Hi, My name Mark Martin aka Kickstand, I won't go into
the events that lead up to that nickname, but if you
come ride with us, I will give the story up. (hah ha)
The Lord led my family an me to Fellowship Riders. It
has been one of the best things that has ever happened
to me! There are many things that Fellowship Riders
has to offer, Prison Ministry, Angel Tree and other
types of ministries. Also the fellowship that I have
experienced here is amazing. We are such a diverse group
of individuals We have people who work as bank janitors,
stockbrokers, city workers, sheet metal workers, retired
individuals and the list goes on. We all have at least
two common interests, we love Jesus and we like riding
motorcycles. So come and ride with us. You will fit
right in no matter who you are or what you do. What
a deal, serve the Lord and get to ride a motorcycle.
It doesn't get much better than that. A servant of Jesus.

Hi!
I am Chris Sutton.
Chaplain
I am the Associate Pastor -- Adults for Bacon Heights
Baptist Church here in Lubbock. I also serve as the Chaplain
for Fellowship Riders Lubbock. I am married to Shirley
and we have four children who are now young adults. I
am part of Fellowship Riders because of the friends I
have made and the service opportunities that have been
started. The friends in our group are the kind of folks
that will stick with you through the good times and through
the difficult times. It is alot of fun to ride motorcycles
and participate in service projects with people like that.

Dan
and I have truly been blessed by our association with
the Fellowship Riders. We started riding with the group
a little over a year ago, and it has changed our lives.
We have made lifelong friends, and have gone on some
awesome trips. Last April the group was invited to Angola
Prison in Louisiana to take part in a Franklin Graham
crusade. We saddled up and took off and what a wonderfully
spiritual experience, and the ride was incredible. A
group of us took off to STURGIS, SD in August and that
was a really fun trip!! Angel Tree each December is
something that you will never forget and will truly
touch your heart. There are other things too numerous
to mention, but I know that if you come and ride with
us you will find what we have found, a wonderfully diverse
group with wonderful hearts for Jesus, and friends for
a lifetime!!

(Gadgetman):
Road Captain
I was a Senior buyer for Wal-Mart Stores Inc. I lived
in Roger AR until Feb 2003. At which time I retired and
moved back to Lubbock after being gone for many years.
I joined Fellowship Riders because I would be with a Christian
group that would help me live the life of a Christian
and grow spiritually with the fellowship of each member.
I truly enjoy the fellowship we have on Friday nights,
riding, and having dinner together. The bonus is when
we take three or four day trips to different parts of
the country, especially Big Bend.

I came to Lubbock with Mary's job transfer two years
ago and did not know anybody. I do computer work from
home so did not have much of an occasion to socialize.
I love to ride and love to fellowship with like minded
believers. What a perfect match. I have developed some
great friendships and have had a great time with some
quality folks. I have been involved with lots of ministries
and this is one of the best! You may come for the rides
but you will keep coming back for the friendships and
the fellowship. A great way to to keep your chin in
the wind, your knees in the breeze and your eyes on
God and all that he blesses us with.

I
remember being terrified of motorcycles. What if I get
in a wreck or fall off, not to mention what it would
do to my hair! My conversion came on a Friday night
ride to Littlefield. (My first ride) It was early September
and it had been raining most the day. This die-hard
group rode anyway. On the bike, I paid more attention
to the landscape than I usually do. The rolling hills,
(yes, there are actually a few on the way to Littlefield)
reminded me that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills.
There were beautiful wild flowers all along the way
of various colors, I knew immediately that God had put
them there just for me! (He sends me flowers regularly
if I take the time to notice.) There was a cool, sweet
smelling breeze and it reminded me of the “Fragrance
After The Rain”. What an awesome experience,all
on the back of a motorcycle.
Who ever thought that I would put on leathers and mount
a bike. No way, that was for those biker people. Well
I’m here to tell you that I am one of those biker
people now and I count it an honor and a privilege to
be associated with Fellowship Riders!
Needless
to say I am no longer terrified of motorcycles, and
as for my hair, I just throw on a headband and go on
my way. Nobody really seems to care what I look like
anyway, they’re just glad I’m here, and
it feels so good to be wanted.
