We have scheduled a date for our next shipment to Guatemala. It is July 3. As usual, I am very behind and will be putting in some long hours this week as I make final preparations. PLEASE PRAY for focus and stamina. THANKS!!!

Inspiration Riders

Our praise band from the Inspiration Riders (CMA) played five times this weekend; three times at the Honda Hoot in Knoxville and twice at the motorcycle trials event at Hickory Hills (just outside Lenoir City). We had a few technical difficulties, but all went well otherwise. It was a very busy weekend, but a LOT of fun.

Personal News

Being in two bands was too time consuming, so I’ve resigned from Steam Shovel. I’m still in the Inspiration Riders praise band. We’re performing five times this weekend. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning we will play at the Honda Hoot at Chilhowee Park in Knoxville. Saturday night and Sunday morning we play at the motorcycle trials event in Loudon County (Location: 922 Highway 70 West).

Monday, June 16, is our monthly Inspiration Riders chapter meeting. Everyone is welcome. Location: Knoxville Harley-Davidson on Lovell Road. Third floor in the HOG room. Meeting starts at 7:pm.

Prayer Request

Please pray for my friend Rick. He has cancer. I don't know a lot of details. He's on cemo. He also has diabetes and heart problems. He and his wife Kay have two children, Clay (age 8), and Holly (14). Rick has one grown daughter from a previous marriage. They're like family to us.

The good news is that they are all believers. Should the Lord choose to take Rick home we all know that we will see him again.

Melissa and I are going to Chattanooga this weekend to be with them. Please pray for our trip, and that we can be a blessing to them.

TENT REVIVAL; update w/photo

By “Bodega” Bruce White
[May 10, 2008] We had a great turn out for the Tent Revival sponsored by the Trinity Warriors (Athens TN chapter, CMA). There were about 100 people in attendance. We had a lot of great music, which included the band from our own Inspiration Riders, a traditional string band from Chattanooga, a husband and wife duet, and the “one man band” of Mike Crofts of “Step of Faith Ministries.” After the music the President of the Trinity Warriors, Alan Bohannon, delivered the message. Food and fellowship followed.

Thank you, Trinity Warriors, for inviting the Inspiration Riders to be part of this great event.

A RIDE TO REMEMBER

By “Bodega” Bruce White

Is it too early to be planning a ride for October? Not if your destination is ARIZONA!

On October 12, Living Water Ministries and Naco Baptist Church of Arizona will host their First Annual Biker Sunday, and we’re all invited.

“Spider” Tom and I will leave on Saturday, October 4. We plan to visit the Grand Canyon on the way out and arrive in Naco on or around October 9. Pastor Tim Scarbrough (who spoke at the Inspiration Riders chapter meeting in May) plans for us to visit some of the Biker hang outs in and around Naco to invite folks to come out for Biker Sunday. Pastor Tim has also offered to put us up in the Church, where they have a kitchen and showers. There may even be a short ride into old Mexico. On the way home we’ll stop in Hatfield Arkansas for the annual “Changing of the Colors” rally (Oct. 15-19).

Come ride with us. You don’t have to be an Inspiration Rider to join us for all or part of this ride. The plan is to ride about six hundred miles a day and stay in cheap motels at night. It’s going to be a great adventure, so change that oil, grease up that chain (if you’ve got ‘em), air out the sleeping bag, and join us for the ride of a lifetime!

If you would like to ride with us, or if you have questions, write to Inspiration Riders News, P.O. Box 344, Louisville, TN, 37777.

[Ride at your own risk. DOT helmet, motorcycle license, and insurance required for all riders. Cages welcome. You’re responsible for all your own expenses. To learn more about Living Water Ministries go to http://www.livingwateraz.com/ ]
