Church Hosts Motorcyclists ‘No Borders’ Gathering

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MN (August 7, 2018) – The Evangelical Covenant Church hosted motorcyclists from the United States and Canada who gathered here for the recent Christian Motorcycle Association’s No Borders Rally 2018.

The association has hosted its annual gatherings in different communities. The church first hosted the No Borders Rally four years ago after a member of the congregation suggested it to the CMA’s leadership.

“The new director, Jim Hall, a member of the Stillwater Covenant Church, remembered us from four years ago and asked if we would be willing to let them do it again, and of course we did,” said Pastor Darren Olson.

“They are an awesome group of people who are committed to blessing the community and sharing Jesus Christ,” Olson said. While in town, the group conducted a youth evangelistic outreach and participated in other activities to benefit the community.

“Hosting the event helps us be an active presence in the community and builds positive connections with the community,” Olson said. “That’s something that we as a church have worked really hard at becoming.”

The event was held July 27-29.
