Sturgis Day Six

What a special day this was for the Oklahoma Faith Riders. We had the wonderful opportunity to travel down to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. On the way we stopped off and visited the historic site of Wounded Knee battle ground.
The experience of sharing the love of Jesus with the people at the church there in Pine Ridge was a joy. Pastor Irl and his wife are doing a wonderful job of loving on a group of people who are considered to be the poorest in the US.
We got to feed hamburgers and fellowship all afternoon with them. The highlight was giving all the children rides on the backs of our bikes. This was the first time many of them had ever been on a motorcycle. Continue to pray for the pastor and for this church to be lighthouse in this community. I am seriously praying about the opportunity for our church to come back here and do a VBS sometime.
Thursday is our last day here in Sturgis. We will work the tent form 1-4 then go over and serve at the rescue mission in Rapid City. Pray for me as I will preaching tonight at 5:30 pm.
