Nazarene Motorcycle Fellowship

Middendorf Ordination

On Friday evening, June 11, 2010, Rev. David Middendorf, chairperson of the Nazarene Motorcycle Fellowship Steering Committee, was ordained as an elder in the Church of the Nazarene. General Superintendent Dr. Jesse C. Middendorf, David’s first cousin, conducted the ceremony as a part of the 83rd North Carolina District Assembly.

In his sermon, Dr. Middendorf explained, “God chose you so you must follow Him and reflect His characteristics. Where you serve doesn’t matter. Wherever God puts you, put all of your weight down there, praying, ‘Oh God, you lead; I’ll follow.’”

The ceremony was attended by family members, bikers from Elon Power Line Church of the Nazarene, and special ministry friends. This was the second of two very special events in the life of Rev. Middendorf; just two weeks earlier, Memorial Day weekend, he graduated with honors from Nazarene Bible College where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry.

Our congratulations and heartfelt prayers go with Rev. David and Sharon Middendorf. May their heart’s cry always be, “Oh God, you lead; We’ll follow.”
