Allen Hayden
Bikers For Christ Sporty
Designed from inception on the BORN TWICE bike which Pastor Fred Z has been working on for the past couple months; featured in WOG Issue August ‘07. After seeing that bike at Rushing Winds cool as it is, I knew that I was going to go after the same style with a Sportster. I had the vision, I needed a used bike to keep in line the born twice approach. Thus a search 
and waiting process on Craigslist throughout Southern California. Some bikes that seemingly fit the look I was hoping for, but with sellers not showing for sales and phone calls not returned, it took time to track down a donor Sportster ready to share the faith. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. The license plate now reads “777CREW.” It’s an almost stock 883 with some gearing modifications that keep it up to speed. A set of fenders and tank painted in Bikers For Christ colors from Tim White, a set of “Frisco” bars by Biltwell Inc. thanks Jerry, and an ebay La Pera solo seat for getting it just a little lower and we’re ready for the missionary field, the church invasions and the tracking at secular events. Special thanks to Jesus Christ in whom all things are possible, Big Tom, Pastor Z for the “on fire” inspiration, BFC brother Ken.
Ron & Darlene Ratlief
AKA Braveheart and Trouble
We have ridden with Bikers For Christ Orange County since May of 2005 and officially patched as of July 29, 2007, the day of our wedding. I ride a 2004 Heritage Softail and my wife Darlene rides a 2005 Sportster Custom.
Our goal is to reach and touch as many hearts and lives that we can with the love of Jesus that we have inside of us.
We have a mission field here in the South Bay area and with the help of our Lord and Savior, anything is possible.
Joe & Joan Biesiada
I have been married for over 14 years and have two son’s ages 21 and 25. I was led to the Lord in April of 1995 and my life has not been the same since. I have been blessed in many ways, spiritually and physically. My wife Joan surprised me on my 40th birthday with a new 2004 HD Road King Classic completely paid for by her working side jobs and socking away money without me knowing. This was another changing point in my life because it eventually brought me to be a “Bikers For Christ” member. Even thought my wife is not a BFC patch holder I have included her in this picture because she is my friend and support that God has gifted me with. Together we strive to do God’s will.
Ken & Sheri Bedley
We have been together for 17 years and have now been married for 7years. Sheri and I have 5 kids. I patched with Bikers For Christ in 2006 and Sheri patched in 2007. We have been so blessed to be a part of BFC and Christ’s family. I have been riding since I was about 8 years old on dirt bikes and then a few years later God blessed me with a Harley. I have always enjoyed riding and now I do it with BFC and he has blessed me with amazing brothers and sisters of Christ! Praise God that he gave me BFC.
Jenn & Evan Vincent
We have been married for about a year and a half. I’ve been with BFC since I was about 16 and Evan just patched in 2008. I ride a 2007 V-Star 1100 Silverado and Evan rides a beautiful custom 2000 Police Edition Road King. We love to ride and minister to the people that the world loves to ignore. We love our BFC family and thank God for putting each and every one of it’s members in our lives.
