My name is Spencer Mercer, and I am the current Co- Road Captain of the Tifton Chapter of the HSMM. I want to share with you what God can do for you or anyone if you let Him. At 12, I was smoking pot and drinking. I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan youth corps. Racism and hatred were already a big part of my life. When I was 15, I was given 4 months at a youth detention center for being unruly. I was already getting aggressive and my parents couldn't control me. I became sexually active, which just added to my downhill slide. By 17, I had my first DUI and was experimenting with cocaine, qualudes, opium and other drugs. After I graduated, I was selling drugs, chasing women and just being wild. by 21, I got another DUI, driving on a suspended liscense and had lived through 2 or 3 car crashes that the cars didn't make it out of. I wasn't a real nice guy and hadn't been for years. I got married at 22 and things didn't change much. I was still pretty bad. Adultery, drinking, and verbally abusing my wife were the only things I was good at, besides riding my motorcycles. A court date came up and I was sentenced 5 years for habitual violator with 1 year to serve. I got out of that "somehow". I paid a lot of money, did a lot of community service and served probation time. At 24, my son was born, which one of the best things in my life! It didn't change me, though. After almost 9 years, my wife left me. I got custody of my son, "somehow". I was probably drinking about a fifth a day by that time.
I started having health problems. I quit drinking, but had to have heart surgery in 2005. I had a hole bigger than a silver dollar between the left and right chamber of my heart. All the drinking, drugs, smoking, and just general hard living and I was still alive with a hole that big in my heart, "somehow".

In 2006, I asked God to forgive me of all my sins and I received salvation!! God forgave me of all the wrong and rotten things I had done, which was the VERY BEST thing that could have ever happened to me. I continue to try and succeed at having a closer and more personal relationship with God everyday. He delivered me from drugs and many other bad habits and bad attitudes. I'm not perfect, but I'm learning everyday about God's grace and the perfect plan he has for all of our lives. I now know all about the "somehow". God will show you grace and mercy, more than any of us could imagine. God also let me have the Harley of my dreams to use in His name, and provided the Heaven's Saints Motorcycle Ministry for us to work through in His name, glory and honor! For those of you who do not know Jesus as your personal Saviour, beg you to get to know Him. It is so simple. All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your saviour and ask for forgiveness for your sins, truly accepting Him into your heart. "If we confess our sins He is faithfull and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9 Live by faith in Him, trust in Him. "For we walk by faith and not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7 And for all my brothers and sisters in Christ, "Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest whom we confess." Hebrews 3:1

My life became a mess, I was addicted to crystal meth (my drug of choice) And used anything else I could get my hands on. The battle for control of the town was coming to a head with a rival gang that wanted control of the drug traffic themselves. In the spring of 1991. (I just turned 21), we were about to have a war with our rival and I am not afraid to tell you I was scared. I remembered all the Sunday school lessons I was told on Sunday morning and I knew if I was to die in that fight I would go to hell, but I thought I was a man and that’s what men do, die for their cause. I have not seen or talked to my parents in three years, but I had a strong feeling I needed to see my mom to say good bye. If I was to die I wanted to tell her “it’s not your fault, I chose this path.” I tried to call her, But there phone was disconnected, so I called a friend of theirs, That’s when I found out that they moved to Lancaster, CA.(High Desert, North L.A. County) only an Hr. drive, So I drove to there house but they were not home. A neighbor told me they were in a camp about 30 min north at a lake. It was a youth camp. I found out later my mom had been fasting and praying for me, She told me God put a heavy burden on her for me. She was praying I would show up at this camp and turn my life back to God. She didn’t stop praying or believing I would come even to the last night of the camp. So when I showed up on the last night of the camp She was not surprised. The service was just starting and it was an out side service.

My mom was the piano player, so I had to sit through the whole thing If I was to talk to her. (GOD KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!!) Needless to say I got saved that night.I asked Jesus to live in my heart and to help me change my life, and to deliver me from drugs.To make an already long story shorter, He made a way out of the gangs and allowed me to keep my life.I have been serving Him ever since. I moved to Lancaster Ca. were my parents lived and started to attend the First Assembly of God. That’s were I met Tammi Marie Crump. We got married in 1992, I was 22 years old she was 21; We moved to GA shortly there after to start a new family.Now I am a minister in Gods army reaching out to the outcasts of this world, Were ever and when ever God opens the door to witness.

I love riding motorcycles, my dad was big in dirt bike riding and I started riding at 5 years old and never stopped, going from dirt bikes to street bikes around age 17. I'm a Christian biker and have a heart to reach out to bikers. My wife and I are Blessed to be a part of Heaven Saints M/M and we are on the five fold ministry team at our home church, Journey’s Road Ministries, “A Home for the Outcast” In Americus GA.
