A sovereign God provides another Divine Appointment

I had an ad on Craig's List to sell a treadmill. A man named Bob from Lebanon County called today and made an appointment to come and check out the treadmill. After he arrived I showed him all the the functions of the machine and we ended up in a discussion about being in shape and staying in shape. I mentioned that winter is tough on me because I get inactive, but during the warmer weather I referee high school soccer. The conversation continued and it tuns out that his son and my son played soccer together at East Stroudsburg University. His son was year behind mine. We shared some memories of games and events that occurred and after loading the treadmill into his vehicle, I had the opportunity to share a Gospel of John with him and invite him to go to Heaven when he dies. God is incredible....

How the Lord used us in February, 2015

Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

Although we had four MAD Live Events on the calendar for February, we were only able to do two. We completed two in western PA and two were scheduled for Massachusetts on the 21st and 22nd. With the effects of the storms, they needed to be rescheduled to future dates. At the two Live Events that we were able to complete, we were blessed to see one young lady give her life to Christ. It never gets old seeing God work in people’s hearts!

Next month Pastor Ron Woudenberg and I will be doing our annual trip to Daytona Bike Week to share Christ with the people we meet and connect with. I’ll also be doing two M.A.D. Live Events while we are in Florida.

2015 SMOKY MOUNTAINS MOTORCYCLE ADVENTURE

We have booked the dates for our 8th Annual Smoky Mountains Motorcycle Adventure. They are June 14-18. We’ll be riding the world famous Tail of the Dragon (318 curves in 11 miles), The Cherohala Skyway, the Devil’s Triangle and others. Please let us know if you or someone else is interested. Early notice to secure appropriate lodging is appreciated!

2015 ULTIMATE ADVENTURE TRIP TO UTAH

We have cancelled our 2015 trip as we did not have enough people signed up and lodging became in issue. If you’re interested in a trip in 2016, we’ll need to know this fall when reservations need to be made.

Important Reminder! - We now have the first hour of the MAD Live Event on our website. Anyone can watch it to get a feel for who we are and how we teach. The entire MAD Live Event is available for pastors to view if they need to check it out before inviting us to come and teach. It is available on Vimeo and requires a password. Please let church leaders know about this as it could open doors for some more MAD Live Events in your area. The full training is NOT for group viewing.

PRAYER REQUESTS

• For our 2015 schedule to fill

• We have now had radio spots running on Word FM since the beginning of February. We just received our first phone call as a result of the spots. Praise God! We humbly ask that you make a daily commitment to pray for the success of the Non-profit radio spots. These represent our biggest opportunity for exposure. Please pray that the spots generate phone calls and MAD Live Event bookings.

• Pastor Ron Woudenberg and I will be towing our motorcycles in a trailer to Columbia, SC on March 4th. We’ll then be riding the next ~400 miles to Florida on the motorcycles and we’ll be riding on them until Sunday, March 15th when we’ll be back in the truck headed home. We ask for your daily prayers for safety, dry, warm weather, and that we will faithfully share the love of Jesus Christ with those whom He connects us with. I will do my best to keep you updated on facebook and on the Blog on the ministry website.

Love in Christ,

Cathy and Don

MAD Live Event in Bethel Park, PA today

I taught the MAD Live Event today in Bethel Park, PA. Quite a few churches were represented. A group drove all the way up from Columbus, OH to attend! They had to leave at about 6 AM to make it in time for the training. Another man in a wheelchair came from quite a distance as well (I'm sure he came in a van). I am anxious to see new doors open in these other churches. Thanks to a special friend, Amanda Priano and husband for starting the process which ended up in a Live Event here.
