Homeless Biker Day - May 22, 2010
Since Gibby had bypass surgery in Dec. - the
street min. has slowed. So, we decided to serve the homeless (Big
group time), on Sat. May 22. We took hot food for 250, and 400 sandwiches, and 30
CASES of bottled water downtown, to serve with
7 Bridges to Recovery, a great street ministry.
Here's a video.
Our thanks to King Kustom Cycle, and Crossroads South
Fulton for helping us with that event.
Doug, Mike, Wade, and Ralph have all served with
7 Bridges. Please make it a priority to serve - it matters
not if you've ever served food or prayed with homeless folks -
7 Bridges will show you (and our whole group) the ropes, and they know
where we need to serve (This is NOT 6-10 folks heading
downtown with 20 hamburgers - we'll serve hundreds).
Here's
a flyer for this
event.
 
Did I mention that
Pastor 7
(founder of 7 Bridges) rides a hog, and will
ride with us? (Yea, he doesn't look like a pastor). On May 22,
two meeting choices: 1) meet at
Crossroads
Hwy. 154
campus at 10:30 am, leaving at 10:45 am, or 2)
from King
Kustom Cycles/Crossroads
South Fulton, at 10:45 am, leaving at 11:15 am.

This is
a joint venture between Crossroads Bikers, Crossroads South Fulton, and
Crossroads Church Newnan, with support of King Kustom Cycles - and partnering
with 7 Bridges to Recovery. Be blessed as you go out to bless those less
fortunate.

Homeless Ministry
The Crossroads Bikers and our church support two of our
members that lead an awesome ministry to homeless men and women in
 downtown
Atlanta.
Doug Landers and Mike Gibby are very faithful to hit
the streets every Saturday to take some food and clothing items - to Jesus.
Did I say food and clothes for Jesus? What in the
world is that supposed to mean?
Then the King will say to those on his right,
"Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you
from the creation of the world.
For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I
was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.
I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I
was in prison, and you visited me."
Then these righteous ones will reply, "Lord, when did we ever see you
hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink?
Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing?
When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?"
And the King will say, "I tell you the
truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!"
Matthew 25:34-40 (NLT)
If you've been blessed, then be a blessing to others and
support this ministry, with food ,
extra clothes (particularly men's clothing)
you
may have, or your time. If you're free for 4-5 hours
on a Saturday, ride with them and deliver some food or clothing to
some appreciative people!
Contact Doug Landers at 404.317.4603, or Mike Gibby at
678.328.9750, or email BOTH of them at homeless@crossroadsbikers.org
for more information on homeless ministry.
 We also collect
coats,
blankets,
gloves and mittens at
church for delivery to
homeless in downtown Atlanta with Soldiers of the Cross. Here's
a link to
MORE pictures of that
delivery effort!
