Hi, my name is Walt. Some
call me Big Walt or Pinky. I lived life as a Tough Guy and
Outlaw. I neglected and abused my three children and wife of 24
years (She's very forgiving). I was a drug dealer, trafficker,
addict, and alcoholic. You name it I did it. I rode with and
worked for several Motorcycle clubs in Detroit and other states.
I did the dirty work. I was what people refer to as a one
percenter.
I thought I was the Man. In
late 2006 I found out who the Man really was. It is our LORD
and Savior, Jesus Christ. Today I’m still a biker but
now I'm a hundred percenter. I ride and work for the LORD.
I'm a Prayer Warrior. I do prison ministry. I work with a
local High School and Youth Assistant program. I try to council
youth about the perils of Drugs and Alcohol, and self injury. I
teach them that this can be a wonderful world or a miserable
one, it depends on the choices we make and the paths we take.
I'm using my Past / Pain to try and help others. Our
God is an awesome God! So if you or someone you know needs
to talk, I'm a good listener and I have big shoulders. If you
would like to know the Lord as your personal savior, He's
waiting...
Jesus said, “I am the way,
the truth, and the life, no man cometh to the Father, but by me"
John 14:6.
-
Admit that you are a
sinner.
-
Be willing to turn from
sin.
-
Believe that Jesus Christ
died for you, was buried and rose from the dead
-
Through prayer invite
Jesus into your life to become your personal Savior
What to Pray
Dear God I am a sinner and
need forgiveness, I believe that Jesus Christ shed His Precious
blood and died for my sin. I now invite Christ to come into my
heart and life as my personal savior.
If you trusted Jesus as your
savior, you just began a wonderful new life with Him.
Now:
Read your Bible every day so
you can know Jesus Christ better. Talk to God in Prayer
everyday. Be Baptized, Worship, Fellowship and serve with other
Christians in a church where Christ is preached and the Bible is
the final authority.

I met Terry Moore upon getting sober in March of 1994. He would
occasionally invite me over to the house for bible study if and
when I was interested or ready. Never once pressuring me and
that spoke volumes. Unbeknownst to me God used Terry to plant a
seed that took 7 years or so to take root. I began going to
bible study and felt at home with a void in my life starting to
be filled (with God). As a result, I became water baptized by
Pastors Vic & Calvin May 30, 2003.
In January of 2004 I
received my H.S.M.M. patch & Treasurer appointment and have not
looked back since. I cannot even imagine where I would be today
without Barry & Fran, Sue & Terry, Victor, Pastor Calvin & Becky
and the rest of the brothers and sisters in the ministry and Mt.
Zion Church and especially my wife Tricia and our daughter
Cora. God has truly worked miracles and blessings above and
beyond in my life and will do the same in yours if you seek His
face! (James4:8) |

I was saved in 2004 – a shocker to everyone I knew, especially
me! It was in April of that year that it started: One day God
just called me – it happened in an instant- and the huge wall I
had up against anything spiritual was instantly gone. Steve, my
boyfriend at the time, became my savior because he introduced me
to his Bible study and the people in the Heaven’s Saints and by
Thanksgiving of that year I was baptized and born again.
The
blessings in my life since that time have been overwhelming,
nothing short of amazing – God has shown me he can do miraculous
things. Steve is now my awesome husband and father to our
daughter Cora….I didn’t think life could really be this way,
full of love and kindness – The Lord has been so good to me! I
believe in this ministry and its goals -what drew me to the
Heaven’s Saints was the love; love for the Lord, love for each
other, and love for people they didn’t even know; their desire
to save the lost. This is still true today and I am thankful to
be a part of the Heaven’s Saints ministry. |

April 23, 2004. With a
cloud of darkness hanging over me, I went to the Alano club to
get a coffee. While there I saw a man I had seen before, but I'd
never really spoken to him or him to me. I got my coffee and
headed to the porch with the rest. The man whose name is Terry
said "Hi Henry what's up?" Well at that moment I froze cause I
am a Honda rider and he a Harley rider (Hence in my mind the
reason we never spoke before) Well at this present time, I am
headed to the local Christian bookstore to get a new Bible and I
cannot bring myself to tell him this until a voice in my head
said, "Tell him the truth!" Well I listened and told him I was
looking to buy a new bible. He stood up and started walking
toward me (I thought well you blew it again he is a pretty
intimidating fellow). He reached in his back pocket, pulled out
his wallet, gave me a Heaven's Saints card, invited me to his
local Chapter's Bible study, and gave me a hug. The whole world
seemed to spin, and everything before 4/23/2004 was now a memory
but no more pain. I found my Father in Heaven, The Lord Jesus
Christ. The rest is history in the making, and learning to walk
the walk. |

I remember
many occasions we would climb out windows, tables being flipped
and my dad passed out on the floor. I would look at him
wondering who is this man. I knew my father loved us by the
many hugs, kisses and many little things he did for us. What I
couldn’t understand is how he could love us and yet hurt us at
the same time. I often wondered how my mother could stay.
My mother was faithful
in taking me and my sister to church every week. We constantly
were praying for my dad. When I was about 11 my father went
into rehab and received God as his savior.
In high school I found my
self drinking and following my dad’s footsteps. However, I had
a father who loved me enough to look me in the eye and say I
love you and I don’t want the same life for you. I feared my
father, but was not afraid of him. His stern voice and big
stature was enough to scare anyone. However behind that is a
big teddy bear. No matter what I did he would scold me yet in a
gentle way being sure not to scare me away. I knew that I was
making the wrong choices and my daddy would just confirm it my
catching me.
If I hadn’t of grown up
with an alcoholic father and seen how it destroys lives it would
have been easier to become one. Today I have a wonderful
husband and 3 boys. We all attend church and are involved with
the Heaven's Saints. I could not ask for more. God is
faithful. Having parents that support and pray for you is
wonderful. I now pray for my children every day and I thank God
for the life that we have. Our family is really close today; my
sister is my best friend, my father is my hero, and my mother is
a woman I admire and stand in awe of. My husband, kids and I
are growing closer to God every day. I thank God for the life
that I had because I can honestly say I believe in prayer and
all things are possible through Jesus Christ. |

I met my wife and her family when I was twelve years old. We
had both just moved into a new subdivision, and were new to the
area. We dated for two weeks in the seventh grade. Boyfriend
and girlfriend. Over time, we became best friends. It wasn't
until I left home for college, however, that we began a serious
relationship. Five years later, after experiencing the
responsibility of adulthood, we were married.
At that time, we
attended church on Sundays. I even signed up to take the
Understanding God class on Sunday nights. I took the class
for about five weeks before I drifted away from the class first,
and then the church altogether. My mother-in-law would
call us early on Sunday mornings to make sure we would get up
for church.
Once we started a family, I had the overwhelming feeling to
make sure that my boys were brought up to know God. During this
time, we started attending a weekly bible study, and began an
intimate relationship with the Lord. I have since been Baptized
with the Holy Spirit, joined the Heaven's Saints Motorcycle
Ministry, and been blessed by the Lord God Almighty! |

I was born in West Virginia to a very dysfunctional family. My
father was a drunk, and would beat us and my mother. I knew the
Lord as a small child, but as time would have it we moved to the
city of Flint, Michigan. NOW being a Christian in a small town,
where everyone knows you is a piece of cake. Then you go to a
big industrial city, and you find out you are an outcast because
you want to believe in Jesus. I would get beat up on and asked
to turn the other cheek. This humiliation made me very angry
with God.
One night, I went home and told God I did not want any part
of being a Christian. For the next 30 years I lived a very
sinful life. At the age of 19, I had shot a man, robbed people,
and ended up in prison. I was not walking with God, but I
prayed every night for God to help me get out of that place, and
He did. Once out, I forgot all that and went right back to
sinning. Finally, I was so bad, I ended up in an abuse care
center to get help. Once again, God was there and helped me
stay sober. I also had a lot of help from my A.A. friends. I
never drank again, but I still had the behavior of my
addiction.
Finally, I met Dee, my present wife of 19 years, and she
helped me get back in church. Since then, God has worked many
miracles in my life, and used me in many ministries. I am now
riding with the Heaven's Saints M/M and doing a prison
ministry. God will never leave you nor forsake you. God Bless |

I was born in Clarkston, Michigan in 1951. I started going to
church with my grandparents when I was about 8 years old. My
family started going to church a few years later. We all
started going to First Open Bible Church in Pontiac. My uncle
was a youth pastor there, and when he ventured out on his own,
my family went with him. There I was filled with the Holy Ghost
at 11 years old. WOW! What an experience that was! Once you
receive it, you will never forget it.
I was in my mid-forties and married to Dave when we were at a
church service one Sunday, and an evangelist had a prayer line
so I went. I was told that I had some "old baggage" I had been
carrying around with me since I was a child, and that the Lord
wanted to take that heavy load. She asked if I knew what it
was. I said yes, and the minister asked me to counsel with my
pastor. Even though I had a burden lifted that day, I knew I
had to talk to my pastor soon. I asked the Lord for courage,
and made an appointment with him (it took me three weeks). His
wife came with him for support for me. I told him what the
evangelist had said, so the pastor and his wife started the
process of helping me take back what the devil had taken from
me.
I had been molested when I was a child, and even though this
person asked for forgiveness for that terrible deed that was
done, I had told no one about it because I was afraid. I
understand I needed to speak it out of my life so the enemy
couldn't use it against me any more. I still had to tell
Dave about it, and that was not easy. I was even afraid to
be alone in my own house when I would pray. The pastor
said that was the enemy, because I was alone with a man "figure"
and trying to bring up my childhood again. I got
deliverance on that issue also. God is so good!!! I
guess the hardest part of it was having to tell someone about
it, and hearing the words come out of my mouth (another trick of
the enemy). He doesn't want you to confess anything from
your mouth that will free you, with much strength from God, I am
free at last. |

I met
the Heaven’s Saints in October of 2004 after suffering a severe
trauma. Sue Moore and the members of the Heaven’s Saints helped
to deliver and heal me from a volatile and dysfunctional
relationship.
It has
been with the Heaven's Saints support and love that I have been
able to overcome many trials and tribulations. I stand today
three times more blessed in my health, finances, and life
because of this portion of the body of Christ.
Thank
You God! Thank You Saints! (1 Corinthians 13:13) |

I accepted the Lord in my life at an altar call in New York
when I was about nine. I came to know him the end of July
2002 at the age of 22. I came from a broken home and my
parents are both drug addicts. I married and moved out
of state at 16 to separate from my husband after a year
and a child I just had. I was truly lost in this world.
After my separation from my husband, I felt I had no one.
No mom, dad, or husband. Just me and my son.
My husband moved to Michigan in 2001. I was
still married on paper, and I followed in 2002 for
commuting reasons. My landlord from the apartment I was
renting is a Christian and after 2 weeks of living here she
asked me if I knew Jesus. I said yeah, but I was thinking
to myself he doesn't know me, he's never been there. Well
she said if you want to know him, say this prayer.
I went home and about an hour later I said the prayer,
thinking to myself, "Here we go again." But something truly
happened that day: He touched me and I truly understood
Him. Six months later my husband got saved, four months
after that we finalized our divorce. One year later, we
were remarried. Charles, my new husband in Christ, met the
Saints and became a member in August 2004. I just kinda
hung around until I became a member April 2005. The
landlord that watered that seed that was planted many years
ago is now my spiritual mother, the one I never had. The
Heavens Saints are my brothers and sister that I don't
have. They are my family. God has truly blessed me. He
brought me out of true darkness and into the light and
blessed me with a wonderful family. Not only do we go out
minister to people and help them, but we also help and
minister to each other.

I prayed for my husband Terry for 15 years before he accepted
Christ. During those 15 years I was always asking God to change
Terry. His life in drugs and alcohol were destroying our
marriage.
Today I speak to many women's ministries including
our National Rally of the Heaven's Saints. The 15 years I spent
living with an unsaved husband were years God used for my
making!
You see, it was me God was really changing during those
difficult years. I learned commitment, obedience, the ability
to overcome, and the ability as a child of God to forgive. I am
so grateful for this ministry of the Heaven's Saints. God used
Barry Mayson to minister to my husband, who is the President of
the Michigan chapter today. Prayer does change things! My life
today is a testimony to that. |

I started getting high at an early age. I was into the drugs
and alcohol at age 15. At first it was kind of limited, but as
time went by my life spun totally out of control. I found
myself in and out of jails. I couldn't keep a car on the road,
let alone a motorcycle. I partied with various motorcycle clubs
and just started hanging with the wrong people. I got to a
point where I didn't really care about my family or myself. At
that time I didn't want to hear anything about Jesus!
Fifteen
years later I was standing at the kitchen sink looking out a
window. When I saw my reflection, I asked myself “Is this the
way I want to live the rest of my life?” My wife and kids left
me for the last time. I put myself into detox, thinking they
would keep me for three days. On the fourth day, I broke down
and prayed the most unselfish prayer I had ever prayed. I could
not change the pain and sorrow I had caused my family. I asked
God to bless them with a man in their life that would give them
a better future than I was able to give them. With all the
turmoil going on I had never experienced the peace I felt that
moment. It was as if God said “Let go, Terry, and I will take
care of it!” |

At the age of five, I was baptized. At the age of six, I met my
dad. At the age of seven, I drank my first beer. At the age of
eight, I was introduced to pornography. At the age of nine, I
smoked my first joint, and painted my first car.
For the next several years, I continued my downward spiral
straight to hell and suffered many brutal beatings.
Here I am, 29 years later born again, knowing my true father
(Jesus Christ), and a proud member of the Heaven's Saints. God
is truly merciful and forgiving. Thank you Jesus! |

My name is
Tammy Torres and I would like to share my testimony with you.
In one word, it is FAITHFUL. Our Lord Jesus Christ is
FAITHFUL. The word states is Hebrews 13:5 that the Lord said He
would never leave me nor forsake me. As a child I
grew up in a home with an alcoholic father. I loved my dad but
hated the choices he made with his life. My mother came to know
the Lord when my sister and I were young. I am thankful to the
Lord for giving me the body of Christ. When my dad would not
come home nights or when he did and was drunk, I had a place to
turn to in the arms of my heavenly father, as a child in tears
crying out the Lord in her bedroom asking Jesus to help her
Daddy. The altar was another place where I shared my hearts cry
to the Lord. I am grateful for my mother who taught me to seek
God. I am thankful for the women who would hold me at that
altar and pray and agree with me.
With many
years of seeking God and believing that my dad would have a
changed heart, it happened. When I was about 13 or 14 years
old, my dad had a choice: to live for himself and his fleshly
desires or to live for Jesus and have Jesus RESTORE a broken
family. He chose Jesus! And he chose my mom and me and my
sister and I love him even more than words can say. When I was 19,
I married a young man I met in the youth group at church. He
loved the Lord as I and we had begun to share many dreams and
goals for our lives. But, things do not always happen as we
plan. After a year of marriage, we decided to start our family;
only things did not go our way. Within 2 years I had 3
miscarriages. I remember after having miscarried a little boy
at 4 months being in my living room crying to the Lord, (after
being angry and confused and realizing that He is for me not
against me), telling the Lord that my life is not my own and
that if children was not in the plan he had for me it was okay.
Maybe my husband and I would be in mission field off in foreign
lands is what I thought. But, God is Faithful! After many
people praying, God heard and answered our prayers. Victoria
Hope was born. I did have 2 more miscarriages after her but she
was blessed 3 years later with a sister Emilia Faith and another
year later with another sister Mikayla Grace. Wow, how faithful
is that. Doctor s never had an answer or a cure but Jesus did.
There were times during my pregnancies I just spoke the word
over myself. There is life in the Word!
Today my dad is the President of the Heaven’s Saints Michigan
chapter and my husband servers as Chaplin. As for my praying
mom, I love seeing her share the Lord with others in the women’s
functions we do together. She is still a prayer warrior. My
sister and I have 6 kids between us and it is awesome serving
Jesus together. The Heaven’s Saints Ministry has given us a
place to love, to give and do for the Lord. Family is what
our Ministry is… truly a part of the body of Christ. We may not
know or understand why we go through things but God does. I do
know all things that have occurred in my life God has used for
my making. I thank the Lord that my family can share with
others how awesome our God is. Without things to overcome how
can we share with others his grace and mercy? I know the Lord
is in the business of RESTORATION and as a family the Lord has
placed us in being a part of the Heaven Saints Ministry and the
family of God. I thank Jesus for his FAITHFULNESS. |

It sure is an
amazing life to live as a Christian. I’ve heard people say, "Oh
that’s a boring life" or something like, "I hate living by
rules". I have never had more excitement or joy in my life than
living for a God that cares for me and provides like He does.
It’s true it certainly does rain on the just and the unjust but
lets just say I’d rather have God to lean on and to have hope in
than just myself or someone else. My mother and
father loved their children as best they knew. I have one older
sister two younger brothers. My mother and father loved each
other in the beginning, but as my father became more and more
abusive (physically) their relationship quickly fell apart. As
the drinking continued the abuse would get worse. I can
remember getting to the point that I didn’t want anymore
birthdays because it became an excuse to drink and ultimately
lead to an argument with my mother which in turn lead to her
being beaten. My sister and I took the brunt of all that was
happening because of what we saw and heard. We would try to
keep our younger brothers from seeing or hearing because we
didn’t want them to get as scared as we were. Thank God they
don’t remember the half of it. I would become so fearful that I
would burrow myself in my closet as deep as I could and hum as
loud as I could just so I wouldn’t hear my mother screaming.
Some say that a
child that comes from an abusive home or is subject to seeing it
as apart of their lives becomes in time an abuser. Well I was
just the opposite. I could never understand how someone could
beat and intimidate with fear someone who was much more
vulnerable than they were so much to the point that from when I
was young I could not fight anyone that was smaller than me or
that would be intimidated by me. To this day I have always been
for the underdog. My testimony has much to do with my mother,
to see her at one point sitting in a chair in the middle of the
living room with tears running down her face because of my
father taking his belt and hitting her with it across her bare
legs and arms countless times burned images in my mind that will
stay with me the rest of my life. My sister and I were left
with many emotional scars, my mother with both physical and
emotional. Please don’t
get me wrong, we loved our dad greatly. There were those good
times and he provided as best he could and we always new that
our father loved us but the way he was raised certainly
overflowed into our lives. He was abused himself and rejected
by his mother. It can be a horrible experience when something
like abuse can pass from generation to generation. Mother was
on the verge of a nervous break down; with my sister constantly
running away, the drinking and abuse, it finally took its toll.
The depression was so deep, the empty look about her, I worried
for her, what she might do.
In the mist of
all the turmoil God was positioning His people to reach out and
give hope to the hopeless. My mother was invited to church one
day and as desperate as she was she made an appointment with
Pastor Loren. After seeing the kind of shape she was in, the
Lord spoke to Pastor Loren that she needed to be baptized ASAP.
Once he shared with her the purpose and importance of water
baptism she reluctantly agreed. You see, we were Catholic and
we were already baptized as children and were apart of the only
true church so we thought. But my mother had already been to
several priests and the last one said to her there is not much
else we can do. I am in no way a Catholic basher, but I’ve come
to the understanding that there is more TRUTH out there than
some denominations teach. My mother came home that day
literally a new person. I said to her, mom there is something
really different about you, you look different, you look happy.
After a while, she began to take me with her, and I gave my
heart to the Lord at age fifteen. I’ve never turned back.
The Lord moved
greatly through our family. I’m not saying this happened
overnight, there was still opposition and turmoil, but now we
had hope. God is still doing great things in my family’s life
today. Through His word, going to church, and having Christian
friends He has taught us to live an abundant life. After a year
of giving my heart to the Lord my youth Pastor Joe Molosic
introduced me to a beautiful young lady by the name of Tammy of
whom is now my wife of sixteen wonderful years. And I certainly
can not forget the three blessings that the Lord has given us
Victoria Hope, Emilia Faith and Mikayla Grace. I wouldn’t
change my life for the world. Thank you Jesus.
