T his year saw another awe-some “Bikerfest Weekend”

in Zanesville, Ohio. Pastor Mike & Lynn McGuire of Rushing Wind Biker Church and their crew always put on such a high quality, and blessed outreach to their community. I arrived on Thursday afternoon and the bikes were already starting to roll in.

G reetings in the matchless Name of the Lord Jesus

Christ. God has been doing some awesome things around the planet as we go forth in His powerful Name to share the Gospel with the least, the last, and the lost. Thank you so much for your prayers, your encouragement, and your sup-port. We really could not do the things that God has called us to do with-out your help, so we are eternally grateful to all who support this ministry - as we boldly go where the Lord leads and guides us. Romans 10:15.

By Friday afternoon there were literally hundreds of people on the church grounds, and a pile of motorcycles. The Revival tent was packed, the RWBC Worship Team rocked the house, and Pastor Michael shared God’s Word with the crowd. Hundreds of “Bikers for Christ” members and others rode in from at least six or seven different states and gathered together there in Zanesville, Ohio (which is a central point for many.) That evening many were touched by the Spirit of God, and came to the altar for prayer. The fellowship that evening was sweet. It would be the beginning of an awe-some three-day outreach. On Saturday we gathered at the Sal-vation Army building, and the bikes lined both sides of the street for

blocks. We had a “meet and greet” and saw old friends, and met new friends. Great lunch, and then heard some announcements, before we hopped on the bikes and began staging them for our afternoon ride. The route that they picked was a beautiful one. And I have to tell you it is always “a rush” to look in the rear view mirror, and see 100+ sets of handlebars in your rearview mirror.

BIKERFEST - 2016 Zanesville, Ohio

Thank you sister Rhonda – for loaning me “Samson” a sweet HD 103 Cu. In. Street Glide for the weekend. You - Rock Rhonda! We had a police escort to get us out of town… once we left the city limits the road opened up and we were hitting some beautiful green rolling hills, and fields, and forests. The long line of bikes made a LOUD statement: Bikerfest Week-end was alive and well in Zanesville, Ohio. On Saturday night the tent was packed again a solo artist opened the evening with some awesome blues, and it was my turn to preach.

The Lord gave me a message about current events in our world. It struck a chord in many who attended that eve-ning, and the Lord blessed the message. The Holy Spirit touched the people, and many came forward to receive Christ, rededicate their lives, or to pray for God to give them a fresh touch that evening. I am careful to always give God the glory for working through His Word to touch the lives of those that the Spirit draws. On Sunday morning even more folks were rolling in on the bikes and in cars. The crowd filled the tent, and spilled out to the concrete slab on back, and some sat in the grass surrounding the tent. The RWBC Worship Team got the crowd all fired up. John Lance an evan-gelist who has traveled with Bill Glass prison ministries shared his testimony. His powerful story touched a lot of folks in the crowd – and once again many responded to God’s Word that morning. What a beautiful weekend seeing the Spirit of God touching the hearts and lives of the people who gathered.

T he “Born Free Bike Show & Rally” is always an awesome place to see killer bikes, thousands of

people, see the latest gear from famous Bike Builders, hear some great bands, and also a great place to pass out lots of Gospel tracts. The thing that is really cool about this rally is that in ad-dition to the custom bike builds… there are lots of peo-ple who ride their own “garage-built” creations and enter them in the show. I’ve always had a thing for old school looking Choppers, Bobbers, and other types of custom

bikes that show the heart and souls of the rider who ride them… and they are designed in their heads. Some are hand built using parts that they found in junk piles, or fabricated out of metal. Many rare works of art are ridden in with Harley motors dating back to the early days: Flatheads, Knuckleheads, Panheads, Shovelheads, and Evo’s, as well as the newer Twin Cams roll in with the rider on the bike – instead of being brought in squeaky clean on a shiny new trailer. Many show bikes don’t have over a hundred miles on the odometer. Some of the coolest bikes at the “Born Free Rally” are daily riders, built by their owners and they have a special place in the hearts of those that designed and wrenched on them. I’ve built a few in my life, and they have al-ways been my favorite bikes. They are not only pieces of metal - they breathe heart, soul and style. Anyway we spent 4 or 5 hours trying to take in all the sights. I got to visit with a bunch of guys and gals who built and rode their bikes in. It was fascinating to talk with them about the different ideas that they came up with while they were putting their bikes together. I of course gave Gospel tracts to the folks that I visited with. Many were open to hearing about our ministry.

BORN FREE BIKE SHOW & RALLY

Another cool thing about this particular rally is that there are hundreds of bikes on the grass of every type, and every brand out there. Chopped Harleys, Honda’s, Yamaha’s, Suzuki’s, etc. And there are also quite a few really old school original antiques: HD’s, Indians, BMW’s, Ariels, Hendersons, Moto Guzzi’s, and other rare birds…And again many most of them are not trailered in – they are ridden in to the Bike Show, which is what makes this particular Bike Show so rare. What a sight! It would take at least two days to see all the of the different motor-cycles and the people at Born Free.

We need to remember that all of them need Jesus. Many will never set foot in a church… so we try our best to bring Christ’s message of salvation to them. It is a great time, and we hope to go back each year if the Lord allows us to. The harvest is ripe, and the world is pretty lost. May the Lord continue to give us divine appointments to share our faith, the Gospel tracts, and our testimonies as God opens the doors - with these new and also the older generations of riders. Jesus Died for Bikers Too! Mark 2:17.

A s we approach the time of America’s Presidential Election, we would encourage you to vote for people

that represent Biblical Values. And I’d like to leave you all with important statement: “No matter who is president, the Lord Jesus Christ will Always be the King of Kings, and Lord of Lords! Please never forget that. Matthew 24:35. Love and Respect, Pastor Fred & Esther Z. and Bikers for Christ Intl. HQ.
