The requirements to become a supporter or full member vary. Members must own and ride a motorbike, attend membership meetings and participate in events.
For those who are called to motorbike service but cannot afford the time to become a member, or who do not own a motorbike, becoming a supporter is a great opportunity for service.
Supporters earn their Support Crew badge by staying loyal to their chapter and its members and doing the best service they can.
Member
As you have already read about our vision and mission, we want to bring all kinds of people, including members of motorbike clubs, closer to the Kingdom of Heaven and plant seeds of faith in their hearts whenever and wherever we can.
We want to bring the love of Jesus Christ to people, proclaim of salvation through Christ and provide for spiritual and physical needs of all.
As a member you will be actively involved in the missionary service of Bikers for Christ MM. You will wear our colours. If you wish to do so, you should be aware of the following guidelines:
– You must be a Bible-believing Christian (male or female) and a member of and regularly attend a Bible-believing Christian church.
– You must own and ride a motorbike (500cc or more). Spouses who are only passengers may also apply.
– You must have a desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
– You must make a commitment before God, yourself and us that you will not get drunk, use illegal drugs, engage in illegal, immoral or unethical practices (including coarse language or swearing) or sow discord as a member of this ministry.
– You must not allow others to wear your BFC MM colours or do anything that brings Christianity or your brothers and sisters in Christ into disrepute. It is between you and God, so be faithful to Him. We will not follow you, but we pray that you will not wear your BFC MM colours if you are not on the right path.
Women in BFC ministry
Women in BFC MM are full and equal partners in ministry. Whether they are behind the scenes praying for those on the front lines of ministry or riding side by side sharing the gospel. It is God’s plan that men and women are equal partners in ministry.
Each Christian is individually gifted by the Holy Spirit for the work to which God has called them. No two Christians are alike, but all are equal in the eyes of God. Regardless of his or her role and task in God’s kingdom, each Christian is vital to the mission of bringing the Gospel message to the world.
Whether their ministry is visible or behind the scenes, BFC MM appreciates the efforts of men and women who wear the BFC MM badge equally.
Supporter
Support Crew members, also called Supporters, are part of the Bikers For Christ Motorcycle Ministry (BFC MM) family and are loved, respected and appreciated. BFC MM values their contribution and service to the Lord.
Why become a supporter?
Supporters serve alongside members, attend events and go where the Lord leads them to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. As a supporter you are not alone, you are part of the BFC MM family with many brothers and sisters who love and support you. It is exciting to be a supporter because you never know who you will meet and who you will bless.
Prayer is an essential contribution to our ministry. As a supporter, you pray for members, chapter elders, regional elders, national elders and others in times of need.
As a supporter, you have more opportunities to fulfil the great commission in Matthew 28:19: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (NIV)
What is expected of supporters?
Support Crew members attend chapter meetings and events when they can. You don’t have to be at all meetings and events, but staying involved keeps you informed and growing as a supporter. Remember that prayer is an essential part of being a supporter.
Supporters wear the Support Crew patch and shirts to show their support for BFC MM ministry activities and to honour Jesus our Saviour.
Please read the following scriptures to get a better understanding of our requirements. When you become a member of Bikers for Christ MM, you are accountable to God for your decisions and actions:
– Hebrews 4:12-16 – Nothing is hidden from God
– Ephesians 5:1-21 – Standards for godly living
– Romans 6:1-23 – Dead to sin, alive in Christ
This is serious business, so please burn these scriptures into your heart.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact one of our existing chapters, their Member or Elder. They will help and guide you.
