• October 13-15 - MBBF Fall Ride & Rally

  Missouri Baptist Bikers…

  Our fall ride will be taking place in historic Hannibal MO this year alongside the mighty Mississippi River, and I hope you can join us Oct. 13-15! 

  This year’s ride and rally will be especially appealing to our ladies as downtown Hannibal is hosting their annual “Folklife” festival which is an “old-timey” festival of crafts, antiques, music, and shopping for all.  Because of this we have booked a block of rooms at the Best Western which overlooks the downtown area and is within easy walking distance to all the festivities. 

  The Best Western has also promised preferred parking and rooms that will be motorcycle friendly and accessible.  Because of this the rates are not cheap, but they have given us a good group price for that weekend… Non-smoking double rooms are $230.00 plus tax for both nights (Thursday and Friday).  However, these rooms are not available for long and are on a first come first served basis.  Rooms are only being held until Oct. 1st  but please act quickly if you want one of these rooms.

  Bobby Parker is our host for this event, and is arranging our lodging as well.  There are several other motels in the area if you’d like to find somewhere cheaper to stay… but if you want to stay at the Best Western Downtown you need to request your room by contacting Bob… His contact is listed below.  Also, Bobby and his wife Denise has invited our whole gang to come to their home for a cook-out on Thursday evening once we all get in to town.  This will be our “Rally” (but we’re calling it a Round-up), and they are providing the meal!  This will be a great time of fellowship, fun, and food that you won’t want to miss.  Please let Bobby know if you’ll be attending the round-up when you call him to reserve your room.  Their church will provide bus transportation for our group Thursday evening from the motel to their country home.

  Please call or reply with any questions… We realize the lodging is more than what we usually pay, but considering the festival, the location, and that the Parkers are providing dinner – It should be affordable for most.  Hope to see you this fall in Hannibal if not before!

• Bluff's Biker Church & Thunder Update

  Greetings in the Lord from Bluff’s Biker Church:  I want to share with all who have supported us in prayer and otherwise how wonderfully successful Thunder on the Mountain was.  The Christian band “Bearing Armor” was outrageously good.  I would encourage you to check them out on FaceBook, and consider booking them for a concert or as support for your event.  Billy Rivers’ testimony and message demonstrated the awesome power of God to save, and the amazing power of the Holy Spirit to change lives. 

  I was unable to get an accurate count of how many attended, but we served more than 50 people at lunch and supper on Saturday.  Some folks came as far away as Boone, Iowa and Springfield, Missouri.  Billy and I rode to First Baptist Church in Gower that following Sunday where Billy brought the message.  About 18 or so bikers joined us there.

  Thursday before the event, Bluff’s Biker Church met for dinner and prayer.  More than 20 participated.  Friday evening we had a cook out for those who arrived early and lodged at God’s Mountain or the Lewis and Clark State Park.  There were 20-25 in attendance.  Johnny Williams brought the devotion.

  There was a great deal of encouragement to have this event again next year, and so I ask you join Bluff’s Biker Church as we begin even now seeking the Lord’s guidance.

  We cannot thank you enough for the prayers, financial assistance, and the investment by many for the personal time invested.  The return on our efforts was at least 100 fold.  I pray the Lord God will bless you as you have been such a blessing to us.!
