On May 11, 1980, Ben Priest met Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior on the streets of Houston, Texas. After living many years in rebellion as an outlaw biker addicted to drugs and alcohol, Ben prayed a simple prayer. " Jesus saved Ben and filled him with the Holy Ghost. He was healed of kidney and liver disease and for the first time in years, he was in his right mind. At the time of his
salvation, all Ben knew was motorcycles and street life and that he wanted to be used by the Lord. Jesus gave him the vision for Tribe of Judah Motorcycle Ministries in prayer, and also blessed him with a motorcycle which became a pulpit. Ben as sent forth to evangelize the outlaw biker world, a segment of society not ordinarily reached with the Gospel. Since that time, over 60 chapters of TRIBE of JUDAH have been established across America, Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, Finland, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, & Sweden. For over 37 years, the Gospel has been shared with the outlaw biker world and beyond, as Ben and his wife, Tammy, and the ministry members of Tribe of Judah have continued to go!
