Our Tools

It is a simple formula. Take cold water and some Bibles to a very hot, summer weekend motorcycle rally. Setup a booth and offer the water and Bibles free, then offer prayers and blessings as a bonus.

It worked again this year. I don’t know who received the greater blessings, the people who stopped by the booth, or the people who greeted them with cold water and a message of hope.

Many, many thanks to Bill and Fran Patrick, who worked tirelessly to take our supplies to Mountain View, setup the booth, work all day in the hot sun, and then pack up and take things home again. It was a major effort to honor the Lord and bless the folks who attended this event.

Many thanks also to Lois and Warren who got the water and other supplies.

And none of it would have been possible without Charlie, Don and John who rode to Mountain View and worked the booth all day, in the hot, very hot, really really hot, sun. Thanks guys.

See all the great pictures in our gallery.
