up cards!

Here is a 2 minute video with some of the action!   Click here

August takes us to Sturgis, the world's largest motorcycle rally. Details to follow....

 

May / June 2010

Panama City Outreach was a wet outreach. We set up on Thursday evening expecting great results for Friday, which is always are biggest day. We are located at a motorcycle shop, and if riders have bike problems on the way to the rally, we have the opportunity to meet them as they get their bike fixed. This year, we had terrible storms with high wind and heavy rain that seriously hindered people from riding and moving about. We had a great team, but we were seriously limited by the rain. At the end of the rainy outreach, we had commitments 26 to Christ, and that is not too shabby.

Rain,   rain,   and   then   more    rain.

 


This is a recent write up in the AG News

                                         Reaching bikers for Christ    Wed, 09 Jun 2010 - 3:17 PM CST
You've seen them - and heard them - on the highways and local roads. You've come upon them at intersections and traveling in packs, their engines pounding and racing in sync with your heart . . . while you hope to remain unnoticed.

 

They are members of groups with comforting names such as Hell's Angels, Mongols, Outlaws and Pagans. Leather vests, tattoos, chain drive wallets and dark sunglasses often accompanied by some kind of facial hair and a not-so-friendly look in their eyes helps bring together the biker stereotype.

So, it would make perfect sense for a former NASA Space Shuttle analyst and part-time pleasure rider to go to the largest gatherings of bikers meeting at locations across the nation and point-blank ask them, "So, what are your dysfunctions?"

Perhaps more impressive is the fact he's lived to tell about it.

Scott and Sally Bush
Scott and Sally Bush

Biker Chaplain Scott Bush, 48, has been ministering to bikers for nearly 20 years, the last five years as a nationally appointed AG U.S. missionary. Bush, his wife Sally and volunteers at biker events have been seeing God do incredible things in the lives of bikers.

At massive biker events where hundreds of thousands gather, such as in Leesburg, Florida; Daytona Beach, Florida; Panama City, Florida; and Sturgis, South Dakota; Bush has seen incredible results. "Of those who we get to talk to, about 25 percent make a decision for Christ," he says. "At Sturgis last year, 422 made the decision to accept Jesus Christ into their lives; at Leesburg just a few weeks ago, 184 chose Christ."

But just how does Bush see such great results among a group of people who pride themselves in being hard core; come with nicknames such as Snake, Wolf, Picnic Table, Mad Dog, Big Red, Stump and Darth; and seem to thrive on intimidation?

"Bikers are some of the most dysfunctional people you will ever meet," Bush explains, "and they're proud of it! At biker rallies, we set up a booth just like any other vendor and I have a motorcycle wheel called the 'Wheel of dysfunction.' We spin it and whatever dysfunction it lands on, that's the biker's dysfunction."

Now, although it's not advisable to tell just anyone that they're borderline psychotic, schizoid or narcissistic, with bikers (in a rally booth setting), it works.

Wheel of Dysfunction
Chaplain Scott Bush with the popular "Wheel of Dysfunction."

"They'll spin the wheel and land on one of these dysfunctions and their buddies will start laughing, and in less than two minutes we've built a relationship, a rapport with them," Bush says. "We then take them to the tent because everyone who spins, wins a prize, and we give them a salvation bracelet or key chain - at that point, we explain the steps to salvation and then God does the rest."

Bush says that he's found that bikers many times have a misconception about what it means to accept Christ as Savior. We're all on a spiritual journey that just begins when we accept Christ, he says. "When bikers find out how easy it is to accept Christ, many times they're like, 'Wow! I'll be glad to do that!'"

But Bush and his team don't just lead people to Christ and then abandon them. They give each one a Bible, a card that explains the plan of salvation and they follow-up with each biker by letter or e-mail checking in to see how they're doing and giving them a link to the AG Web site where they can find an AG church in their community to attend.

One might think that the reason Bush is in this line of ministry and is so effective is due to some kind of hard-line biker experience in his past, but that's not the case. Bush has a bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science, a masters in Mental Health and is currently working on a Ph.D. in Human Sexuality (family counseling). He says that in the early 90s, God just gave him a passion to reach bikers - and he really can't explain why.

However, his Wheels of Faith Motor Ministries, which he also takes to car shows, is changing hundreds of lives month after month as well as planting spiritual seeds into the lives of many more.

One example of God producing a harvest that stands out clearly to Bush occurred last fall. A biker came by the booth in Panama City in 2008. They ran through the plan of salvation with him, but he wasn't ready to accept Christ. They gave him the materials, which he took home.

"His wife read through the materials and gave her life to Christ," Bush says, "and 10 months later, she led him to the Lord! This past fall, while walking around at Panama City, they stopped me and told me the whole story of their salvation."

Bush says that only once in all his years of ministry to bikers has he ever been given a hard time - a biker threatened to take his vest.

Scott Bush -- biker crowd
As Chaplain Scott Bush talks with one biker, other bikers look on and stand in line, ready to spin the Wheel of Dysfunction for themselves.
 

"We had a conversation, a very good 'conversation,' where basically I let him know that it [taking my vest] wasn't going to happen," Bush recalls. "A short time later, I led him to the Lord. I also did his wedding ceremony, and then some years later, I did his funeral."

Although some may raise their eyebrows at this, Bush says bikers are just regular people. He admits their culture is very different, but when the salvation message is presented to them in a setting based on rapport, they frequently respond.

"As I tell my volunteers, if you can win someone to you, you can win them to the Lord," Bush says. "If they don't like you, you're not going to be very successful."

For more information about Chaplain Scott Bush's ministry to bikers or to learn how to volunteer with his ministry, see his Web site.

April 2010

Leesburg Bikefest in Florida was a great success. The streets were lined with people and bikes. Saturday was especially busy, to the point that we could not keep up with the response. At the end of the outreach we collected 184 commitment cards to Jesus Christ. God is working through US Missionaries! Thanks to my team. Without them, these results do not take place!

We have several outreaches in the month of April. The first one was at a classic car show in Orlando, Florida, with 17 commitments to Christ! There were 150 classics there and they all looked great. We changed our spinning wheel that we normally used as the "Wheel of Dysfunction" game into a "1/4 Mile Race Wheel" game. It was a great success as you can see in the 90 second video that I posted on YouTube. .

Here is the video of the classic car outreach (90 seconds)  Video Link Here                                                    

March 2010

Bike week was incredible. We had 128 salvations on the property of the world famous Boot Hill Saloon! We were positioned between the food and the porta-potty, and it was a great place to be. Everyone needed both of those places, and they went by our booth to get there. That is where they found Jesus Christ!

Watch the 2 minute video of some of the action here

             

 February 2010

Wheels of Faith Chapters starting and growing

 

Merry Christmas!

December 2009

This newsletter includes our end of the year ministry report. This year has been an incredible year of ministry for us. We have organized major outreaches on the streets in various areas of the United States. We have trained young and old how to effectively share their faith with others in a very effective way. Two years ago we changed our methodology of evangelism, and we have seen the fruit of our labors. 1869 people have given their lives to Christ through this ministry in the past two years. Have we been effective in ministry? Those who have found Christ this year through outreaches would say yes.

Earlier this year I completed my Masters degree in Mental Heath / Marriage and Family. I now provide professional psychotherapy free bikers and others as a part of my ministry. Those wanting therapy simply sign an agreement to attend the local Assembly of God church on a weekly basis as a part of their professional therapy. It is incredible, and it is changing lives.

Below are pictures of the Wheels of Faith MM Christmas party that was held in Geneva, Florida. We were blessed to to be able to have the party at Danville Hangar. The pictures do not do it justice. What a great time to reflect on our Savior and what He has accomplished this year.

Thank you for your prayer and support of this ministry!

Autumn in Florida brings Biketoberfest. This year we had several of our Wheels of Faith MM chapters working the streets of Daytona. We didn't have a booth, but rather worked the sidewalks where bikes are parked. Biketoberfest is only a couple days long, but 69 people gave their lives to Christ. It was another great outreach on the streets of America.

      

While in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this in October I had the opportunity to connect with Pittsburgh City Outreach. This is a great church doing great things for God. A group of young people were visiting the church from Fair Ridge, Pa, the same weekend and came to do an outreach downtown. I partnered with them and 12 people gave their lives to Christ through these young people and the men's and ladies team at Pittsburgh City Outreach.

Panama City Beach Outreach was amazing. This was the first attempt at working the autumn rally. We took a team of 14 with us from Orlando, and met another 15 from Alabama to work the outreach. The Florida team had 6 salvations on the way to the event. It was amazing. They worked two locations on Friday, with 72 decisions for Christ, and then 6 more on the way back to Orlando totaling 94. The Alabama team worked one location and had another 10 commitments on Saturday. What a soul winning team we have, and we are thankful to God for the help. There were a 104 total of commitments to Christ at this event.

Sturgis Rally 2009 was incredible. We had a team of 20 people that included two Sr. Pastors and a lay pastor and others that were on disability or unemployed. Our team worked Sunday thru Thursday in Hill City operating two locations. Young and old, individuals and families were giving their lives to Christ as their Lord and Savior. Our ministry booth was the busiest booth on Main Street again this year according to those passing by. Below are some pictures of some of those who were saved. We do follow up on the new converts to help them get in a church, and we also give them a Hope for the Highway Biker Bible. We had a bilingual worker with us that ministered in Spanish and gave out Spanish bibles to those converts. 422 Decisions For Christ!

Sturgis Biker Rally Update
All the funds have been raised or promised for everyone to travel to the Sturgis Rally. We will be traveling July 30 to August 9. Thank you for giving, and thank you in advance for praying for us as we travel and minister. We have a second team leaving from South Carolina that need your prayers also. We are taking the unemployed and others to invade the devil's territory.

Mental Health for Bikers + Sturgis Preparations

     I have just completed a Master's Degree with a dual major in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. I have put a poster in the local biker bar advertising for free professional therapy for all bikes and their family. We have had some takers, and we can see the results! The stories are confidential, so I can not share the details, but God is using this to reach the lost. 

                                                              We are also working on taking unemployed workers who love the Lord to help share the Gospel at our booth in South Dakota at the Sturgis Biker Rally. They will be given transportation there in a large, borrowed RV, meals, and lodging for only $850 per person. They do not have the money to go, but you may be able to help them go. Maybe you can give toward this outreach, or maybe you can come. We see hundreds saved at these outreaches, we expect the same for this one. Lets go into the highways and byways and compel them to come in!

We need you to partner with us and give, so these folks can use their time off to put the devil under their feet!

Panama City Beach Outreach 55 Saved!

Thunder Beach Motorcycle Rally was incredible again this year. We had 4 AGRFMM (Assemblies of God Motor Ministries and Riding Fellowship) churches work with us this year. Many of the workers this year had never participated in street ministry before. We taught them how to do street ministry and soon they were leading bikers to Christ. We worked for 2 1/2 days and reaped 55 souls.

             

 Would you like to spin the wheel?      These men did and accepted Christ too!      Follow up cards are used.

Amazing  -  285 Saved at Daytona Bike Week!

Daytona Bike Week was amazing this year. We saw people from countries all over the world  giving their lives to Jesus. Chaplain Scott organized the outreach, which included help from 12 AGRFMM (Assemblies of God Motor Ministries and Riding Fellowship) churches. The church workers were trained by Chaplain Scott and then let loose at Daytona Beach. Chaplain Scott was asked by the master of ceremonies to come to the grandstand several times to pray over the crowd. Other motorcycle ministries came to the AGRFMM booth to ask what we were doing to be so effective. Chaplain Scott trained them so that they might have better results. It was a hard 10 days, but it was worth the time and money. Thank you to the 12 churches that participated, and for the hundreds that were praying. It made a difference!

December 2008

Recently Chaplain Scott and some of his team visited a Motorcycle Club who are clean and sober. Armed with Life Recovery Bibles made specifically for the 12 step program that they are working through, Chaplain Scott offered the bibles to the meeting participants. 9 individuals rushed over to get what the AA groups call the Big Big Book, the Word of God. It was exciting to see people in America desiring the Word of God!

He and his team also visited some of the 1%er clubs in the area keeping open lines of communication with these groups. Wheels of Faith MM is growing across the nation and it is very important to keep God's favor with the motorcycle clubs. We are excited to be starting 2 more chapters, one in Leesburg, Florida, and the other in Selma, Alabama.

Many lives were touched this year through evangelism, and hundreds and hundreds found Jesus through Wheels of Faith Outreaches. Churches that have chapters are seeing lives touched in their local community through this ministry. Thank you for your support of this ministry as we partner together and help to change America bringing people to Jesus Christ!

Have a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year

October November 2008

Chaplain Scott and his team were at Octoberfest in Florida and they were set up at Orlando Harley Davidson. The dealership had a chili cook-off that Chapter 1 Wheels of Faith chapter helped with. They theme was outhouse chili, and it was a great hit. Bikers came by the booth and we were able to pray and minister to folks. Sally received a 1st place for presentation and it was great exposure for the ministry. We were the only ministry that participated in the event.

At the Pen-Florida Men's convention this year we had an opportunity to talk about motorcycle ministry and how to help grow your church through motorcycle ministry. We shared tools on how to be a great soul winner. We also put on a scavenger hunt before the conference. The conference was a great success through the leadership of Ed White again this year.

Sturgis Rally 253 +7   =   260 Saved
South Dakota

Chaplain Scott and his team of AGRFMM and Wheels of Faith riders worked with Lighthouse Assembly in Hill City for some ministry at the water booth. Men, women, and children came to the booth for the free items that were being given away. It was a move of God on the streets of Hill City at the Sturgis Rally. His team led 253 to the Lord, and the host church, Lighthouse Assembly in Hill City, led 7 more to the Lord Friday night after the team headed home.

The people impacted by this outreach include 32 states and 6 foreign countries. Thanks to Lighthouse AG (Hill City, SD), Capital Christian Center (Montgomery, Al), Seneca AG (Seneca, SC), Ridge AG (Davenport, Fl), and Faith Assembly (Orlando, Fl), for sending teams to work the booth this year.

Is this ministry valid? The 253 that found Christ this week think so. Thank you for your support of Chaplain Scott Bush.

  The pastor at Hill City S.D. writes, "Once again thank you for the ministry of your team at our "Water Ministry Tent.  You and your team are some of the finest men and women of God...How can I praise God for the good things he has done in this last week? His love and mercy, grace and forgiveness were active here to touch lives...."  

The team leads 3 to the Lord                Blaine came back this year to thanks us.      The water booth next to an open bar

Wheels of Faith and the Red and Gold.
  In July
, Chaplain Scott and his Wheels of Faith MM team put on a benefit for a biker who was injured, and bedridden, in an accident many months ago. WOF and the Banditos worked together along with other clubs to raise money for the downed biker's family. It was a great time of building relationships and sharing the love of Jesus to everyone there. The gospel message was shared with the 250 folks that were there along with a prayer of salvation. 15 WOF members from Florida, 2 members from South Carolina, and dozens of WOF members from Alabama participated in the event, which was a huge success. This event was held at an Assembly of God church!

75 Saved at Biker Rally in Panama City, Florida.

Many people (75) were saved at Panama City Beach's Thunder Beach. We were at two locations sharing using our teams. The above right picture shows our team sharing the gospel with four people at a time. We were set up at a motorcycle shop as shown in the picture on the left. The other team was doing a bike wash on the other side of town wining the lost there. It was incredible!

 

 

5th Annual A/G Rally

The 5th Annual Rally was held in North Alabama. There were many churches in attendance. We our team taught 8 training sessions on ministering to bikers, operating a small group ministry, safety and many other topics relevant to a church based ministry. We had some incredible rides and a great time of fellowship. The rally was held at Springville camp in Alabama, and sponsored in part by the Alabama District Council.

PowWow, Fort Meade FL

2008 PowWow had an attendance of around 2500 boys. Wheels of Faith MM had a ride in with six churches participating. The boys were very excited about seeing all the bikes at the event. The golf cart, followed by the Compass Chopper led the parade around the loop for all the boys to see. It created a lot of excitement for these boys, who are changing the world through Royal Rangers!

 
Pastor Ed Keaton received his WOF patch with his team!
 

 

December  2007

Mobile Alabama Car Show

Chaplain Scott worked with City Church in Mobile Alabama at their car show at a local mall. Chaplain Scott had the Custom Chopper there and every person who came over to see the Chopper that was not serving God gave their lives to Jesus Christ. One little girl that really touched his heart is pictured on the left. This new little saint is wearing a salvation bracelet that she received after praying. Bracelets were made by the missionettes of Faith Assembly in Orlando, Florida. Thank you missionettes!  http://4kids.ag.org/library/missionettes/index.cfm

Royal Ranger Round Up (below)

Chaplain Scott recently spoke at the Section 5 Royal Ranger Round Up meeting in Paisley, Florida. Here young boys gather to experience the outdoors, fellowship with each other and are encouraged and challenged by teaching. Chaplain Scott shared this year both evenings. Many boys were filled with the Holy Spirit that weekend around the campfire!

Montgomery Alabama Toyland Express Outreach (below)

This year in Montgomery, the Toyland Express, put on by the Wheels of Faith MM chapter at Capital Christian Center, was a hug success. The ride started at the local Harley Davidson dealership and ended at Capital Christian Center. There were near 125 bikes and even more people. Hundreds of dollars were raised for children in the area, along with an enormous amount of gifts. A gospel message was given at the conclusion, and six people gave their lives to Jesus Christ. Others received prayer and other ministry. It was a huge success, and many decided to start attending the local motorcycle friendly churches in the area.

Sturgis Rally 177 Saved !!

     Sturgis South Dakota was an incredible outreach. We partnered with Lighthouse Assembly in Hill City SD. 177 people were saved! It was a sovereign move of God in the Black Hills. In the four days that we worked the booth, so many people were getting saved so fast that we could hardly keep up with the crowd. We had to add an extra table for filling out commitment cards to move the newly saved bikers away of the front of the booth to make room for the others behind them waiting to pray the salvation prayer!

     People from across America came to the rally, including us. Above is a picture of the team traveling in the church bus with five motorcycles on the 20 foot trailer. We had prayed and fasted for weeks, and we were believing God for the Holy Spirit to move on people's hearts, and that is what He did. On man, John, was sick in bed for three days, and he said that God woke him up and told him to go down to Main Street to the water booth and he will be healed. John got dressed and came to the water booth. Craig, one of our team members from Jacksonville, led him to the Lord, and then he prayed for his healing. John was instantly healed! We saw John two days later and he was perfectly well. John said that coming to the water booth was the highlight of his week, receiving Christ and being healed. Below is his picture with Craig (right).

John Saved and Healed at Water Booth.

Everyone was looking at the Chopper!  We then directed them to the water booth, and they got saved! The picture on the upper right is three people getting saved. Craig is helping one lady fill out her commitment card (left), Dan is leading another one in the salvation prayer (center), and Gerry from Lighthouse AG is sharing Jesus with a third (right).

 

      

One after another, after another, and on, and on it went. We could hardly keep up with the crowds! Sit on the chopper, drink the water, give your heart to Jesus Christ, fill out the commitment card, and have a changed life forever!

Entire families were getting saved together. Three and four people at a time were praying the salvation prayer. People were weeping in the streets as God was moving in their lives. Pictures can not accurately display what we saw God do in the streets of Hill City!

Each card was folded in half and set in a pew as if it was a person. This is what 177 commitment cards look like. This church seats 114. The other 63 cards had to be placed in the isle and out the door because there was no room for them to be seated. Image what a local outreach in your community would do to your church.

Sally and I gave away our daughter to a wonderful young man named Robbie. Bryna and Robbie were married in Orlando. Bryna and Robbie have been friends for many years and they finally were married after both of them completed their bachelor's degrees at the University of Central Florida. This has been an exciting time for our family and a transition that we have never experienced before. They are a great couple and Bryna has always been a princess, and it really shows forth in this picture of their wedding day! Congratulations!

 

In August our team will leave for Sturgis, South Dakota for the world famous Sturgis Rally. We are in a prayer and fasting time believing God for an incredible harvest of souls. We have 6 churches working together as a team at this event! Pray with us for souls at this biker rally!

Alabama Ministry

We have returned from our Alabama trip. Capital Christian Center in Montgomery held a car show and bike blessing at their church. It was a great success. There were classic and muscle cars, along with motorcycles. There were about 225 people in attendance fellowshipping together. Trophies and prizes were handed out and then I shared the Word of God with them. It was an incredible event, this being the second year for their event. I also was blessed to share at Cathedral of the Cross near Birmingham. This was a great trip to Alabama with 12 people that we know of making decisions for Christ, and 8 receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit!

Bike Week Fish Bowl Outreach

March brings Bike Week 2007 and the Fish Bowl Outreach. We have a fish bowl with fish and scenes in the water. There is a criminal, anger and violence, and abuse scenes with backgrounds of bail bonds, and a jail. We pump water out of the fish bowl and run it through a Vortex Voyager water purifier, and the water coming out is pure. We compare it to living water that Jesus gives us, and we share about the living water. People are open to the message and we are ministering to people at the Harley Davidson dealer where we are set up. On this 10 day outreach, people made commitments for Jesus, they were prayed for at the booth, they heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We gave out DVDs, Bibles, and other valuable items. Info on this amazing disaster relief water purifier Voyager Vortex here..

Florida F-3 Tornado Disaster Relief

Feb 2 a killer tornado ripped through Lady Lake Florida. There was no warning, and many people died in this storm. Chaplain Scott and Rich Haines (President of Oxford Wheels of Faith chapter) were there for disaster assistance. With chain saw in hand we helped several families with tree removal. One lady named Barbara was trying to free her garage door that was jammed with branches. Once free, the door was opened and she was able to leave in her vehicle. While talking to Barbara, last week was her first time in church. Her house was barely touched, and gave glory to God, who delivered her from disaster. We stopped and helped several people in the disaster area and prayed for those we met.

    

While working at Rob and Yvonne's house there were about 50 inmates from a local prison that were assisting in the cleanup. These inmates were moved with compassion as they assisted, and over and over they kept saying "we are so sorry".

   

We are believing God for a Outreach Command Center that will include a 5th Wheel and a 4 door truck. This Command Center will be used for disaster relief, and it will be used for outreaches at rallies across America.  We have a contact for a serious discount on this outreach vehicle. If you would like to be a part of purchasing this trailer or truck, contact Chaplain Scott!

 

Chaplain Scott and National Road Captain Plan Major Outreach in Panama
City

Chaplain Scott and Jeff met Cathedral of the Cross Pastors and leaders for a major outreach in Panama City that will be held in May. There are 100,000 bikers that attend this rally, and we are working on being right in the center of the action with live music, give away items, food, water and street evangelism. We will be staying in Laguna Beach Christian Retreat, which is just a few miles from the rally. Panama City First A/G will be assisting with the rally, and we have already met with some of their best people also. Below is a picture from the beach where the rally will be held, but hopefully it will be warmer than it was in this picture...20 degrees that morning! Join us at the Rally and stay at the Laguna Beach Christian Retreat.
