On July 18, 2008, while taking his grandson for a motorcycle ride near his Ashland, Kentucky home, Russell L. “Rusty” Bellomy was killed tragically and his grandson seriously injured by a drunk driver.

This retired steelworker was an active member of Ashland (KY) First Church for 29 years. Rusty’s heart and soul were dedicated to the Eastern Kentucky District Work & Witness projects, participating in 31 trips across the US and around the world while also serving as Work &Witness district coordinator for 11 years. In addition, Bellomy served as a member of the district Advisory Board, the Eastern Kentucky Nazarene Missions International Council, the Camp Board, and represented the District as a lay member of the Mount Vernon Nazarene University Board of Trustees.

At The Rockledge Rumble!, the first-ever Nazarene Motorcycle Fellowship (NMF) event, held in conjunction with the 27th General Assembly, The Rusty Bellomy Bikes for Missions Project was introduced to honor this long-time biker and Nazarene. Speaking on behalf of the NMF Board, Rev. David Middendorf, chairperson, explained that this project provides funds for use in purchasing motorcycles for pastors on the mission field where such a vehicle will increase their ability to spread the gospel.

The Nazarene Motorcycle Fellowship encourages Nazarene bikers to make contributions and biker groups to take offerings at their events, including Biker Sundays, rallies, and rides. All funds given to the Rusty Bellomy Bikes for Missions Project qualify as a 10% Giving Special. These funds will be used by pastors around the world to reach their region with the gospel. A check in the amount of the funds received should be made payable to “Bellomy Bikes for Missions” and sent to:

Nazarene Motorcycle Fellowship
c/o Adult Ministries International
17001 Prairie Star Parkway
Lenexa, KS  66220

At the 2013 General Assembly, in Indianapolis, Indiana, the fund’s balance will be presented to Nazarene Missions International and we will celebrate how these offerings have benefited the sharing of the gospel by pastors around the world.

We urge you to start praying, collecting, and sending in funds today!
