Fall is here, although in the panhandle of Florida, that can mean very little as far as cooler weather is concerned.

Let me encourage you to check our new blog space at http://www.prophetsofgod.net   You will be getting a short newsletter once a month to tell you to check the blog space, but the blog will be added to often.  Please check it regularly.

When this letter goes out we will have had the Thunder Beach Fall Rally in Panama City Beach, and Biketoberfest will be starting in Daytona Beach..  For those north of us, weather is starting to deteriorate, and the bikes are going into storage, and other vehicles are coming out.  What vehicles will depend on how far north you are. 

October 21-24 Christian International was the 22nd annual International Gathering of the Apostles and Prophets. 

Hurricanes Hanna, Gustav, and Ike have past us by, thank you Jesus.  I only know one person who has relatives affected by the storm, and that was in Orange, Texas.  One house was fine, another had two trees on it, and unfortunately, the third home was destroyed.  Seems like you don't hear much from the national media about the folks who lost everything in the floods earlier this year along the Mississippi River and all the rivers that feed it further north. The seem to have lost interest in them.  I guess it is not sensational enough at this time.  Katrina was still in the  headlines, but now Ike will move into the top spot for attention.  Continue to pray for all those who have lost everything, as well as friends and loved ones.  Pray that peace will return to their thoughts.  If they were in the worst of the storm's fury, they will remember it forever, and unless God helps them to recover, they will relive the terror for years to come.

I have started a blog attached to the newsletter.  I am trying to make the newsletter a bit shorter, but still want to get out what I am thinking about and what stirs my spirit.  Check here http://wwwrophetsofgod.net  for access.

Almost every Thunder Beach Rally I see some of my brothers from Seed of Abraham MM http://soamc.org/alabama/ at the Frank Brown Park venue.  They are a great bunch of guys to talk to.  I cruised past their website the other day and I like what it said:
Our Orders From On High
St. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:
and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
What a great scripture for all of us.  Are you going, teaching, baptizing, mentoring them in the ways of our God and
Savior?  Just another thing to think about as you traverse the land that God has given to us to conquer and occupy,

Let us do our best not to become "inbred" in our outlook at other Motorcycle Ministries and secular groups.  How
can you reach out to enlarge our community of Christian Bikers?  My brothers in the local CMA chapter have a ride
every month.  You do not have to be a member of CMA to ride with them.  They are a great bunch of guys and would
welcome your presence.  One year I rode back from Bike Week in Daytona Beach with our local president of Tribe
of Judah.  He had a birthday party for his son at 2 and I just needed to rest up a bit before Worship Team practice
Sunday morning before church.  We had a great ride on the back roads from Daytona to Panama City Beach.  You
may not see your brothers and sisters in other groups that often, but you will always remember the ride and the
fellowship.  Reach out to other secular groups as well.  CMA has a great reputation with rally's all over the country. 
they are respected because they help and are seen as honest Christians who won't steel the entry fee's they collect.  The
Tribe of Judah has a target outreach and use their Drag Bikes to witness at race tracks.  Come out of the "us four and
no more" attitude and break out and reach the world.  Others are doing it, and so can you!

I got the following report from Big Steve concerning a recent run they made:
