–These bikers are in full throttle and on a mission to reach the lost. Faith Baptist Church in Waterford, Michigan, has a biker ministry that is making a major impact on the community.
“I do this because it’s a way of giving back to the Lord,” says Outreach Pastor Mark Daly. “He set me free from drugs, prison, bondages. Something inside that i can’t keep in.”
“Hogs in Ministry” (HIM) are revving up the town as well as the church. Pastor Jim Combs says the bikers bring a healthy atmosphere to their church. People from all different walks of life worship together.
“They come into a church service and see an usher or greeter with a tie, another with leather,” Pastor Jim says. “Everyone is happy understanding that’s whole body of Christ.”
Throughout the year, biker events draw large crowds.
One biker says, “After weekend of drinking and partying, we do a church service and watch people come from the pits of hell. [We] actually see their lives change.”
Another says, “I use to be a real taker -- wouldn’t do anything for free. Since I got saved, I’ll do anything for anybody.”
