WIMINS WATCH

 THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE mistakenly linked the Soldiers For Christ Motorcycle gang whose members have been indicted for numerous crimes by the California A.G. s Office, with the Bikers for Christ .The Chronicle story mistakenly included a link to the website of Bikers for Christ, and the michaelsavage.com website accompanied its link with a photograph of a Bikers for Christ member.

The following statement needs to be made: Bikers for Christ is a bona fide Christian ministry with chapters all over the U.S. and overseas, and does not have any affiliation to Set Free Soldiers whatsoever.

The ministry of BFC was started in 1990 by Pastor Fred Zariczny, or Pastor Z., as he is known.

This international ministry has over 3,500 members. It is biblically sound and has received dozens of excellent reference letters from pastors of different denominations all over the country. 

BFC also puts on rallies across the U.S. to raise funds for special causes, including Saint Jude's hospital, young people suffering from diseases or disabilities, veterans groups and, most recently, "Downed-Biker Rallies," for bikers who suffer from a crash.

BFC's headquarters in Oceanside, Calif., also houses "Rushing Wind Ministries" Biker Church. Pastor Z's teaching and preaching style is a cross between Billy Graham and comedian Robin Williams. As an evangelist, Pastor Z. also preaches at churches and rallies across the U.S.
