Thunder from Heaven : From Gutter to Glory

When a bike gang rolls into a town on their motorcycles, forty or fifty strong, it sounds like rolling thunder in the distance. As they get closer, people have been known to say; a gang thundered into town last night and ripped up the place. This is the reputation that we had, when I was a member of the Henchmen Motorcycle Club. The Lord thundered from heaven, and the Highest uttered His voice; and He sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them. 2 Samuel 22:14-15 Even though we were one of the most notorious biker gangs in Canada, we were no match for a God who thunders from heaven. This is a story about a loving God, who sends forth thunder and lightning in order to bring hardened sinners to a personal relationship with Him. The thunder is frightening at first, and the storm can change everything in its path, but it leaves everything new, and brighter than before. This is my story of how I came face to face with the God who thunders from heaven. As a young man, Dale Hoch was a member of the Henchmen Motorcycle Club. He was brought out of a life of drugs, gang wars, prison, and violence-changed by the power of God! He is currently the pastor of World Outreach Ministries, which he and his wife, Edith, founded. He also hosts a weekly radio broadcast, Ministry in the Word, on Faith FM 94.3 in Kitchener, and has a weekly television ministry called Faith On Fire on Daystar Television. Dale has travelled and ministered extensively in youth rallies, evangelistic services, prison ministry, camp meetings, and crusades. This has taken him to countries such as India, Egypt, Mexico, Haiti, Trinidad, Jamaica, Sri-Lanka, Cuba, and countries in Africa as well as throughout Canada and the U.S.A. He has seen many miracles and thousands receive Christ as their Saviour.
