cludes YOU—CHARIOTS of LIGHT!! You’re each such a vital part of this awesome outreach min-istry. Thank you for reaching out. Thank you for being extraordinary!

“Jerry Savelle Ministries is going beyond average! We’re doing more than we did before. We’re giving more than we’ve given before! We’re reaching more than we’ve reached before! We’re not average! Av-erage is said to be as close to the bottom as it is to the top. We don’t want to be average in our efforts to reach hurting people. We don’t want to be an or-dinary ministry; we want to be the extraordinary. The only difference be-tween ordinary and ex-traordinary is that little word extra! Do a little more. Stand a little
longer. Give a little more. Pray a little longer. In other words, you do more than you did before.” Terri Savelle Foy writes the above to our JSMI part-ners and friends recently in the JSMI Adventures in Faith magazine.

AUSTRALIA —Direc to r Goes Down Under
What a blessing! Great
mates!
We believe God has great
plans in Australia for Chariots
of Light! Everyone seems to
be very excited. The fires
have been fanned ...We are
expecting harvest!
Bill and Ginger visited COL
in Australia in February 2010!
What a great trip; God-
ordained with daily encoun-
ters.
There are wonderful COL
mates in that great southland
of the Holy Spirit! There was
much ministry that went forth
as well as fellowship and, of
course, food! Bikers have to
eat, right? We tried veggie
mite, beetroot, snot blocks,
roasted pumpkin, dragon-
fruit, liche, sugar ba-
nanas, longen, achair,
lychea, rambutan, and lamb
chops. All good in spite of
how it sounds. We felt very
much at home even though we
were so far away.
We were blessed to ride a
Harley-Davidson Heritage
Softtail; however, Bill kept
steering into the wrong lane
not being used to driving on
the ―wrong side of the road‖!
Thank God those COL Aus-
sies kept us straight!
We met with each COL Aus-
tralia Leader and met many of
the COL Aussie members.
AUSTRALIA —BENDIGO CHAPTER
We prayed before we left, as
always, except this time ask-
ing God to keep the locusts in
the paddocks (pastures) and
off the roads. (There has been
huge locust plagues in the
area… very painful hit at
100k…). It was so cool, be-
cause we went through the
swarm and Mary-Ann was
praying and had her hands out
commanding them to stay to
the left and right. When we
had a stretch stop, one couple
who was riding with us (who
are unchurched at this stage),
said they saw me holding my
hands out and the it reminded
them of Moses parting the
Red Sea! Needless to say, the
locusts stayed to the left and
right, leaving a clear passage
for us to ride through! (All
except one that hit John just
below the eye! OUCH!). This
story has amazed others and
the conversation has switched
to other testimonies of prayers
answered on our rides!
John & Mary-Ann Pool,
Bendigo Chapter President
Had a wonderful time of rid-
ing and fellowship with the
Bendigo crew to get to
Daylesford, where it was awe-
some to catch up with the
Melbourne members and meet
Bill and Ginger Horn! Had a
fantastic time getting to know
them and laughing at our
communication barriers (who
would‘ve thought the same
language could be soooo dif-
ferent?) discussing the things
of Chariots, of God and of
names of food. (haha)
It was awesome to see their
passion for this Ministry and
the Vision and to be encour-
aged and emboldened (is that
a word? :) and empowered to
do more! It was an honor and
a privilege to spend time with
them and to see their hearts!
At our monthly meeting, we
talked about getting a booth
for Chariots at the next Bike
Expo here in Bendigo. Work-
ing on the details of the now
for next March. We also de-
cided that we would get
Brother jerry‘s book, ―Sharing
Jesus Effectively.‖ We dis-
cussed witnessing and are
planning to investigate further
different place to go. John
shared how we had been to
Terry Savelle Foy and how
her ministry had touched so
many! We then spent time in
god‘s presence… the anoint-
ing was sooo strong we could
barely stand… it was great
because it prepared us for the
phone call to say our eldest
daughter needed emergency
surgery for a life-threatening
condition. Mary-Ann rushed
straight to the hospital and
was able to lay hands on her
and believe she was healed in
that instant, because when she
had surgery, the doctors found
nothing life-threatening at
all!!! We‘re believing this will
be the ting that brings her to
salvation. Praise God!
We had a local ride to Echuca.

John-Claude Denis,
Ontario Chapter
We had two opportunities to
let our lights shine. One was
an invitation to help set up a
ride. They asked my involve-
ment because they wanted
some Christian input! The
other was attending a meeting
with the another local bike
club. The leaders were
amazed that we didn‘t
―preach‖ to them. We did get

AUSTRALIA —CAIRNS & MELBOURNE
Shaun & Kate Kenny,
Melbourne Chapter
We, both the Chariots and the
Church, had an awesome time
in Melbourne when Bill and
Ginger visited. What we
heard from their heart inspired
us all. The message has cap-
tured the hearts of those
within COL and the Church
with a fresh zeal to see the
lost won for Christ!
Joe & Margaret Kalusevicius,
Cairns Chapter
Our meeting with you in the
prison has had an effect. The
guys have been given permis-
sion to purchase the photos they
took that day. (That was the
favor of God because they
don‘t allow cameras inside, yet
the administration came and
took the pictures for the prison
newsletter!)! One of the guys,
Mick, sent us a letter the fol-
lowing week and had his Mum
and Dad buy a gift of an
orchid for us. The Lord is
touching him!
{Note: Joe Kalusevicius
went home to be with the
Lord on April 25, 2010.
Joe served as COL Presi-
dent of the Cairns Chapter
fearlessly and faithfully.
He will be missed! Con-
tinue to pray and uplift
Margaret and the family.}
CANADA —Pete & Colleen Minchau,
British Columbia Chapter
We rode up to Tappen, along
with others, including Shaun
and Judy who are so sweet
and the Chariots ministry is
ministering to their hearts.
They are believing for a bike.
Another man, Peter, that rode
with us, is a biker and a Chris-
tian and has been in a real
need to fellowship and so we
all got super blessed– riding
and fellowshipping with God
and each other!

prayer and the Bible study. We had
5 COL members and 10 guests.
Some of the guests showed interest
in COL membership, so we ex-

minister to for Christmas.
Melissa has been suffering
from stage four leukemia. We
purchase things like tooth-
paste, toilet paper, and sham-
poo to clothes for each of
them, grocery cards and gifts
for them. We even put COL
stickers on all the boxes we
provided for them. We met
on December 23 to give them
the boxes and prayed with
Melissa. Since then, we
learned Melissa has been
down-graded from fighting
stage four leukemia to stage
two. We are continuing to
believe for her complete heal-
ing!

Hey guys, I sowed the bike

me, ―for real?‖ ―man is this
for real?‖ I had to assure him,
I said ―yes, it‘s for real You
have the key and the title
don‘t you‖. Steve, Rose,
Lavera and I went with Hiram
to the local Sonic for a burger
to fellowship with Hiram a
little more after the service.
As we were getting ready to
leave Sonic, I heard Hiram

hit me when I get home‖. The

When Houston was suffering

degree temperatures, Dena,
Isaiah and I set a commitment
to God that every hot day
we‘d fill up the coolers and
travel Houston and give out
water. We saw an AMAZ-
ING response! God gave me
word that it would be hot in
Houston and to prepare. And
the summary of God‘s vision
was fulfilled for the month of

cussed the outcome of our

about up-coming events. We

funds to attend and assist with

Our March meeting was the
day before our outreach. So
we went over methods and
tools used to witness. We
talked about what to do when
people reacted in different
ways when approached. We
did some role playing and it
was fun and educational. I
was impressed with the effort
and work that everyone did on
the day of the outreach. We

Neil Stephens, Florida
Apopka
Well, I don‘t know where to start I remembered when Bill preached Wednesday night and he said
if he was to look back 25 years ago he didn‘t see his self doing what he is doing now. Well, I
think I was the same way about 6 years ago, but God knew different he put a special man in my
life that led me to the Lord and changed me forever.
I have been on several mission trips and everyone was special in different ways but during bike
week in Daytona it was very different because I have never done that kind of ministry before. The
first couple of days I was really nervous and I was riding my bike and on the way there on a cold
morning I was praying and I asked God to help me do this kind of ministry and he answered. Neil
get out of your safe zone and get into the faith zone and I will take care of the rest. I think a lot of
Christian people get into the safe zone but let me tell you when you step out of that safe zone into
the faith zone it will change you.
Six years ago when my seed was planted I did not know how deep my roots would grow but God
did. The week of Bike week in Daytona my roots grew even deeper. I think God puts people in
your life like Bill and Ginger and the Chariots of Light not only to reach the lost but to help us
believe to grow.
Ephesians 3:17 say that Christ will make his home in your heart as you trust in him your roots will
grow deep down into God‘s love and keep you strong. I am stronger now than ever before. I have
several people to thank for guiding me to where I am today.
I almost did not do the ministry tent in Daytona. I told a friend of mine my heart just wasn‘t there
that I needed to get closer to God. But let me encourage you to take the extra step out of your safe
zone into the faith zone. It will change you forever.

admit, when Bill was talking

because of the cost of it. But

We had a COL meeting Jan 8,
had a lot of fellowship and
prayer. I did the January Bi-
ble study and it was awesome.
Had 3 visitors and 7 COL
members there. Last weekend
we attended a fellow bikers
funeral. His name was Bodie
and he rides with a group
called Compound. I have
know him for a long time and
he died of cancer. I went to
the hospital 2 days before he
died and prayed over him.
The day before my friend,
Luke, was visited by the
President of the Tribe of
Judah. He called me on the
phone that night and told me
that he had lead Bodie in the
sinners prayer and that was
awesome. He knew that I
would be excited. Ralph has
been riding with us for a while
and the Lord put it on his
heart to make a commitment
to him and ride with the COL.
He likes what we are about -
which is a passion for God,
souls, then motorcycles. I

attendance and 2 guests. We
shared the vision and God‘s

ning. All Area Leaders shared
and imparted into the mem-

time to be there and the Word

There was a car show planned
for June 12. The hosting

come and walk the ground
and pray over the event. All
in attendance rode to the

praying over the land at Home

two teens that were led to the

―I want to thank you for wear-

Then in March, we rode to

fellowship after church. COL
was recognized and thanked
for attending. A great time of
fellowship. One rededication
to Christ for a man we met on
the way to our destination!!
In December, we rode to
Visalia Rescue Mission with 2

of coats, blankets, food, toys,

Howdy, from God‘s most
favorite state…
MONTANA!! I drove
through blizzard, snow
banks, fog and ice in Feb.
to Coeur d‘Alene, Idaho.
I got to spend a little time
with Pastor Jonathan
Owens. I had a great first
impression of this brother.
I gave him a copy of
Brother Jerry‘s maga-
zine and he really en-
joyed it.
He is excited about us
coming to his area
during the August
Tour and he is begin-
ning to prepare. We
still have too much
snow to dig our bikes
out. Pray for us. This
is a dangerous time of
year up here. The
grizzlies are coming
out of hibernation and
they are hungry.
Later that day we went to a
bike show and a swap meet.
We had great fellowship while
looking a t bike stuff with a
large number of vendors. We
prayed for healing of one of
our members, Al, who had a
sinus infection. Talked to him
the next day at church and he
was doing great! Also, dur-
ing our monthly meeting,
someone suggested that our
group look into buying a tire
changer to save everyone
money in the long run. Could
be a good outreach tool too!

We went Christmas Caroling.
It was 5 degrees with a wind

We worked with another Pas-

There were about 10,000

We have praise reports! In

Dr. Jerry Savelle ministered in 4 churches in Sayreville, NJ, Pennsville, NJ, Fredericksburg, VA
and Richmond, VA. There was a total of 21 salvations on this tour! We rode approximately
850 miles, had a total of 13 bikes, and 19 participants in spite of the rain that started the tour
with us. By the end of the tour, we were enjoying beautiful weather. There were 8 states repre-
sented as well as Canada! This tour schedule allowed for Monday and Tuesday evenings for all
tour participants, along with Brother Jerry, to sit and share from our hearts. This was an awe-
some time together! We stopped at Mike‘s Famous Harley-Davidson in Delaware as well as
visited and toured the Harley-Davidson Operations Center in York, PA. We rode in the very
urban of Jersey to the very rural including the Skyline Drive through the beautiful Shenandoah
Valley. A great tour to begin the 2010 season!

The Canadian Tour wasn‘t at all like any of us thought it would be. BUT God !!! He had us all
in the right place at the right time. It would take pages to give details of each instance where we
know God set each one up to minister, to support, to love, to strengthen, to encourage, to bless,
to step up, to befriend, to hug, to share, to listen, to ride, to attend, to pray…..
Bob Olmsted‘s home-going wasn‘t in our plans for this tour, but we are forever grateful to God
for setting these dates up for us — for Chariots — to be there in Ontario !!! (see page 16)
There were 37 salvations, 3 re-dedications, 5 healings and 6 filled with the Holy Ghost. We
know Bob was rejoicing with all of heaven for the lives that were changed ! He will be missed.
What a beautiful demonstration of the love of God in each Chariot that did what needed to be
done - no questions asked. Oh Canada! USA is glad we‘re such close neighbors!

On this west coast tour, we rode approximately 750 miles, had as many as 26 bikes and 40 par-
ticipants from 5 other states as well as Canada! We witnessed the blessing of a bike at church
on Sunday. How awesome to see the face of the recipients … and to join with the givers in
agreement for the harvest! This tour had a first for COL when the Delano Area Chariots, led by
Chapter President and Pastor Juan Juarez and Area Leader Luis Badilla, sponsored an outreach
community event that was planned during the Saturday tour date. Brother Jerry and other tour
participants enjoyed seeing the motorcycles and classic cars, low riders, trucks and hot rods at
the Car & Bike Show. But there was one event that some of us had not seen before, the
‗bicycle‘ class. These 2-wheeled possessions put some of ours to shame. Unbelievable at what
can be done to improve the looks of a bicycle with chrome, paint, and some imagination and
hard work and of course, money. You can see a few of the pictures from this on the website.

sight to see and there were people ministered to as well! All of our California Chariots were
such a blessing and very hospitable and a pleasure to ride and fellowship with.

Chariots of Light remembers Bob Olmsted!
Bob went to be with the Lord on May 17,
2010, following a lengthy battle against a
rare blood disorder. He was surrounded by
family and friends; a true hero in the faith
to the very end.
Bob was the beloved husband of Charlotte of 20 years, and
awesome father to their four awesome children—Sarah, Tim,
Daniel, and David. They continue to be encouraged and
strengthened by all the love and prayers of family and friends
around the world and will always be a vital part of Jerry Sav-
elle Ministries and the Chariots of Light. Bob retired from
the Toronto Police Service in 2005 after 31 years of dedi-
cated service before he became the National Director of Jerry
Savelle Ministries Inc.—Canada. He was also the National
Director of Chariots of Light Christian Bikers—Canada.
Bob cherished and nurtured a God-given dream in his heart
for many years—to carry the uncompromised Word of God
across this great nation and to see thousands saved and
brought into the freedom and fullness that only God can pro-
vide. To that end he gave himself tirelessly, with focused,
intense faith and joy and in so doing, imparted to us all a
great legacy!
We will treasure Bob‘s memory in many ways, but especially
by going ―Above and Beyond‖ in all that we do for God‘s
Kingdom as we reach out in 2010 and beyond … riding on
for Jesus!
Thank you for your continued prayers and support for Char-
lotte, Sarah, Tim, Daniel, and David as well as the JSMI—
Canadian Office Staff and Chariots of Light.
