BEHIND THE SENSE:
Iron Horse Ministries is always on the go, virtually 24/7, following the leading of the Lord to, ". . . go out into all the world . . ." (Matthew 28:19). As such, we are constantly looking for new opportunities to serve, to share, and to show the unconditional love of God for ALL of His creation.
If there is something we can do for you, or someone you know, then please, let us know how we can help.
RUNS / RALLIES:
The
calendar link to the left, is a cool tool for you to use. When used
together with your local publications,
it should help you to determine which events would be the best for you to go to.
So please, feel free to use it, as much as you want.
We who wear the I.H.M. patch,
use this link, as well as many other kinds of publications, to prayerfully
help us to determine were God would want us to go. We go out (mostly two-by-two) to ride and/or work all kinds of events.
It doesn't matter what they are, we go wherever, and whenever God leads us. So watch for
us. Who knows, we may be on the next bikes you see.
MULTI - MEDIA
PRESENTATIONS:
Multi-media presentations have been brought to many different congregations, as well as to other groups. We use these presentations to help shatter the myths about bikers that Hollywood has so carefully created. We've discovered, that many people still think that, 'Everyone that rides a motorcycle is affiliated with a certain motorcycle club, and that they all ride a certain brand of bike'. And of course, that's just not true. We also have presentations that are designed to help teach, train and equip congregations on how to reach out and minister properly to this often feared and rejected segment of our society.
We are always looking for any opportunity to bring these presentations. It is our hope that they will minister to the people, both in the church as well as the surrounding neighborhood. So if you think your church or group (or one that you might know of) would like Iron Horse Ministries to bring a presentation to them, then please contact us and we'll work it out. Or if you're in the area, and you would like to come along with us as we bring one, then let us know that as well. It would be great to have you hook-up with us.
From the very beginning, God has made it clear, that He wants to use Iron Horse Ministries together with His church, to help create a network of "Biker-Friendly Churches" across this great country. His reasons are simple: 1) To help unify the body of Christ in this nation. 2) To help make it so that when a rider is in need, there's a local Christ centered, Bible believing church body near by, that will minister to them and their families - no strings attached, and no questions asked.
This is a HUGE God sized vision. Even though, God may have some of us visit many different churches, we can't visit them all. We can't do it alone - as it should be. So that means, we need your help. If you know of a Christ centered church in your area that is biker-friendly (or wants to be), then please let us know. Just give us the name of the church and their contact information, and we'll take it from there. Neither you, nor the church, needs to be active members of Iron Horse Ministries. All that's really needed, is a willingness to help build bridges to Christ. Thank you for your participation in such a huge undertaking. We're really looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yes. Absolutely. If there are riders in your area, then a motorcycle ministry could be a very effective outreach.
However, before you jump into this kind of ministry, let us ask you a few important questions first. Do you believe that God wants you to start a motorcycle outreach ministry from your church? Do you know where to start, and what to do first? Are you aware of the subtle nuances of the biker culture? Does this seem like a lot? Or does it seem like a doable kind of thing?
You may ask: Do I need a motorcycle to start this kind of ministry in my church? No - but it sure helps a lot. They need to know that you understand them, and what they do. A motorcycle is sort of like a key, that helps to unlock their hearts.
If you feel that this is what God wants for you and your local church body, then please contact us, we would be honored to assist you in building bridges to Christ.
Yes, of course you can. If you are considering starting an Iron Horse Ministries chapter in your area, then please know that we are truly honored and grateful that you would even consider such an effort.
It's relatively easy to start an I.H.M. chapter. There's only a few basic things you'll need, before you get started.
First of all, it has been said, that "Nothing of any spiritual significance, can be done apart from prayer."
With that having been said; One of the most important things you'll need, is a clear vision from God. If He's the one calling you to do this, then He will equip you, and give you an exciting peace.
Finally, you'll need to contact us. As stewards of this ministry, we must make sure that everything lines up with God's will and His perfect timing. We also need to make sure that you have all the rest of the information you'll need to get started.
