Mertice Kelly, founder of the Circle of Friends ministry, hopped on a bike when Salvation Saloon, biker ministry with The Bronson Project, came to town. The group made a special visit to the Circle, in the midst of their many acts of kindness they did throughout the week in Lake Wales, and offered the Circle of Friends the chance to sit on their very large motorcycles.
