In 1996, Horacio was driving his Chevy truck on the streets of Dinuba thinking about troubled youth in his neighborhood and wondering how he could help them.  He happened to drive by a group of boys who showed their approval of Aleman’s truck with a thumbs-up sign.

For Horacio, it was a sign from above.  He would hold a Christian-theme car show to attract teens and tell them about the Lord.  And he’s done that for the past eight years.

The annual Cruising for Jesus Car Show has its home show at C.F. Mueller Park in Reedley, California.  Scores of cars are entered in the showing, including bicycles.  Plaques are provided by the Rotary Club of Reedley.  Every year the car show grows, many times with over 2,000 attending.

Rod Harms, owner of Rod’s Body and Paint, said the service club views the event as one way to provide young people with a positive outlet.  “I was impressed with what I saw at the first car show.  The word of Christ was being expressed in skits, music and testimony.  This doesn’t solve all the problems, but it gives youth someone and a new angle to look at life.”

C. F. Mueller Park in Reedley, California was deemed HOLY GROUND by the Community on Saturday, August 16, 2003. 

Cruising For Jesus would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who entered their vehicle in this years Car Show.  It is you who helps to make this event successful.  Also we would like thank each and everyone who participated.

During this event we had a low rider bike that was to be raffled.

Pastor Jr. from Shabhach Christian Center in Selma, California, bought a raffle ticket, then decided to buy 3, one for the Father, one for the Son and one for the Holy Spirit! 

A short while later, he came upon a child, who unbeknown to him had just lost his bike a few days before.  Pastor Jr. told this child that the Holy Spirit wanted him to have the tickets (the child).  He told the child to listen very carefully because he was going to win the bike.  Just a few minutes later, his number was announced and he won the low rider bike.

TALK ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT BEING AT THIS EVENT!!!
