This past weekend Steve Taylor (a colleague at ATS) and I represented Africa Theological Seminary (ATS) by riding in the annual Jon “Just Get ER Done” Memorial Motorcycle Ride in Minnesota. All the funds raised in this ride go to purchasing motorcycles for pastors in Africa. Over the years, this ride has purchased and given away 244 motorcycles. ATS and “Just Get ER Done” ride have had a long partnership with many of these 244 motorcycles going to ATS alumni. You can read more about the ride at jonjust.com/memorial-ride.html. (And no, I did not ride a Harley. Cindy and David borrowed a Kawasaki 650 for me to ride.)
The ride was started by David and Cindy Just after the tragic death of their son Jon in a motorcycle accident. Jon had a profound love for Jesus that was demonstrated in his life and was passionate about motorcycles. So a memorial ride to raise funds to help pastors in Africa is the perfect way to remember Jon. More about Jon’s life is available at: jonjust.com/jons-story.html
Praise God with me for David and Cindy who have allowed God to take the tragic and work it together for good. Praise God for a successful ride with the largest number of motorcycles that they have ever had: 88. Pray that God would bless their obedience and efforts to help African pastors.
