About Our Ministry

Activities

Prayer Letter 2026

“This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him.”

1 John 4:9

Greetings in the Lord

Hi, greetings to you in the Lord.

Here we are at the beginning of another calendar year. The year 2025 was difficult at times for many of us and in many different ways. Please continue to keep one another in your thoughts and prayers.

As we look ahead, we thank God for His faithfulness and for every opportunity He gives Fireblade Ministries to share His love and message of salvation.

Words of Encouragement

One of the greatest blessings in ministry is hearing how God continues to use His Word in the lives of others.

Hello Eddie,

My name is Ian. The reason for my email is that I wanted to send you some encouragement, if I may be so presumptuous.

I am currently sitting in Anvil Tyres in Lisnaskea and have come across a Bible donated by Fireblade Ministries. I read your story inside the front cover and felt the need to send this email to let you know that your ministry is still being used.

I am not a biker, but I am a Christian who struggles in his faith. I simply want to wish you God’s richest blessing in whatever you do.

Thank you for the blessing you have given me today without even knowing you were doing it. We never know what He can do with what little we have to give.

God bless,
Ian

Messages such as this remind us that every Bible, Gospel tract, conversation and act of service matters. We may not always see the results, but God can use even the smallest offering for His glory.

TT Report 2025

What Does the Future Hold?

Before the 2025 Isle of Man TT, there were many questions:

  • Would Michael Dunlop achieve more TT victories?
  • Would there be a good crowd at this year’s TT?
  • Would the Fireblade Ministries marquee be set up in St Andrew’s Church car park?
  • Would people visit the stand to talk and take leaflets and Bibles?

Could anyone know the answers to these questions with certainty? Of course not. None of us knows the future, but God does.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will hear you.”

Jeremiah 29:11–13

As we look at the world today, it could sometimes appear that God has forgotten His people, but that is not the case. God remains faithful to every promise He has made.

In John 14:1–6, the Lord Jesus told His disciples that He would return. One day, He will come again for His Church—all those who have trusted in Him.

Are You Ready for the Lord’s Return?

Have you repented of your sin?

Have you placed your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ?

Is your future secure?

Are you sure of a home in Heaven?

Do you have peace with God?

Our prayer at Fireblade Ministries is that you have your future settled because of what the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished at Calvary. He died and rose again, paying the debt of sin in our place.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Romans 3:23

We cannot buy our way into Heaven, nor can we earn salvation through good works. Salvation is made possible through the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.

He died so that we might be forgiven, saved through His precious blood and given the hope of eternal life.

Arrival on the Isle of Man

When we arrived on the Isle of Man, we went to the Fireblade Ministries marquee, which had once again been set up for us by our good friend Dave Baker and his family. We are sincerely thankful for their continued help and support.

We began preparing the stand by arranging our display boards, pull-up banners, Gospel tracts, leaflets and Bibles.

Practice week was difficult and had to be disrupted because of several road traffic accidents and poor weather. Sunday’s planned racing was moved to Monday, and this was one of many programme changes throughout the event.

The weather presented many challenges for the organisers, but they did a good job of running the races whenever there were suitable dry periods.

While visitors waited to discover whether practices and races would take place, many stopped at the Fireblade Ministries stand to talk with us.

Annual TT Service

We also had to adjust our own schedule, moving our annual TT service in the Mike Hailwood Centre from 9:00am to 8:30am.

Thank you to everyone who helped, took part and attended at the earlier time. We were greatly encouraged by the number of people who came.

  • Neil led the service.
  • Arthur and Celia led the singing.
  • William brought a short message from God’s Word.
  • James closed our time together in prayer.

We also had the opportunity to attend St Ninian’s Church, where it was lovely to meet everyone again.

Philip and Crawford opened the marquee following the service, while Neil and Alison covered the afternoon as we met several people in and around the paddock.

The stand went well on Sunday, and we received much encouragement from other believers.

Visitors from Around the World

During the following days, people from around the world stopped at the Fireblade Ministries stand. Some came to talk, some looked around, some took Gospel tracts and others received a Fireblade Bible.

We welcomed visitors from:

Australia Belgium Canada Denmark England France Germany Holland Italy Northern Ireland Republic of Ireland Switzerland

We began running low on Fireblade Bibles during the event. Since returning from TT 2025, we have ordered another 1,000 Bibles.

3,000 Fireblade Bibles

We give thanks to God that we are now preparing our third batch of 1,000 Fireblade Bibles.

People to Remember in Prayer

A young woman named Jo Jo visited the stand several times. She has a desire to share the Gospel with people involved in sidecar racing. Please pray that she will know God’s guidance and blessing.

A Christian visitor from Switzerland said he was greatly encouraged by what he saw and would like to establish a similar ministry presence at motorcycle races in his own country.

A man named Malcolm, whom I had not seen for several years, also stopped to speak with us.

We met visitors from Liverpool, including one man who had been badly injured in a motorcycle accident many years ago.

Please pray for:

  • Everyone who received a Fireblade Bible or Gospel tract.
  • Jo Jo and her desire to reach the sidecar racing community.
  • The Christian visitor hoping to begin similar work in Switzerland.
  • Those who spoke with us about personal struggles and difficulties.
  • All riders, teams, organisers, marshals and their families.
  • The volunteers and supporters of Fireblade Ministries.
  • Future outreach opportunities during the 2026 season.

The Most Important Question

At the beginning of this report, four questions were asked.

✓ Michael Dunlop achieved more TT victories.

✓ There were good crowds at TT 2025.

✓ An encouraging number of people visited and spoke with us at the Fireblade Ministries stand.

However, there is another, far more important question:

Have you prepared for eternity?

Are you ready for Heaven?

Have you made peace with God?

Do you have the peace of God in your heart?

I sincerely pray that your answer to these questions is yes.
