| He calls himself Minister Jack, and he reaches out to people he says traditional churches don’t. He bought this belt buckle, his favorite article of clothing, in South Carolina for $10. ‘One day a lady came up to me when I had it on and said, “Man, you will always have Jesus Christ with you.” ‘ Now he wears it every time he ministers. Minister Jack, who says he is a ‘biker for Christ,’ used to be in a biker gang. He says he found Jesus when voices told him that he was going to hell. Minutes later, his mother called him and told him the same thing. ‘So I asked Jesus to help me, and they [the voices] went away.’ He adapted his biker outfit for his ministry. He converted his knife holder to hold anointing oil. Instead of a bike, he drives a red Ford Escort with dozens of ministry decals. ‘I wear what the Lord tells me to wear,’ he says.
