Black Sheep Harley-Davidsons For Christ

Here are a few pictures from Day 2 of the 4 Corners Motorcycle Rally in Durango, Colorado. We’ve had an incredible time meeting new people, lifting them up in prayer, and shining a few boots. Each conversation and prayer is an opportunity to share Christ’s love and to be His hands and feet.

As we shine boots, it’s more than just a physical act—it’s a chance to serve in humility, following Jesus’ example in John 13:14-15. It’s these simple acts of service that often open the door to deeper conversations and connections.

All for His glory! ☝🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻

Hey sheep & friend of sheep!

Just a quick heads up that our office will be closed this week as we're heading to the 4 Corners Rally in Durango.

🔒 Office Closed: Now through September 2nd
🔑 We'll be back open on: Tuesday, September 3rd

Ride safe and have a great week! 🏍️

What a blessed weekend of serving and fellowshipping! I’m so thankful for our Black Sheep family. Every person who endured the rain and made this event not just successful but absolutely unforgettable.

Thank you to Brian from Northwest Motorcycles and Service for providing the opportunity for us to serve at such a wonderful event. From the moment we arrived, the spirit of unity and purpose was felt. We rolled up our sleeves to help with set-up, we assisted with registration, and offered our time to pray with and for those in need. And of course, we polished boots—a small but significant act of service that reflects our heart for honoring and serving others in every way possible.

A heartfelt thank you to all the Black Sheep who traveled from Idaho, SoCal, Portland, and Washington to be a part of this event. Your presence and dedication made a huge difference, and it was a joy to serve alongside each of you. Thank you to the Mt. Rainier Chapter for your warm hospitality and all the laughs (my stomach is still sore from all the 🤣) special shoutout to Zac and Jen Anderson for the amazing BBQ and desserts.

As I reflect on this weekend, I pray that the Lord will grow the seeds that were sown in every conversation, prayer, and act of kindness. It’s an immense privilege to serve alongside such wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ. All for His glory!

Love,
Laz

Turning Tragedy into Testimony

Jesse, a biker with around five years of riding experience, was recently involved in a severe accident when a car unexpectedly pulled out in front of him while he was traveling at approximately 60 miles per hour. The collision sent Jesse flying, and he landed hard, suffering a broken pelvis and back.

Upon hearing the news, Mark Esola, the president of our BSHDFC Santa Maria chapter, promptly requested that their chapter chaplain visit Jesse in the hospital. The chaplain brought a blanket, prayed with him, and provided comfort during his visit. When Mark later learned that Jesse was being transferred from the Lompoc area to Pasadena, CA. he immediately took action. Mark reached out to Area Contact and International Vice President Greyson Adams and asked if he could visit Jesse at the Pasadena-area hospital.

That same day, Greyson visited Jesse in the hospital. Mark’s intentionality and commitment were evident—not satisfied with just the initial visit, he ensured that Jesse continued to receive support from our ministry. As a result, during Greyson’s first hospital visit, he was able to pray with Jesse and share the gospel with him. Jesse subsequently gave his life to Jesus—praise the Lord! This divine encounter might not have happened if Mark hadn’t been so intentional.

This is why Black Sheep Harley-Davidsons for Christ exists. Yes, we engage in other acts of service, ministry, and fellowship, such as manning free boot shine booths, hosting monthly chapter breakfasts, and riding and serving our designated riding groups and motorcycle dealerships. However, Black Sheep’s mission has always been, and will always be, to introduce Jesus to the motorcycle community. We remain focused and committed to sharing the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Our ministry is rooted in this purpose—to reach out with love, compassion, and intentionality, ensuring that no opportunity to share Christ’s love is missed. As Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”

Mark, BSHDFC Santa Maria chapter, and Greyson’s actions exemplify what it means to be a Black Sheep: always ready, always intentional, and always available to lead others to Jesus. Thank you to all that visited and continue to visit Jesse at the hospital. Let’s continue to keep Jesse in our prayers. All for His glory!
