Riding for Christ
After leaving prison,
'Midget' become part of a motorcycle ministry promoting Jesus!
|
Someone
took the time to visit George 'Midget' Whirley's prison cell more
than 10 years ago.
Before then, Whirley spent 20 years of his life in and out of
trouble and jail cells. But during that visit with Jim Garmany, a
member of Unchained Ministries, Whirley turned his life around.
Today, Whirley, 41 is a dedicated member of Unchained
Ministries.
Whirley also volunteers as a chaplain at the Johnson County
jail. He visits people at the work release center.
During bike rallies, Whirley and other members of Unchained
Ministries and the Unchained Motorcycle Club give away Bibles and
the news of Jesus Christ.
For 11 years, Whirley dragged a 10-foot-tall wooden cross from one
side of the campground to the other during the Bean Blossom Boogie,
a huge July gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts set in Brown County.
" The first couple of years, it was offensive to them," Whirley
says of his commitment to drag the large cross through crowds of
partying bikers. "But after that, they seemed to respect me. I carry
that cross around to represent Christ."
Carl Beadle of Linton, In youth minister and founder of the
Unchained Ministries, and many other members of this 15 - year old
ministry are known for reaching out to bikers.
" Someone took their time for me when I was locked up." Whirley
says.
With a lone earring sparking from his earlobe and a log, neat braid
of hair down his back, Whirley wear much of his story on his
weathered, black leather jacket. |

Large
embroidered letter across the back of his coat read "Unchained
Ministry"
and "Bikers for Jesus."
The front of his jacket is dotted with gold crosses. Whirley
motorcycle is decorated with the same messages. When ride with the
Unchained Ministry, a group of more then 80 other bikers, he rides for
Jesus Christ, Whirley says.
"God is good," Whirley
says from the Greenwood home he shares with his wife Vera.
