FAITH Riders provide fitting end to High Pursuit youth camp

By Karen L. Willoughby, Managing Editor

WOODWORTH – The seven FAITH Riders chapters in Louisiana mounted their motorcycles July 24 for their first-ever statewide ministry.

In all, 49 riders on 36 motorcycles roared around the recreation area at Tall Timbers Baptist Conference Center during the last day of the High Pursuit youth camp. The bikers revved their bikes as they rode nearly fender to fender almost menacingly around the 220 seventh- through twelfth-graders, who minutes before had been lounging on the grass.

Instinctively the teens began drawing closer to each other for protection, eyes widened in heightened awareness, and still the motorcycles roared.
