Johnny Lujan: Equipping an Army of Leather-Clad Believers

Dokimos Project graduate (2016) Johnny Lujan is the pastor of Thunder Road Biker Church. He started the church in April of 2010. The church reaches a demographic of people that usually incurs drug addiction, alcohol abuse, violence, incarceration and a lifestyle few encounter or ever get free of. Thunder Road Church is a safe and inviting place where people of this lifestyle have been healed by the blood of the Savior. Johnny says, “It’s a welcoming home where others look like them, smell like them. Leathers and jeans are the normal church clothes. It’s a place where tattoos tell stories of overcoming hurts, sorrows and heartaches and are not looked upon as evil, but as redemptive conversation pieces. The liabilities of our past have now become the assets for our future. We love each and every person who walks in the door equally where they are. We do not focus on their past, but on their possibilities and not on their prior convictions, but on the creation of their new story. Amen!”

The church leaders sense a calling to expand Thunder Road church to the 80 corridor, around the Rocklin/Roseville area. They plan on launching one Sunday evening a month to start and see how the Lord will expand their territories. There is a strong feeling for the need to create a template of sorts where, in the future, Thunder Road Church can be launched in other cities, regions and states to create a safe and inviting place to all Bikers. Johnny says, “We are about creating an Army of leather-clad believers whose convictions and testimonies are so powerful that the gates of Hades will tremble at the roar of their pipes and the presence of Lord to take back Sacramento for Jesus Christ! We want to see the enemy flee and the doors open for the Gospel to take hold! Amen!”

Be in prayer for the expansion of Thunder Road Biker Church-- for financial provision, a place to hold services, and the Lord’s favor to go before them. For more info, visit: www.thunderroadchurch.com
