Things that mean alot to me: Metal Mulisha sharing their faith

This is about the Metal Mulisha, my favorite FMX team, the loss of one of their riders and best friends Jeremy Lusk, their faith in Jesus Christ and a testimony to the way God can take something horrible and use it to make something beautiful!

I am a big fan of the Metal Mulisha...They are a motocross team based in California. Here recently they had a tragic loss. One of their riders and best friends, Jeremy Lusk, had a horrible crash while performing in an event in Costa Rica, where he suffered severe head trauma and passed away on 2-9-09. I was praying hard for him the 3 days that he was in the hospital fighting for his life so it really hit me hard the next morning when I got up to check his status and all I saw was R.I.P Jeremy Lusk...I remember seeing him perform last year in Fort Worth at the Red Bull X-Fighters and he was supposed to be there this year on June 27th to compete. I realized even more how short life is and how quickly your life can change. Not too long after his passing I saw blogs posted by members of the Mulisha sharing their faith in Jesus Christ and also saying that Jeremy Lusk is now in Heaven. He gave his life to Christ a year ago, at Brian Deegan's (founder of Metal Mulisha & Pro FMX rider) house during one of their bible studies. I also learned that Brian and Jeremy were baptised in Brian Deegans pool.

How awesome is that! Now the Mulisha from the outside looking in you would think that they are a bunch of crazy, party animals, that just did alot of crazy stuff. And that is what they were about when they were formed in 1999. They have turned their lives around. If you take the time to get to know who these guys are and who they want to be it's just so cool! And I know they have a very large fan base of people who don't know Jesus and will be touched and inspired by the changes some of the riders are making. Anyways, The Mulisha broadcast's Lusks funeral live for all of the fans. Me and Jono watched and it was a beautiful ceremony. In the back on the wall was a picture of the tattoo Jeremy Lusk got just 3 days before the crash...He got "In God's Hands" tattooed across his chest. Then Brian Deegan and Ronnie Faisst each came up to talk and talked about how Jeremy Lusk knew the Lord and he is in heaven. They talked about being Christians...They said if Jeremy was there he would say "Trust Jesus" ...that's what he would want...for all those who don't know Jesus to trust in him and give their lives to Jesus Christ. Jeremy's wife Lauren accepted Christ the day before the funeral. At the end of the funeral they even had an invitation for those who wanted to follow Christ. Alot of people stood up and accepted Jesus...I cried because it was so beautiful. Jeremy Lusk touched so many people. But there were also thousands watching the live webcast who didn't know about Jesus...and they started to ask questions on Mulisha's blog on their site about how to become a Christian......The Mulisha had so many emails from people who wanted to know about becoming a Christian that they posted a couple videos and here they are....They are so awesome and are making such a difference...Now I know why I liked them so much, it's one of those divine connection's...I think that's what it's called....enjoy

There are 3 different videos
