Bikers on the road

Right now I am at home for one deserved day off and I am actually thinking about taking it easy and spend some quality time with The Lord and my family before it is time to get out on the road again. Last wednesday me and my son Sebastian took off with our ministry van and our first stop were in Mouhijärvi, outside Tampere. There we attended a Biker Church event (Motoristikirkko) as I was invited to speak and sing there. I have to admit that I was a bit sceptic when we arrived but I got happy and blessed when all the 160 bikes and around 300 people showed up. The stage was something different but it worked out more than well. It is not every day you sit and play guitar on a car trailer. I am thankful for the door God opened to me and it was wonderful meeting many nice people, brothers and sisters.

From there we continued south and slept the night in Hämeenlinna. The following morning I visited Päivä Oy and we made up a time schedule for the album release. Please be patient, the album will be out this summer. Right now we are releasing a completely new single for Bikers with the title Bikers on The Road. It will feature two new songs from the new album and two rockin' classings from the Ride To Freedom album. It will be out for the Bikers on The Road event next weekend at Orisberg in Isokyrö. 

From Hämeenlinna we drove down to Helsinki and took the afternoon off and checked out town. The weather was great and Helsinki IS a nice town in the summertime. We also got to listen to our friend Mikko who played with "Stadin Juhlaorkesteri" at Espan lava. Usually we never visit Helsinki without hooking up with brother Linus Mickelsson and we had the honor to meet him as well this wonderful day in may. Towards the night we drove to Porvoo and checked in at Soltorp that is a retreat place owned by Missionskyrkan i Finland. We met more nice people and had a great time. 

The following day, friday may 27th 2011 was another wonderful day given to us by Gods Amazing Grace. We hung around Soltorp and went downtown to find a place to eat. I did a wrong turn and came down to the water and while doing a u-turn I saw a man I seen before. It took me some seconds to realize that it was my brother Kurt Allen. We had been speaking about him the night before and it was awesome to see how GOD led us together this day. You who know me also know that I love and respect the older generation. Kurt is a wonderful pentecostal brother who also is known for many good works. I had a really good time sitting down with him right there on the street and pray together.

Later the same night I was speaking at a youth night at the local Pentecostal Church. Not too many people came but I felt that GOD really had something to say to those who came. Another wonderful night in the presence of the Lord. According to Sebastian I said "one more song" for times before I stepped down but GOD was with me and it felt so great to sing about JESUS that friday night. I love churches where the sound system and the sound engineers are right. It gives more room for The Holy Spirit to fill His temple.

USA Ambassadors arrived

Saturday we got up early, too early if you ask Sebastian. We drove to the Helsinki-Vantaa airport and there we picked up two of our guests from The Ambasssadors For Jesus Christ Motorcycle Ministry. It was our Pastor, Founder and Leader Hollywood Joe (Guebara) and Brother Cele Monreal who landed first. Before we picked up two more Ambassadors, Brother Victor Flores and Brother Samuel Eby we took a ride downtown Helsinki and got something to eat. It felt really good to welcome these brothers to my country. I have visited them three times in Texas and they always been taking too good care of me so now you need to pray for me so I can do the same towards them. I am glad, honored, blessed and highly favored to have them here. From the airport we drove to Soltorp in Porvoo where they had a chance to rest before it was time to go to the Pentecostal Church fo a special night called Hard Gospel Cafe'.

The night was off the hook. Many came and it was such great to welcome another new member to the Ambassadors For Jesus Christ Motocycle Ministry Europe. I am glad that Pastor Joe and the Brothers prayed over our new brother Pasi Marttinen who will be located in the Helsinki-Vantaa area. It is such amazing to see how GOD is sending us new members with the right fire and the right attitude, a hunger to serve the Lord and other people. I gave a short version of my testimony as well as introduced our American guests before it was time for Brother Cele to preach about grace. He had a wonderful and powerful message about God's Amazing Grace and how we are cleansed by the blood of Jesus. After the meeting many people came to the altar and The Ambassadors For Jesus Christ got to lay hand on and pray for and with many people. Right from the start of this two week long tour together we were flowing in the miraculous. Signs, wonders and miracles shall follow those who believe.

Heading north

We did not get too many hours of sleep before it was time to get up on sunday morning. We got up at 6 am as we had a long long way to drive and a long day to go. On our way to the Biker Rally in Haapavesi we did a short stop in Jyväskylä and said hi to me biological father. It was the third time I met him and it was the first time Sebastian met his biological grandpa. It felt good and I saw that they both were happy to meet each other.

Finally in Haapavesi we entered in and soon it was time for me to give my testimony and play some music. PT Juntumaa from Gospel Riders had already preached and we introduced ourselves as Ambassadors For Jesus Christ and had a great time. More miracles, signs and wonders followed during prayers after the meeting. From here we drove with two cars towards Kalajoki for the night meeting at Vapaaseurakunta. Pastor Joe got to ride in brother Juha Jyrkkäs Mercedes Benz.

The meeting in Kalajoki was aired out over the internet and it was really a good night. At least one person got saved and many received prayers. It was my third time in this church and I love my brothers and sisters there. So wonderful people and it is a good church. Soon after the meeting we drove towards Kokkola and I left my American guests together with brother Reijo Ruotsalainen. They went to rest up at his summer house and me and Sebastian drove home and got here about 12:30 am. I did not have any problems to fall a sleep after attending two meetings and driving almost 800 kilometers in 18 hours.

I am thankful for these days and as I mentioned earlier signs shall follow those who believe. I have seen many signs since our brothers arrived and as we are a family of Ambassadors being on the road together we see more signs than being out there alone. To be it is a privilege to be an Amabssador For Jesus Christ.

More Ambassador meetings this week

This wednesday Pastor Joe is going to preach at my church, Kvevlax Missionskyrka in Kvevlax. On thursday we head out to Orisberg to get prepared for our Bikers On The Road event next weekend. We start with a meeting friday night at 7PM and we get up early in the morning for praise and worship followed with some Bible studies by Brother Cele Monreal. Activities during the day and more teachings by brother Cele in the afternoon and on saturday night we have a concert and a release party for the new single. Sunday we continue with two meetings where our brother Tom Ingvesgård is going to preach and on sunday night we have a Bikers Night at Frank Mangs Center in Närpes at 7PM.

The coming week will be a happening week, so will also the following week be. We are not just Bikers On The Road, We are Ambassadors For Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:20.

See you on the road!
