When we think of the Bikers for Christ motorcycle club we typically think of bikers conducting evangelical gatherings or ministering to bikers at rallies. While that's certainly true, the Bikers for Christ do so much more. Earlier this month they joined with The Wellhouse and other Christian ministries in Birmingham, Alabama to raise awareness of child trafficking and prostitution in the area. Bikers for Christ members joined about 40 other people in the first annual Freedom Walk in Birmingham's Railroad Park.
According to news reports from the event, Bikers for Christ works with The Wellhouse on frequent occasions to help bring an end to the sexual exploitation of women and children. The Wellhouse claims to have helped more than 50 women escape lives of prostitution so far this year. They do so through a combination of support, counseling, and life skills training.
The official club patch of the Bikers for Christ shows an open Bible with a sword, giving testament to their primary purpose of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ among motorcycle riders. But their efforts in helping groups like The Wellhouse is also part of their mission. For these bikers, the gospel is more about showing it through action rather than only speaking it with the mouth. Their embroidered patch shows that in the wings, which designate the Holy Spirit actively changing a life.
In addition to joining the Freedom Walk in Birmingham, Bikers for Christ have also joined other important causes centered on encouraging education, promoting family values, and even providing financial assistance to the families of injured or deceased bikers regardless of religious belief or club affiliation. Their care and concern for their fellow human beings is unmatched by any other similar group.
