Single time when we on and uh you will be part of a wonderful wonderful show here there’s an opening statement that goes something like this in the Luke in the Book of Luke chapter 14:23 it goes like this and the host said Well Done uh
Well then go out it seems like this is specifically for this morning well then go out to the highways and then the the guys that we that we have here are using highways well then go out to the highways and and hedges and bring in the complete strangers to find there until

Christ also with us in the studio is uh a person that doesn’t need any introducing he introduction or you know him as an anchor person he s his SE more than once he was last night in the studio here with another gentleman from from yfm uh in the studio and the
Morning he was in the studio as well so uh Xavier he also part of the wonderful group and he will share a little uh later more around the the group kindly give us some background about who remand MCC is in what is it that you do as a
Bikers club I want I want to go with with with the captain here as as a Mr press yourself yeah you call himself ref and everybody got like a nickname you ref you Breezy uh you uh zakes give me some other names of the guys in the club

Is dust yes yeah so there’s there’s quite a few bike handles and we’ve got Glenn Glenn Malcolm is uh books is books and then the ladies also have there yes all our wives but all all our wives have we will get to a point where you going
To explain the logo and so on but just give us a little background about Remnant MCC well Remnant was started in 2019 the Visionary actually is uh Arnold Roda um we call him Anie he started the club cont conted um most of the the founding members when we started in 2019
M and the the objective really was to reach bikers to be able to minister the gospel unto them to take our our passion which is biking which is to ride bikes and uh share the gospel with those who are lost there’s a there’s a a a huge uh
Biking fraternity out there and uh sad sadly a lot of them don’t serve the Lord so we saw the need we saw the Gap and uh yeah ever since 2019 we’ve we’ve grown I think we started with uh about six or seven full-time members and we at the moment
Have 11 bikers 11 members with their families that’s part of Remnant so every year since 2019 we’ve had one or two people join us well we’ll get to a point where you receive all your colors and so on it’s rather interesting to to see that because I know I asked my son
Xavier this morning so where’s your jacket he said no my jacket is in because there’s some form of upgrade and we will talk he’ll talk us through um Mr D Mr Breezy be so kind um I’m I’m I’m asking the studio our control room there exactly to put the remnant logo on for
Us just for a while and just talk us through uh there exactly on this on this logo yeah so just talk us through on the logo yeah the logo is up there as you can see we’ve got uh The Remnant rockers that go on the outside
So the main part that makes you a full patch member is the gold part with uh the center part there so when you are not a full patched member or you’re a half patch member as savier was a few months ago um you’d only have the remnant part with the Colossians 3:17
Yeah and um I don’t think you’ve got the MCC you’ve only got those two yeah you only have you have one side yes you don’t have the other side which is RC which is um uh representing Christ it’s in red normally it would be you know
Others have Riding Club but we that is representing Christ and MCC stands for uh motorcycle um club club uh the center part as you can see it there um you know the gold part is you will see Christ with the with a crown of thorns on his
Head there and then the blood flowing on the on the side of his head from the from the from the from the crown so this is the the patch that says we represent Christ he is the everything that we do as Colossians 3:17 says we do it as unto
The Lord so um that is our our our our our motto it’s our motto generally is God family and writing so God always is first in our lives and that is what our patch generally represents and it’s we call it a patch because it’s a it’s something that you you you really have
To earn and once you receive it um you you you’re you’re a representative I must just admit uh i i i i attended one of uh your events and it’s there’s such a lot of great discipline and Order within the club it’s actually admirable to see the respect is there for one
Another and how you guys do it it’s really Christlike with me in the studio also to today I’ve got somebody here that you know since the last two evangelism uh weeks it’s uh uh person that goes by the name of Pastor Denver Foster thank you so much for joining me
Again here in the studio kind of you and thank you for co-hosting and uh you can jump in at any point in time when you’re comfortable for whatever you feel like doing with it talk us a little through about that uh zavier maybe if you can
Talk us through about the left then I’m going to ask Pastor Colin just to explain this picture on the on the the right hand side for us so that that one on the left where was that because that look so admirable so beautiful the view is just wonderful day so the interesting
Thing is I actually took that picture on the left so so what what happened was it was one of our club members birthday right his 60th birthday I think he’s the oldest member in the club now outside of um I think Mr D Mr D is the oldest
Member than so so um so we went he had a birthday weekend um in and we actually went to Clarance right and so for his for that weekend we went and he booked um he actually booked us um some Chalet over there so we was we spent the
Weekend together and so we took this drive I think this is Golden Gate righten we took this this ride down through that it’s like a nice pass comes down Golden Gate and all and then there was the nice kind of cliffhanger thingy that was there and I asked the guys um
If we could stop if we could stop and and take a picture here on the spot just to get that nice you know Mountain scenery down there with the road scenery and this is and and we decided to stop on the side of the road and take the
Picture right on the spot here and um so this wasn’t all the members but it was most of us at the time that were already present and then we we just decided to get that picture there so that was that’s the story behind that picture
Yeah the the one uh Pastor Colin on the right hand side where was that and what what’s happening there that was actually Remnant supporting one of the Ministries here at Crystal okay the the the marriage connection they had a Outreach out in Soto okay and uh they asked remant to
Come out and help them and support that is me standing next to my beautiful wife uh always helping me and uh I Was preparing to uh encourage the young people in that future are there significant roles and responsibilities of each member in the club if if so what what is the roles and
Responsibilities yes so um I’ll start at the top I suppose um with the president so the president’s uh responsibility is to he’s responsible really for everything that happens within the club um to be a support and a leader I suppose um to enourage the rest of the members uh as Brian mentioned earlier
Our motto is God first and then family and then our riding so to to encourage the rest of the members to be there to be an example in our families uh to everyone else that’s the role of the of the president to really you know hold everything together and and and make the
Vision clear and and drive everyone towards the vision and then we have the support which is the vice president under under him um pretty much the same but he’s he supports the president a little bit more and helps with running the club and helps with uh some of the
Um I would say protocols and procedures that that we have to ad to just on that one point I was just wondering if uh if uh Mr Breezy yes if Mr Breezy can explain to us because Xavier was raving and he can most probably just jump in there was raving about the discipline
When you guys like let’s take the Clarance trip yeah the type of discipline who’s in front who’s at the back what’s the function how do you do it and just talk us through the discipline that’s in it and uh you you guys also travel with a trailer and so
And so on yes so give us a little if somebody’s watching now and say oh my God I would love to become part of that club let them just sense the discipline and the beauty about this CL well yeah thank you thank you doc the the discipline is so so so important because
We travel at sometimes at you know alarming speeds because we are bikers so the speed we travel at discipline is is Paramount so we need to ensure that everybody is safe we leave safely we arrive safely so we also uh one of the most important roles of being on the
Road is having a road Captain who takes responsibility which is bus he’s our road Captain currently takes responsibility of the entire trip basically where the route we’re going to take where we will stop where we will turn so you know you know and then we’d have somebody on the front leading such
As the road Captain behind him sometimes the vi the president and then generally there’s a sweeper that just you know cuz there’s different kind of styles of riders um so the sweeper ensures that you know we keep all the all the Sheep get all the Sheep into the crow you know
When you when you’re alive there whether you’re slow rider whether you’re an experienced rider you know we may ensure that we stay together as a team we ride ride together we ride in a certain formation we ensure that we keep to that so when somebody’s out of line we pull
Them back in line and we address that so that they stay within the formation because of the speeds we travel at so that and then we don’t be we’re not a danger to any other motorists any other bikers any anyone on the road so that we quite constantly aware of that and we
Then also have a support vehicle the the Bucky with a trailer it’s a support vehicle for any in case of any breakdown or any biker bike that that that cannot go any further we’ll load them onto our trailer and then make sure they make the journey with us maybe there’ll be
Repairs if not the bike will remain on the trailer but um you know we don’t try to um Force any issue with a bike you know don’t worry you know let’s see how far you can go if there’s a problem with the bike we load it onto the trailer so
That we don’t uh infringe on the the the purpose of the journey now now now you trigger something in me when you were talking about the speed and you were justifying by say we bikers you know you you gave us Sanders and you said we bik
Us after all it’s like you know it’s like don’t don’t expect us to travel 120 here now no now zavia give us give us an idea give us an idea of what’s happening out there on the road of course I don’t think the traffic department is watching
This and they need proof they need Tru they need to they need to catch up they also bikers some of them are some of them are bikers yeah but they they ride those cruises but it’s fine um look when it comes to when it comes to
That U it it becomes a you know a sensitive conversation to have because of the speed that that we obviously travel but but like no no listen take me back take me back in the beginning when you started out riding and and and take us on this journey when you and you will
Help somebody out there so you thought you young you’ve got the you got so this so this is what happens just for the viewers out there for the viewers out there I’m definitely going to dance around the issue of trouble but um so so I join the club
I have I have a thousand CC GSXR right so it’s a it’s a super bike it’s a fast bike you can get and and yeah and and our president has a th000 cc as well he has a newer model than mine but it’s super bikes I mean you can you can get
To 300 without without any effort and without any issues right you can get there and and there’s no problem so so in the beginning I joined yeah I’m with my th CC I know what the bike is capable of I know it can move and so I get there
I see okay Breezy is there he’s an older gentleman he’s riding a BMW I’m just being honest now you know I’m hon guy I like and then I see and then I see um um the one of our other writers whose birthday it was he turned 60 um
Uncle G and and I say okay right he’s an older gentleman I also know him for a long time and so I’m thinking now you know this timers I you know they’re right man I got a thousand I’ll be able to keep up with this time and I see
Colin and I know Colin moves cuz I’ve I’ve written with him on on the the first time time we went to to wumpy down here and we just went for a nice breakfast run so I know the Owens can ride I know they they move so I think
It’s all right man I’ll keep up with the gents yes SRA okay so now on so here’s the thing right and and this is what I learned from from the gentleman over here they say any bike can move fast in a straight line when you go on to a straight you
Can get where you want to be no problem if your bike can go to to that speed you can take it there’s no issue to take it there but the second the bend Comes This is where now you separate the boys from the men okay so we going to Clarance
Right and we moving like so I’m like I got this thousand I’m there I’m sitting with man we there we we moving and here comes the B yes see I’m dropping I’m dropping and next thing I see I’m like how about these J aren supposed to slow down on the B they’re
Not slowing down they taking those BS they’re taking the sweeps they moving they’re moving next thing you know they’re waiting for me down there by the stop and I come there and then I realized all right now I see the boys from the men and so when we sat down
When we sat down in fact I was sitting with Breezy and he was saying okay Z so this is what we call sadle time and I made a sermon about this this is what we call saddle time the more time you spend on your seat the more the more you’re
Going to understand how to take the bands where you looking how you leaning what your bike is doing what you doing what your body is doing and those are the things I didn’t I didn’t take into account I just thought this thing is fast I can move and there’s life lessons
In in that and then I learned it um in a fun way in a light-hearted way but I realized sure there time they know what they do they know what they do but of course there’s there’s space for beginners you guys got such a big heart if guys just
Like when zavia though you have the right bike you don’t necessarily know exactly what speed to travel at yeah okay I want to ask a question uh that uh Rena has become a very well respected uh biker Club in the country and I just want to ask about the values and the
Mission and how that values and Mission have brought about the respect to Remnant MH right okay so um as I mentioned earlier we we focus a lot on first of all God God is everything God is the center of everything that we do he’s at the center
Of everything that we do what we what we are deliberate about is we always say we don’t try and make God part of biking or make Christ part of our biking okay but biking is part of Christ like everything else in our lives I’m a I’m a Christian
First before anything before I’m a husband before I’m a father before I’m a a manager at work or before I’m a biker I’m a Christian so we look we we approach everything with that in mind that Christ is at the center of everything that that we do and as as
Remnant we we we focus on God as we said which is the most important thing uh under God is family our families are extremely important and then biking biking in it’s everything that that goes with that is your friendships your relationships the Brotherhood the the fellowship and all of that that you have
Outside of your family or out outside of church and um the the the world has it the other way around other bikers have it as friends are first biking biking would be the first thing and priority in my life then family and then if I have anything left I’ll have time for God
That’s how it is in the world were there some other biker clubs that was Sur surprised by your discipline and the way you approach it or do you guys ever receive a compliment or is there a word out there because I can imagine there a community there there’s a if you make if
You may call it a Biker’s Village yes everybody knows everybody you guys know that the clubs is around you know how many clubs here give us an idea of how many clubs you know is around in how Tang how often do you bump in one another do you ride together and what’s
The value system specifically when you ride together yeah I think Brian can answer yeah look um we I’m not sure about the number of clubs but there’s quite a few so you know you normally yeah the biking fraternity has Got U you know there’s there’s there’s a lot of bikers that
Need to um especially if you’re a patched biker a patched Rider there’s a certain protocol and a certain respect you have to honor every other biker so you’ve got to show respect to every other biker biker on the road Road um we get together at um you know uh uh
Socials that bikers call some call it day jws um you know when they have a day jel or they’re having a um a social event then they invite excuse me other bikers to arrive and come and support the event and so when we get there I think we you know we
We don’t know the respect that we we have but people respect us for who we are because for what we do and we we’re not there we’re not um you know it’s SP you know we don’t we don’t do things that are against what we believe in so
Um we we we Garner the respect that we give and in the biking fraternity what they normally do is what we we actually don’t you know uh ascribe to we don’t uh ascribe to the fact that you know it’s just about drinking and about jolling
And having and all of these things so we we we we ascribe to the fact that we there to support we understand the biking fraternity I’m very deliberate I’m very deliberate in that question because somebody’s watching and say you know what I want to
Be a bik but my my wife will never allow me because she said all bikers are like that all clubs are like that so so so is there a generalization around it how do you go about if if if if a guy wants to ride with you guys as a Christian he’s a
Christian guy and wants to be part of you but there’s a resistance at home and feeling like now how do you go about to rope them in of getting them giving them the feeling that it’s okay it’s safe ground well we we normally have what we
We would we would invite anyone to come along just as a ride along so you’re not to join not to be part of of Remnant but to come along and see what we’re about because now if you have resistance I mean I’m a typical example my wife has
Never touched my bike for the years that I was a biker she’s not hey you know stay away and all bikers are like that from what she’s seen from previous biking clubs you know I never used to ride for a club at the time when I met my wife but
But before that I I used to ride for for Bond servants so the the the the with Bond servants so the the when you have that you know you’ve got to be able to just go out and and and be with bikers that are Christian bikers so if you hear
They are Christian bikers and you’re interested in wanting to ride by there’s resistance at home you need to um invite your family invite your wife to say look at this is the club that I want to ride for this is what they stand for this is
Who they are look at their you know their social Pages their pictures and stuff and see what they do and what they stand for so that you can get a a foot in the door because you know some wives don’t want to be interested biking is
Dangerous it’s not so we want to portray the fact that we are a very safe biking uh club and uh we we we we follow all the rules that are in the biking fraternity we don’t try to step out of that but we try to almost break the mold
Of what people perceive bikers to be bikers are unruly they w they they don’t respect the rules of the road they always you know want to fight they always drink they always noisy and rowy and go on like thugs yeah so so so so we want to as Remnant almost break that
Kind of mold and say there are bikers out there that don’t behave the way you think bikers are there’s a perception of that how did you raate your wife in so so there’s actually something interesting that that Remnant does that I don’t know if other clubs do it
Because I don’t know what other club’s protocol is but what Remnant does is in the first time we we came in was that there’s a Remnant has a WhatsApp group right for the club and one of the one of the main rules for the WhatsApp group is
That your wife must also be in the WhatsApp group and the reason that came about um as as as the conversation continued I I picked up later on was that when the gents are making arrangements come let’s go right there come let’s go do this come let’s go do
That and then it could cause challenges at home how but you didn’t tell me you were go in this weekend here and there so how do play it safe and then you I just want to make sure because you know what this is not different than golfing you know that no know it
Is so now what it’s like it’s like when you go golf and you play a fourball you know you don’t golf yourself you you you you better arrange that early and it’s like so that’s so that’s why I so that’s why that rule came in let’s put our
Wives in the group chat as well so if somebody send something in the group chat your wife sees you see everyone sees it there’s no secret about it it’s like okay guys we want to do something on Saturday morning who’s in so so that conversation comes in the house how baby
But you on the chat you you saw then we we planning something on Saturday and also um it it if you if you it makes the wife part of your experience and and and the Brotherhood and they they even are fortunately uh our wives even have their
Own chat and their own events that they do without without us okay so so generally the the perception is that something like this biking or whatever hobby maybe even golf it it can take the husband out of the home but we try to prevent that so by making the family
Part of what you doing so our wives have as much say as we have with within the club and with what whatever happens in the home in particular um you know we we don’t want to bring a disconnect between the husband and the wife and and his
Family give me the order again first God first God family and then right so you must make double so your family is intact yes yeah and we we actually try to ensure that when we do any patch or we want to meet your family that’s when
You become your you ride you’re a ride along and when you’re a half patch member it’s about meeting your family when we going out together and the wives are part of it and the kids are part of it when we go to a you know to a to an
Event and we spending the day together that we’d see what kind of person you are how you engage with your family how you engage with your wife um so so those things are what a what a wonderful message to come across tell me uh uh uh
Pastor zavier can you tell me a little about the event I know there’s one coming up I see you’ve got a t-shirt on the Colossians 3:17 and Remnant on there’s event coming up on Saturday so is that one of those things where you where you rake family in so I want to
Apologize I’m I’m not supposed to be wearing this t-shirt it only comes out on Saturday um so it’s a little bit of a it’s a little bit of a pre a precursor um so so but but the reason I I put it on is because my patch is in for for
Full colors and so I thought I can’t now not wear something that says Remnant on it and this is the only thing that I have and so so yeah we are having a a family day a closing family day um actually this weekend we we again we want to make sure everyone’s families
Are involved and like bre and rev was saying we want to make sure your family is there make sure they see they get to know the other guys and it also puts your wife at ease when she sees oh these are responsible men they also Christian
They also have values they also tell and and and there’s this kind of sense of accountability like brzy will tell me no Z you can’t do that or col will call me aside and say watch for this watch for so there’s accountability it’s not a
Matter of if we see like let’s say we went to a dejel right we went to to p for that day Joel and we were there now let’s just say for example I see now a lady walking there with shorts or something this and now I’m smiling and
This col will say Hey brother you were married man what are you doing like you know so there’s that accountability it’s not where we’re going to hey cover up for each other T disappeared with this lady now for hour we don’t know where he
Is but we keeping us D no no no they’ll be like hey my brother what you you know what thing is not to say anyone will do that but just to say that there is that sense of you like the first time I went riding I was with the
Jeans and um one one of one of the the the the founding members also Mr diamonds he he said Z listen all the gear all the time you can’t be wearing this jeans and I had to make a plan I had to go and buy a full pants because
Again the responsibility is that if something if you come off here you fall something you are with us and we can’t afford for something to happen and then we don’t know what happen and so we must call you know we have to call us P pay and call you in and rectify issues
Obviously not in a disrespectful way but that’s the discipline before before P he’s ready for the question uh I just want to know you were talking about your patch I must just admit I didn’t know the value of it since I attended one of your Gatherings yes I didn’t know that
It’s so valuable is that a a normal thing in all the clubs and tell me a little about your pitch why is it in so I think I think maybe PR or bre has to explain that a little bit but it is it is a it is a important part I don’t know
Maybe one of the guys want to jump in on it okay so when we when we refer to the patch or or to Colors as as we uh also call it um the patch has to be earned and the the the any person that that comes into Remnant or into any club
For that matter even even secular clubs um you have to go through what we call almost a trial basis like yes um a lot of the clubs call it prospecting so you you prospecting whether this is for you or whether I am I fit in with you and you fit in with me
Type of thing so you go through that process um it it it’s to see it’s for us to show you what our values are who we are what we believe in what we stand for and for us to also examine your life and and see whether you are someone someone
That that can you know be part of what we are part of the the the patch itself means a great deal I mean it’s Jesus you know that that we represent um I always say this patch of ours in particular we’ve had people come up to us in in
Shopping centers or wherever we are and and they want to uh a funny story I think only people that are spirit filled um can really see what’s what the patch is because when you when you look at it I’ve actually had someone come up to me
And ask me what is that Chinese writing on your back and it’s not Chinese writing it’s it’s it’s Jesus with with his crown but it’s also a good opportunity to share the gospel is exactly so so that was that was my point to patch ministers without us having to
Say anything you know Pastor Colin I I don’t know I don’t know if I you know sometimes my my my wife have attendance in our home uh uh my kids use the word and I didn’t understand it in the beginning uh I was jumping into a conversation and they then they said Dad
Stop picking up stompies picking up stompies it’s like you know it’s like you want to it’s not your cigarette yeah go go find your own one don’t pick up stompies yeah so so so so I picked something up around along the line that you were in a serious accident yes sir
And the first thing I think what’s the older gentleman that was that was not who was with him because he he said to the people I think they mustn’t cut your pitch yes is was it you it’s like the value that’s I said that while I was while I was exactly
Sedated putting you into the ambulance cut because what they will do they cut and you were in a really serious accident just on that one point just just if you can just show us exactly uh how long back was that I I remember I found you more than once you were really
D I was bad I was in a bad state so um it was a very bad accident I they I had two operations on this hand and they put a plate in uh on this bone here and then I’ve also I shattered my my wrist in five five different pieces the one bone
So that to reconstruct my wrist um I had those uh we just call it antennas but it’s it’s called a a fixture actually and I had that in my in my wrist having to to rebuild the bone and wires keeping the pieces together to allowing it to grow back together and
Then the second operation to put a plate on there as well but now now for the viewers out there let me just say this you you wouldn’t believe the the the the this guy could not bath himself his wife had to stand by had to do everything could Pi even eating is like
Everything was like uh what was your what was your lesson learned out of or out of that accident if there was any there no huge huge lessons first of all that do you know anything can happen at any time um tomorrow is not promised to anyone so it it really gave me an
Opportunity to do a lot of introspection into my own life my my personal life my marriage and my walk with the Lord and uh there was a lot of things I believe that I I took for granted before that and I realized Ed after making this after this accident happening uh because
Also it wasn’t my fault the the accident it was an accident that happened but uh sort of a heat and run if I can put it that way so you can do you anything can happen to you at any time and if you don’t live with a a heart of gratitude
Uh towards God and and and know that every day is just Grace every day that that God has given us so I took a lot of that for granted and it allowed me to see that I almost lost everything I almost lost my family I lost my friends
Uh Arnold was with me uh on on the accident scene um he said to me as he as he came back to to the accident scene now cuz he was in front of me and he had to turn around but he couldn’t see me I
Was I tumbled probably 200 M into a into a felt and uh the thoughts in his mind was what do I say to his family what do I say to his children what do I say to the club members how am I going to explain what
Happened here and uh he he got off his bike looked for me called my name and I again by God’s grace I managed to sit up and he found me and uh that’s the that’s the seriousness of of what happened and it took me some time to to realize
Exactly what what has happened it took me a lot of a lot of time alone and a lot of time doing introspection and feeling sorry for myself and you know even when you found me I I I think I complained more but I complain more than
Anyone because I I I just I felt so uh how can I put it almost disappointed in myself in how I conducted myself before this I see I see the rehabilitation towards that yes how many times is a b that you fell and when
You do fa what what do you call that is there some kind of a name that you that you put to it I said it’s just you pay your road tax you pay your road tax and you I must I must just say I must just say some people think bikes are
Dangerous but I my debate back in the day so when I met my wife I was a biker yes so I’m a biker since the age of 16 so I I came to visit her with a bike in any case but you know then we got
Married and then she feel she felt like this is not going to work for us so I had to pass uh uh uh kiss kiss and say goodbyes with my bike and then at a later point I had to kind of first schooler this pretty Ram were not around
There yes I was just going to say the same thing I wish it’s a pretty we weren’t around so cuz you you could have joined us then your life yes yeah so so yeah there’s a lot of outreaches that you guys are involved with so if you get
An opportunity how you go about about Evangelistic outreaches and what type of outreaches were you on already well what we do on a regular basis is um like I said earlier we we this is who we are we we Christian we Christian bikers so we will invite uh
Other bikers to come to join us on a breakfast run or something like that we also have a Bible study that we do so we incorporate the two we go on a ride go go to a venue have breakfast have a discussion and in that way bring the
Gospel to to someone that necessarily wouldn’t have experienced or hear what what what what we are saying we make Christ part of our conversation about everything that we do we we support Ministries as well with their outreaches there’s interesting thing just on that note that um you guys in your Club belongs to
Different churches each one of us yes and I just want I think we only have Xavier and Glen One Church yeah but but we we just want to open it up for people to feel like you know what must I be part of a church is a interest group yes you can
Belong to any church and be part of respect one another’s churches there’s no competition and those kind of and and there’s a there’s a there’s some honor in it that when one rece re the jacket or something you go to that church or just just to say you know we are
Together in all this there’s an incident that happened Evangelistic uh uh Outreach type of incident um you shared that with me about the gentleman I don’t know if you invited him to to ride with you in elevant but share share the story around it so so so so actually what
Happened was um Glenn and I was were were waiting for the guys I think they’ve already gone before us and so we were putting Petrol in at the at the garage and then we saw a guy that pulled up hey what a nice bike man a red RR and
He pulled up and we started chatting to him hey man how you doing good nice to see you hey looking at each other’s bikes and and then I said to him he do you want to do you guys want to come do you want to come ride with us then he
Said where you going they said now we’re going to meet the rest of the guys there um at Pine Haven and then from there we’re just going to take a ride out and then he said hey BR I just had a b of a rough conversation with my wife now and
I just wanted to kind of clear my mind a bit so I jumped on the bike and came here but um yeah man I I’ll go with you guys and we were happy that he wanted that he was keen on joining us so we jumped on the back we went to go meet
The rest of the guys and he met everyone and since then we’ve we’ve been staying in touch with him and um he actually lives up the road from from colon there and we’ve been kind of staying in touch with him calling him making checking up
On him and just checking where he is and so so again that was that was an opportunity for us via what we love and what he also loves M to to kind of start that conversation and then so he came and he joined with us and and actually what
Happened that day was so crazy because then we got then his bike broke down and he got stuck and as it happened his phone switched off while because his phone was flat because he even said hey I didn’t expect to come out with you guys so far I thought I’m just going to
Come to the garage and go back home and then I had my power bank in my boot in in in my bike in the back part of my bike and I said to him okay my brother yeah use us power bank get your phone back on phone whoever you need to phone
Phone your wife phone the the the people to fet your bike and all that and then what we do is we leave no man behind and so one of one of the guys that are very good with that in our group is Max right Quinton he believes that hey you don’t
Leave anyone behind we stay we we’ll sit and he’s very patient I don’t know where he gets that patience but he’ll sit with you for hours which he did he sat he sat with with with with our brother there for such a long time until the truck
Came to pick him up and and as that happened another guy’s bike broke down and so we ended up having a whole Adventure that day but he saw like now these are true Christian men they they sat and waited for me the other guy gave
Me his power bank and I think he was he was he felt some type of felt some type of way about the fact that we conducted ourselves and he and he mentioned to it afterwards he said y it’s the first time I’m riding with Jens that are so like
They they were so worried about me like you guys never left me and he kept saying guys go wait for the truck and and Max was like no we’re not going anywhere we’re going to sit here until that truck comes and and and that’s that’s what we represent as a club yeah
Yeah I want to just ask how does r get involved in community and Char charitable uh cses how do you guys get involved well we um you know we we we involve ourselves any way in our in our our our our whole Community is our family of biking so you know whatever
They involved in whatever uh outreaches they have f for argument sake if um you know uh one of their friends or one of the family members has a an event um we always support that we always like to support our our own members as well as any other bike clubs that have events
That are socially um responsible events so if they’ve got something at jaen you know we’d want to go there and go support if they’ve got a feeding scheme or handing out Easter eggs or so we we there’s an Easter egg run that one Club has and then we out there there’s a
Blanket run there’s a toy run so we get involved in those but we don’t have um as such you know saying this is what we do um for every Community or for the communities we involved in so we have those outreaches that we we we part of
Or the communities we part of so so you know our community involvement is basically through our Network and the fraternity of biking and that automatically goes onto your vision statement that you Avail yourself evangelism and evangelis outreaches outreaches outreaches that’s beautiful so if we even if we end up at at at
Ministries at churches so when we do end up there you know we that’s for us an Outreach it’s to come and display who we are to invite anyone else that’s in the biking fraternity do you at times go to schools and currently we have the the problem that we have communities
Gangsterism drugs amongst our young guys do you probably go to schools and and to have talks with the with with the kids there and showing in your bikes and to little let their minds be diverted from what’s currently happening in our in our communities no we we actually that’s not
What we’ve actually um identified as a as a as an Outreach to go to schools because of you know who we are and what we do in our normal lives as a as a as a as a as a biking Club yeah I can imagine as a interest group yeah
Because you you you you you you you tracked alike yes so so so though though you can go as a one event you can’t do it this you know but the main aim is really to to give an opportunity for other bikers to become uh part of a good
Club are like a good CH Club yeah sorry doc there there’s many bikers I was one of them that are that that that love riding but they they there’s not a fit with many other clubs there’s there’s there’s just not a fit and you’re looking for that so we want to be there
To attract others to um Christ and to give um that that opportunity for bikers yeah who who we don’t find that fit maybe especially Christian uh bikers you know um so so we want to be that you you know just just most probably I I invite so many people on
The set and we discuss evangelism for that matter you know what I’m going to ask remn because it’s it’s fairly I must admit it’s fairly new in our communities um the club is not like 20 years old or 30 years old and that’s what I mean by
New and back in the day there was always this negativity towards bikes and bikers for that matter so so so I I would love to ask the you guys to write a a possible uh uh module uh as as a as a add on it could be even
10 15 pages that adds on because I’m thinking of putting a complete uh evangelism style booklet together and and and and and and biking should be one of those yeah I don’t know if you see what I’m saying yeah because the values already exist yes it’s just somebody
Just need to sit at the table and just connect it so that if anyone wants to train that or wants to explain that and wants to read about it and then they will stumble over this beautiful information about biking then also even that can be personalized as a
Little little booklet 25 Pages booklet with the remnant Remnant on on in front the the logo that’s there and was probably a little information around remn and it’s an Evangelistic Outreach tool that’s a good tool yeah that would be great I think think you guys and you
You guys have the abilities or surely to put that together I think so yeah do you have a question yeah I I want us to to get to preaching or to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ for a while and uh and U whatever is on your heart uh if it’s a
Text if it’s something that you’ve preached a week back two months back a day back it doesn’t matter but uh Somebody’s Watching not necessarily a biker but somebody’s watching and uh can you give us a message but do me if look into that camera there just just
Swing the mic a little closer to your side amen yeah yeah me stay down just help there because you know I know what happens with the chair yeah you know what happened with the the studo chairs it’s like gas you you touch on the wrong gear there
Man the man was was getting ready the word became too heavy the word was Heavy it’s got a heavy word I don’t know if that is if that is a if that is a typical illustration that you wanted to use you wanted to demonstrate the the sermon the
Sermon is going to be are not in Christ this is what this is down go down amen amen so I think the the portion of scripture that comes to mind for me is uh where Paul Paul speaks and he says for me to live is Christ and to
Die is gain and I want to encourage uh Believers in particular to live for Christ Christ is at the center of everything in our lives and it should he should be at the center of everything use what you have use your experience use your testimony um in order to touch the lives
Of those who are lost there are people out there I can tell you from experience uh we we ministered to a lot of men a lot of broken men uh there’s people out there that are searching searching for something they don’t know what it is there’s a gap and there’s a
Hole and an emptiness in their lives and they don’t know how to fill it and they’re filling it with the the wrong thing they’re filling it with friends uh they filling it probably with alcohol with drugs partying perhaps everything else others turned to Gam and other
Addictions but if we don’t go out there and ex show Christ to a world that is desperate for something that that’s if we are not the light for unto a world where there is just darkness all around us we see uh the gangsterism we see the
The murdering we see broken homes uh uh fatherless homes we see all of these things happening around us and unless we as Believers those who are filled with the spirit of God unless we make a conscious decision to live for Christ to be the example to make the difference um
Paul says I’ve become all things to all men that I may save some that’s that should be our mindset that should be our our our the first thing on our minds when we wake up in the morning who can I impact who can I touch who can I
Encourage today who can I just show uh be a show a difference whether you go to the shopping center the person that’s helping you um that’s sitting at that till just just tell them that Jesus loves them just tell them that you know they matter just tell them that there is
Another way whoever it may be someone that you sit next to in the in the taxi or in the bus or someone standing in front of you in a queue just be the light live for Christ and then to die will be gain that’s my encouragement beautiful amen yourself uh Breezy thank
You thank you do um yeah 2 Corinthians 5:17 says if any man be in Christ is a new creation all the old things have passed away he has become new my encouragement to anyone today out there is that there are so many of us so many people are
Going through so much people are really really hurting and struggling um I would encourage you to keep on keeping in Christ staying in Christ he is the the Bible says he Christ within us is the hope of glory so if you have a hope for a future if you
Looking for a future it is rooted in Christ you have to find your way in him him and live in him and live through him and so many of us are going through so much I don’t think there’s any need for us to make anything difficult for anyone
Else so just make it easy for anyone else just make their lives a lot simpler when you are in their presence when you are around just love them because so many you may be going through it you may be a biker you may be a a preacher
That’s going through the most in this time it’s as if the world is upside down inside out back to front we do not know where we going we we we we almost get lost in this mire of confusion that the the world is currently in but
Our the Bible is a is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path when we stay in the word we stay rooted and we look to Christ we look to him to be our guide we look to him to be the Morning Star the Bright Morning Star the lead so
We trust so if you are are going through the most if you’re going through some difficulty in your life my encouragement is stick in Christ stay in him stay with him he’s going to see you through because this he too knows and he will bring you through yeah beautiful man
Maybe Somebody’s Watching somebody’s watching and watching the show and said I’m interested in what I what I heard how do I get into contact with these people is there handle is there a number to phone how does people or anybody get in contact with so I think the the
Easiest way to get into contact with us would would be on our social media platform um to be able to send us a inbox message there or you know a direct message but it’s not personal does the bikers have a a specific page yeah on on
The biker page so that is Remnant uh MCC yes remant MCC is on Facebook on Facebook and Instagram and then um yeah I think you know look if you want to get involved or want to just not get involved you just need some prayer you need some assistance you need
Some guidance you need to just Enlighten yourself I think it doesn’t harm for us to give a number out can to can we on the show yeah you don’t you it’s it’s not necessary now because we’re going to ask uh our our our team most probably
Just to put it put it in there and then they can just scroll scroll to that um tell me um um the a website did you do you guys have a website a website I don’t if we have a website we don’t have a website but we do have our social
Media platforms yeah for bikers out there and I just want to also just advise don’t go out and just buy a bike I think the first thing you do if you want to become part of this club and even if you’re a new biker connect with
Them yes they’ve got such a lot of experience on bikes that you can’t purchase the wrong bike yes and and and they also warn you or show you exactly how expensive a bike is and then there’s a better option there such a lot of experience within the team um would you like to
Give an encouraging encouraging message al there yeah so so my encouragement would be Philippians 4 um where it says um be anxious about nothing but in everything in prayer and supplication make your request known unto God and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and
It will guard your mind and um like everyone was saying there’s a lot going on a lot of people are anxious a lot of people are stressing and worrying and panicking about how to make ends meat how to cover the pond how to cover school fees how to do this how to do
That and there’s a lot going on um but like like the message went out today to say that keep God the center of of of everything every decision that you make ask God make your request known unto him that’s the whole point of the of the scripture make your request known unto
God say hey Lord I’m struggling here um put the right people in my in my Serv CES or you know show me something that I need to do give me guidance give me understanding give me knowledge wisdom show me who I must speak to what I must
Say when I get there just give me some direction and God will hear your cry and he will hear your plea and he will actually he’ll do it for you I’ve seen it many many times that I’ve been in that space where I ask God you put the
Right people in my circles and he’s done it in different areas of my life where I have people I can call for different things that I’m going through if I’m facing something I can make that call if I need some Financial assistance I can make that call and again that would be
Because I made my request known unto God yes and then the peace of God this is the important part it surpasses all understanding it guards your heart and your mind especially if you laying up here in the middle of the night thinking how am I going to make this how am I
Going to do this the children there’s pressure there’s this the peace will will cover your mind and your heart to say okay right it’s fine you’ll be okay go and sleep amen and go and rest closing remarks uh Pastor the Bible says that I can do all all things to
Christ and meaningly said all things to Christ and uh the message go out there today that uh put everything I know we going to towards Christmas and have seasonal times put all things in Christ and I believe that if we put everything that we have our family our children our
Finances everything that we have if we put it in the hands of God I believe that God will see us through hallelu as we go through a new year 2024 to prer Colin swz Xavier Hendrick my co-host here Denver Foster thank you so much for a wonderful time really really a wonderful
