As we finalize plans for this year's Jon Just Get'er Done Memorial Ride, we can't help but be filled with gratitude for what the Lord has done and allowed us to be part of in the last 21 years. Over 600 motorcycles have been provided to pastors and other Christian workers in remote areas of Africa to help spread the gospel. This video, made by Shelby Taylor of Thistle + Wood Photo, is from the presentation of 35 motorbikes to pastors from Africa Theological Seminary in Kitale, Kenya this past March. It was such a joyful day, celebrating the great things God has already done and believing for the amazing things He will continue to do!

Four years ago, we had the chance to partner with a new ministry in Kenya, Christian Mission Aid. This year, we were thrilled to donate 20 motorcycles to pastors in northwestern Kenya. Over the past four years, we have given a total of 65 motorcycles to pastors through CMA.

We had the honor of presenting 12 of the motorcycles to pastors at the end of their annual Peace and Reconciliation Conference. This conference was started a couple of years ago to bring Christian leaders from neighboring tribes together. These tribes have a long history of disagreements and violence towards each other. CMA has organized this conference to help these leaders realize that they’re all on the same team, working towards the same goal - spreading the message of Jesus.

At the end of the day, Mike, Nate, and the boys got to bond with the pastors over some “Team Building.” A year ago, they were sitting on opposite sides of the room, refusing to talk to each other. But this year, they were working and laughing together, focused on filling the cup full of water! It was incredible to see the transformative power of God’s grace and love at work.

Today we had the opportunity to do our annual visit to see Judith and Evans at Great Mercy Education Centre in Kitale, Kenya. Judith was one of the first pastors to receive a motorbike in Kenya back in 2012. Since then, through all of your generous donations, Great Mercy has received an additional motorbike and a TukTuk.

Great Mercy has 250 students ranging from preschool through Grade 12 and an orphanage that boards approximately 160 students of those students. Judith has a heart for the next generation, ensuring they are raised with biblical values! She shows compassion for the parentless and those who are often overlooked.

Our group today had the opportunity to tour the facility and the new dormitory for girls, serve tea to the students, and enjoy sports in their new sports field. We were also able to see their newly installed state of the art well that is over 150 meters deep. God has blessed this ministry time and time again, and it shows from the generous donation of some of our friends that were able to act quickly and get these children clean and accessible water!!!

Huge prayer request - a couple members of our team have had some sickness/health issues. Please pray for healing and also that the rest of the team can remain healthy.

In honor of the 20th annual Jon Just Ride, we figured it would be fun to post 20 pictures of Jon being Jon (but since we are bad at making decisions, you get a few extras 😂). Not a day goes by that we don’t think about Jon and what the world would be like if he was still with us.

We are so grateful for the ways that you all have helped us keep Jon’s memory alive over the last 20 years.

Less than 4 days until Jon’s 20th annual motorcycle ride.

We hope to see you all there on Sunday at McKnight Park in Chaska. It looks like it is going to be a beautiful day end of summer day - 85 degrees and sunny!

Registration starts at noon, Safety briefing at 12:45, and kick stands up at 13:00.

Jon’s dad, Dave, has been busy smoking pork shoulders so we won’t be going hungry!

Don’t ride? Watch the Vikings at noon (hopefully they win) then join us for the picnic at 16:00.

SAVE THE DATE! Sunday, September 15th, 2024

The 20th Annual Jon Just Get'er Done Memorial Motorcycle Ride and picnic is just around the corner!

It's hard to believe that this year marks 20 years of remembering Jon and raising money to equip pastors in Africa with a way to spread the gospel in hard to reach areas, but we are so grateful for the opportunity to do both of those things with all of you!

Please note that the ride and picnic will be a little earlier this year. Event details will follow soon!

One more week to go! The motorcycle route has been planned and tested for all of our riders - it’s another great one! The picnic menu is set and food is being purchased and prepared. We’re looking forward to seeing you all next Sunday, September 17th, at McKnight Park in Chaska for the 19th Annual Just Get’er Done memorial ride!

As we’ve taken time to reflect on the 18th annual Just Get’er Done Motorcycle Ride, we are so incredibly GRATEFUL for all of you.

We’re GRATEFUL for everyone who took the time to join the ride and come to the picnic.

We’re GRATEFUL for everyone who took time volunteering in the kitchen and at the park to make the picnic run smoothly.

We’re GRATEFUL to all of our road guards and law enforcement officers who helped us stay together safely on the ride.

We’re GRATEFUL to Bob Borner for all of the time he took putting together another great route to ride!

We’re GRATEFUL to each and every one of you who supports the ministry created to remember and honor Jon’s life and legacy, and ultimately give glory to God for turning tragedy into something beautiful.

It was another incredible year!
