THIS testimony / tip was sent to us by Bob Feis of the Yakima Valley Christ Riders # 226 , out of Washington State .
For several years we have had a vision of putting together a BBQ trailer , going to events , and ministering to people ’ s needs for food , both physical and spiritual .
The great thing about a BBQ trailer is you can pull into an event and be cooking in five or ten minutes . Recently , one of our members blessed our chapter with a great deal on a gas grill .
I got it home , put it together , and then started cutting , welding , and bolting it to a small 4 ’ X 4 ’ trailer . I installed a small propane tank and the necessary tie-downs , etc ., to haul the stuff needed to cook and serve hotdogs and burgers . And , yes , I tow it with my bike . It ’ s actually pretty light until you add all the ice chests and containers needed .
BBQ TRAILER
The maiden voyage was the very next Saturday ; several of us rode down to Hebrew ’ s Coffee where the owner feeds lunch to those in need every Saturday and Sunday . Needless to say , the trailer was a hit . We had bikers and ‘ regular ’ people stopping to check out the BBQ . There were lots of positive comments and open doors to talk about Jesus that day .
We also use the trailer as a Run for the Son fundraiser tool . Recently , our chapter met up with two other chapters and a forming chapter . We rode to a bike shop and set up the BBQ trailer . The shop allowed us to cook hamburgers and accept donations for RFS . We raised $ 100 in that one day alone and we had a great time of riding , fellowshipping , and ministering . All told we had a great day and really enjoyed the 260 mile round trip . The trailer towed great .
Every time we stopped , we had people come up wanting to talk about the trailer . What a great opportunity to talk about why we do what we do ; Jesus !
Going down the highway we had a lot of thumbs up and of course every one of those people saw that CMA logo too . This little trailer has turned out to be a great ministry tool . We are ministering to people ’ s needs , having fun , and supporting RFS in the process . CMA 19⎪July 2021⎪www . cmausa . org
