Mark (Kickstand):
Scout Master

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. Mark Martin


 
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. Chris


 
Dan (Road Captain) and Tonya Oldham (photographer):

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!!


 
Barney (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.


Elizabeth Robles :

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.
