KOKOMO, Ind. - An Indiana pastor who mounted a dirt bike during a church service to demonstrate the concept of unity is now demonstrating the concept of healing instead.
Jeff Harlow, the senior pastor at Crossroads Community Church in Kokomo, broke his wrist when he lost control of the motorcycle at the start of Sunday's second service, driving off a 5-foot platform and into the vacant first row of seats. He underwent surgery on the wrist Monday.
Becky Harlow says her husband was trying to show his congregation how the rider becomes one with his bike, but it got away from him. No one else was injured.
Pastor Harlow had performed the motorcycle demonstration Saturday night and at an earlier service Sunday morning without incident.
