THE CAUSE:
All funds raised will be used toward the purchase of motorcycles/dirt bikes to enable indigenous Christian leaders to reach their own people with the love and message of Jesus. Transportation is a strategic tool for world evangelism. Most indigenous pastors working in jungles, mountain villages, and distant towns are limited to walking. A motorcycle/dirt bike will help an indigenous pastor expand their outreach "unto the uttermost parts of the earth". (Acts 1:8)
THE GOAL:
Provide motorcycles to indigenous pastors-cost is between $1,500-$3,000 per bike.
THE NEXT RIDE:
Check back for 2021 date
Testimonies from 2 pastors who received motorcycles.

2020 Motorcycle Ride
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Once again, we are blown away and reminded that God's plans are MUCH larger than our plans - even during a pandemic! The record-breaking grand total for the 2020 "Jon Just Get ER Done" Memorial Motorcycle Ride is $60,608!!!!!!! These funds will allow 49 motorcycles to be purchased and presented to indigenous pastors and Christian leaders on March 20th during the graduation ceremony at Africa Theological Seminary in Kitale, Kenya. Transportation is a critical need in Africa and these pastors will use their new motorcycles to expand their ministries as they share the love of Jesus with their own people. Each pastor will also receive, in addition to their new motorcycle, two helmets, two reflective vests, a tank of gas, a heavy-duty cable lock system, and insurance for a year. All motorcycles are purchased in country through Honda Kenya in Kitale to allow easy access to parts, shipping costs are reduced, the local economy benefits, and unpredictable border crossings are avoided. The good news of Jesus is exploding across the continent of Africa and these motorcycles are playing an important role in spreading the "Word"!
Since Jon's death, we have had a huge hole in our hearts. We never dreamed that God would use Africa and these motorcycles to help us figure out how to keep living in spite of that hole. We are so blessed that God is allowing us to see tangibly how He is redeeming Jon's death and using our tragedy and grief to bless many in Africa. God is choosing to continue Jon's life to impact others for eternity through these pastors and their motorcycle's. Jon's legacy continues to be written.....
Plans are prayerfully underway for the 2021 Jon "Just Get ER Done" Memorial Ride which will be taking place on Sunday September 26th, 2021. The ride will depart from McKnight Park located at 110400 Pioneer Trail, Chaska, MN 55318. Registration begins at 12 noon. In place of a standard registration fee, freewill donations will be taken. The 100-mile ride will depart from the park at 1pm returning to the park at approximately 4pm for a short ministry update followed by a picnic dinner. We hope that you will join us for the ride and/or dinner as we celebrate Jon's life while raising funds for a cause that reflects two of the passions of Jon's heart - motorcycles and Jesus!
