Moped Ministry

     In March 2009 a few members from our church went down to the inner city of St. Louis in response to an add on Craigslist stating that the guy in the city wanted to trade his moped for a kayak. When our members arrived at his house, to their surprise, they met a group of people who are fun loving, living on the fringe and love mopeds and who desperately need Jesus!

     After this first meeting we were invited to ride in their group moped rally two weeks later! Over 50 people showed up for this rally and some relationships were formed.

     After Returning from the rally and telling “moped” stories, the interest in mopeds grew and so did our numbers for the First A/G moped group! Our youngest rider is 17 and our oldest rider is 78! We even began to attract riders to our group who are not attending church anywhere.

     Over the summer the Number of our riders increased and we realized we were a very visible presence in the St. Charles Area. Every time we stopped at gas stations or restaurants, people would approach our group and start asking questions about who we are, where we are from and what we are riding. We realized these chance encounters were God given divine appointments, and we began to minister and pray with people on the streets.

     During the summer after a Wednesday night service several church members got out a few mopeds and rode for a while in the O’Fallon area, what started out to be a lousy ride because one of the mopeds broke down ended up being a huge opportunity to minister to someone. While our members were wrenching on the broken moped, a woman came out of the gas station in tears, (while she was standing in line, she got a phone call telling her that her husband had cancer) they had the privilege of encouraging her with all the healing testimonies that we have encountered here at First A/G O’Fallon and they got to pray for her and healing for her husband.

     There were so many new ministry opportunities because of hitting the streets with mopeds that we don’t have room here to tell them all!

     To close out the riding season and a summer of incredible moped ministry opportunities the First A/G moped group went back to the inner city of St. Louis to minister to the inner city moped group that sparked this ministry. They went into the “Moped Fort” that is owned by the inner city moped group and cook and served an entire meal for the inner city group, more relationships were built and because of our moped group originating from a church, they affectionately named our moped group the “Holy Rollers”, and we ended the night with a combined group moped ride through the city!

     We invite you to become part of the Holy Rollers Moped Ministry, this is an exciting unusual and fun ministry that will change your life! (We can help you find vintage mopeds or scooters if you desire to join!)
