| Thinking About Joining "Loud Pipes For Christ M/M" |
We need to make sure we fit like a well oiled machine!
We have experienced individuals that are very enthusiastic and anxious about joining a bike ministry. This is not a bad trait, but if you have not prayed about your ministry and know the individuals you are ministering with, you might be making a quick decision that will result in being ask to join the program or leave the program. Loud Pipes For Christ M/M has a 6 month "DISCIPLE" period with our group. The 6 month must include three months of our evangelistic ministry. (May June July) Our ultimate goal is for our membership to establish their own ministry and we will be going into all the world proclaiming God's Word to his sheep.
Some might find their calling in the local chapter and wish to ride and serve in the present ministry. The important fact is that an individual serves our Lord and Savior not just wear a patch. As we go into the world we must always remember the Patch does not make the man but the man makes the Patch.
You need to be able to answer the following questions truthfully:
1. I am active in my local Church for the last 6 months.
2. I have a ministry in my local Church.
3. I am willing to abstain from all appearance of evil.
4. My minister will give a written recommendation regarding your ministry.
5. Your church will support our ministry in prayer and ministering.

Please Consider This Before Commiting!
The "Loud Pipes For Christ M/M" is a ministry for our Lord and Savior. You might be interested in a group that wears a patch and never requires any service, or responsibility from its members. You might be to busy, your work schedule does not permit your participation, or you just might not be interested in a working ministry. Therefore if any of these problems seem to affect you, I would encourage your searching for a group that meets your needs.
This ministry is not to take the place of your obligations in your local church, but enhance your financial, physical and spiritual responsibilities. A member of Loud Pipes For Christ M/M should have a strong spiritual focus in their local church. As a group we also expect your local church to support our ministry. The two bodies of Christ should function as one. Make sure your church is in agreement with our ministry before pursuing membership.
We encourage each individual interested in this ministry to ride with us one summer to find out if this is where God is calling them. Once you become a member your participation needs to be consistent, and to the honor of our Lord and Savior. In the event you become lethargic in the Loud Pipes For Christ M/M you will be considered inactive and if this continues your are expected to surrender your colors to the organization. This is not a lone wolf organization we need the collective support of each member.
You need to witness to individuals when you go to non-sectarian functions. This does not mean putting literature on a bike and expecting individuals to remove them. Bikers do not want anyone bothering their bike and they do not bother other bikers ride. You need to be able to take a personal interest and talk to them about your Lord and Savior. We were saved to serve not sit. We also need to go easy on our past life and stress how God has made us a new creation. One clear indication of a true Christian is their passion for lost souls.
Please consider this information in love and if you are only interested in the patch, there are other organizations that will meet your needs. Prayerfully consider being a part of Loud Pipes For Christ M/M.
In Christ,
Rev. Ron "Big Daddy" Williams
