its not really validation I am seeking, its just more like this:
the organization exists to be a silent witness of Jesus Christ. In order to do that, we need to be out, seen, and willing.
if you haven't heard of us at all, then that is a clear indicator to us that we aren't reaching out far enough.
We're in the process of getting a tow truck (flatbed) up and ready as a free of charge recovery vehicle, and we're also trying to setup some "on the spot" kind of remedies that people might need.
there is no payment for anything we offer. there is no commitment for anything we offer. we do have one requirement: that you accept the gift, as a gift and nothing more.
We are not accepting donations for any of the things we are doing out on the roads. however a wise person once told me never argue with a man that insists. (if it means that much to someone, we will not offend. has happened before)
If anyone wants to support our efforts, i'll be throwing up some fund raising events in the future, again, no requirement or obligation.
I'm as serious as it gets when I say I JUST want to keep people out on the roads as safe as possible, happy as possible, and if I get even one chance to spread the gospel, then my requirement is fulfilled.
Some of you may notice I keep saying "I". Tthis is because I was given charge to break free from the conventional harley MC style we have, and expand to the sportbike realm, where riders are different (for one, they ride). I have only 3 other people dedicated to helping me with this cause, and you'll see us in pairs at the minimum.
I am hoping by next year to have a small shop setup that we can host some events with, do some ride clinics, do some maintenance days etc etc. but that will all take time.
How am I paying for this? simple. out of my own pocket, or donations from others.
no secrets, full disclosure (that I have access too anyway).
If anyone would be interested in joining us, please talk to me.
