U.S. Missionaries David & Brenda Pantleo

My wife, Brenda and I have been in the ministry since 1994.  My calling started with a personal encounter with Jesus in 1992.  My wife was saved seven years earlier and shortly after I gave my life to the Lord, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and called into the ministry.  I told God I would go or do whatever He asked me to do.  This began the process for my ministerial credentials. In 1994, I received my Certified Minister credentials and in 1995, I completed the necessary requirements for my Licensed to Preach.  While in this time frame my wife and I were working as youth pastor’s and I began the process for Ordination.  In 1998, I became an Ordained Assemblies of God minister.

Feeling God’s tug on my heart to make a change out of youth ministry, we pursued pastoring believing our ultimate calling was to be an associate pastor.  I knew to effectively be an associate, I needed to walk a mile in a pastor’s shoes.  My wife and I accepted a pastoring position in Colorado until God opened the door for us to work as an associate pastor of a church in Springfield, MO.  We were content and happy until December of 2003, when God said it was time to go.  With that statement from God came a question, Where?  We didn’t have a clue what or where we would be, we just knew that God wanted us to move on.  I remembered then I had told God I would go or do whatever He had asked.

We resigned in December of 2003 not knowing where the Lord was going to take us.  The leading of the Holy Spirit started to direct us into motorcycle ministry.  Not knowing anything about this type of ministry, we began to search for information about Christian motorcycle ministries.  I found another Assemblies of God Motorcycle Missionary who mentored us and taught us the necessary information about biker protocol.  We became Motorcycle Missionaries and have been ministering to bikers since January 2004.  We are truly humbled to be used by God in this capacity to reach lost souls for His Kingdom.
