My name is Curt Lamoureux, I have been riding with the Sons of God MC since 1989. I am the former Nat'l. V.P. (2000-2004.)I have been riding bikes most of my life. I have owned a ’72 Sportster since 1980. I retired her to the den in 2004.
I was married to my wife Nancy, for 34 years. We have 2 beautiful kids, Curtis Jr., and Amanda. We accepted Jesus Christ, as our Savior on April 18th 1988. On Friday April, 15th, I went to work as usual, but didn't go home after work. I went to a friend’s house where we partied until Sunday evening. Then I went home drunk, as usual. Well when I went to work on Monday morning, I was still drunk, about noon I started to sober up and was feeling BAD. When I got home that afternoon, I wanted nothing to bother me. About 7:10 pm someone knocked on my door. Who should this be, but, not one but two Preachers from local churches. I later found out that Nancy had been to Church on Sunday and asked if they would come to our house and try to talk to me.
Well,
the first thing happened was one sat between me and Monday Night Wrestling! I
thought man what an IDIOT! Well as he talked the other preacher just sat in the
corner (I didn't know he was praying) Well as J.C. Bradley talked about Jesus
Christ, and the forgiveness He has for us, I began to listen, mostly to be
polite. When he asked me if there was any reason I couldn't accept Jesus as my
Savior, all I could say was, “no”. When he asked me if I wanted to accept Jesus
Christ as my Savior and Lord, I was crying like a little baby and said YES. So
at 8:10 pm on April 18th 1988, I felt as the weight of the whole world had been
lifted from my shoulders. I have been walking with Jesus ever since.
I was called to preach in 1991. I attended Emmanuel Baptist University for a four year course, and earned my Bachelor of Arts in Theology. I’ve Pastored Christian Missionary Baptist Church in Hickory N.C. for five years. Since then I have preached revivals in several states. God has used me to lead many lost souls to Him.
I Praise God for His saving Grace and the Mercy He has shown us as we grow in our Faith. So as you read this, if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, Please just ask him to forgive you of your sins, come into your heart and make you a Christian. Believe He will and has done it, and tell everyone you know about Jesus. Romans 10:9,10,11 says, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10, for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11, For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. So please ask Jesus to forgive you and He will.
I used to think, that the life I lead as a drunk, druggie a whoremonger and a biker that there was no way for me to be forgiven, but the Blood of Jesus Christ washed ALL my sins away and made me white as snow. Thank you Jesus for your forgiveness.
In
October of 2004, Nancy and I were in a motorcycle accident. Nancy was killed
instantly. I didn’t even have a scratch. Later the same afternoon, Curtis and I
went to pick up the bike at the wrecker yard. I started across what is known
around here as Mineral Springs Mountain, just as I rounded the last curve on top
of the mountain, I shifted into third gear. The next thing I was aware of was my
son telling the EMS that they couldn’t cut my belt or shirt off, since both were
custom made. I was told my leather jacket was about forty feet down the side of
the mountain, still zipped up. How this happened, I have no idea. Well, I spent
six weeks in a coma. On the seventh week I was sent to another hospital for
rehab. It seems as though I had to re-learn to walk and regain my other motor
skills.
In March of 2005, I received a phone call from Rhino Joe of the Myrtle Beach Chapter of SOG MC. He told me that he would sell me his ’98 Honda Valkyrie. I looked at this as a God Thing. We made the deal and I rode it to Daytona Beach. Later in ’05 I met a woman and was re-married. It wasn’t of God; therefore it didn’t last for more than three months. In October of 2006, God allowed me to purchase a 2007 H-D Ultra Classic.
For the next four years, I dated some, but nothing was emotionally or spiritually fulfilling. In September of 2009, I had resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be alone for the rest of my life. This idea didn’t sound too bad though. I wouldn’t have anyone to worry about except for myself and my dog Bootsie. In fact I kind of liked the idea of not having to tell anyone when I was ready to go somewhere, or if I didn’t want to cook. I had decided that being a bachelor was going to be a GREAT way of life. The only person I hadn’t asked was God. On September eleventh, my phone rang, the voice on the other end, said, Hello Curt?? This is Chrissie. Well, I asked, Chrissie who?? She told me that she had come across my number on the internet and wanted to know if I would like to meet her sometime. I told her yes. The next day we met and talked for several hours, just getting to know each other. On Monday the fourteenth of September, we took a ride up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. She had never been on the top side of the mountain, so, we rode all day. We continued to see each other, and were married in Sevierville, Tennessee on November 10th of 2009. I now realize that she was sent from God to comfort me and be my help-mate. Christine has been a God-send to me.
After
we were married, God began to grow the Western Piedmont Chapter of SOG MC. We
now have four prospects and one hang-around. After riding by myself for many
years, God has been faithful in answering my prayers; not only in my personal
life, but in my ministerial life. I thank God every day for Christine, and I
thank Him for the growth in this ministry.
