Motorcycle Club Outreach

Motorcycles are part of our life as my son Simri and myself travel over 150 miles a week on them between us. Even though we are not part of any motorcycle group or club we have been working on getting an inroad with them to be able to reach them for Christ where they are.

In our planning for a massive outdoor crusade in September for over 5,000 people, we invited the different motorcycle clubs in the city to participate.

To open the doors not only to their participation but also to their friendship we decided to invite one of the clubs to our ranch for dinner on a Saturday. Over 20 of them show up for the event.

After a good barbeque we did a drive through town and took a picturesque drive down the highway for an hour or so. We had a great relaxing afternoon as well as opening the door to new acquaintances and future Christian brothers.

Special Concert

On the 9th of June we were able to carry out the first of several outdoor activities for this year. In the fair grounds of the city of Tepic we set up an outdoor stage with sound and lights for a first class outdoor concert with local Christian groups.

The first group that played was Red Sky, directed by Simri Tolman. They did an excellent job. The next group was Paco and Levi’s Band from the town of Compostela. Once again their performance was first class. The two and a half hour concert was closed out by Milo Jr. and his group ‘Rocka Solida’ (Solid Rock). With over 350 people that assisted and the rain that waited to fall until after the concert had ended, the whole activity was above all that we expected.


The whole activity would have stopped there except for a 7 year old girl that attended the concert. As the concert was in progress this child leaned over and asked her Mom how is was that some men were hanging above the stage. The mother answered that they weren’t hanging, only standing on the stage. The girl insisted that these men were dressed in white and once again the mother insisted that there was no one dressed in white. The young girl stood silent a while with her mouth open and then answered her mother: “What about the whirl wind?”
It was then that the mother understood that her daughter was seeing more than the concert, she was seeing angels of God flying around the stage. As the mother continued to investigate
she became sure that it wasn’t just her daughter's imagination but a real manifestation of the Lord. The whole time of the concert these angels were present, manifesting themselves only to this little girl but the presence of God accompanying them was felt by all.
