Update - Free Ride July 14th

Ride Results

Armando and I showed up for the ride to represent our church. After breakfast at the Harley-Davidson diner and fellowship, we got together with seven other bikers representing Christ the Rock, Calvary Chapel, and CMA (Christian Motorcyclists Association) to pray and then head out to the field where the camp was being held.

We helped the folks of Angel Tree bag up groceries (100 bags) that were going to be given to the families in attendance. We had an opportunity to meet the kids and hang out with them for a little while. The kids were having a great time and the weather, although hot, held out for the camp.

We saddled up and left around noon to head home. The ride went well and it was great to lend some support to a great group of people.

We will be planning an Angel Tree campaign this year and we will need your help to make it a success, so please stay tuned.

I am forwarding this on from Buddy Johnson who is the motorcycle ministry leader at Christ the Rock Community Church and for Fellowship Riders Florida Everglades. This sounds like it will be fun and definitely for a great cause. Here are the details we have thus far:

As you know, Angel Tree is one of Fellowship Riders serving Ministry's nationwide. We have been asked by Prison Fellowship to perform a small task that pays BIG dividends ( Jesus told me to tell you too!)

This week, Angel Tree is sponsoring a Sports Camp. Saturday is the family day where they will have a Hip Hop group and Coach Rod Payne will give his testimony. They would LOVE for FR to bring a group of bikes to jazz the kids. Many are the same ones we will serve through the Unity Ride in Sept. and Christmas time gift delivery.

This is a CALL TO ACTION. Won't you please consider giving a few hours of your time Saturday morning to plant some hope in the life of a child and their families.Details to follow. You will be home by noon.

In His Service,

Buddy
