Rags, Water, Sunflower Seeds and the Gospel



Show and Shine, an event where people bring their Harleys and hot rods to show off, attracts thousands of people every year from all over Manitoba and surrounding areas. It is held in conjunction with the Corn and Apple Festival in Morden, Manitoba, at the end of August. What better place to reach bikers with the gospel of Jesus Christ!
This year we tried something different: I picked up tracts, with the plan of salvation, from LifeLight Ministries, and we wrapped each one in a polishing cloth. As we greeted the bikers when they rode in, we handed them the cloth—a rag to clean their bikes and God’s Word to clean their lives!
The southern Manitoba chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association (CMA) set up a hospitality area in a cool, shaded area, where we handed out bottled water, bags of sunflower seeds and Hope for the Highway New Testaments from LifeLight Ministries.
Every once in a while bikers who have received a New Testament will come back to us the next year with questions about verses they have read.
