First and foremost, 2nd Thief is an evangelistic Ministry that preaches and teaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ and in particular, the Message of the 2nd Thief. 2nd Thief, however, is home of the 2nd Thief Riders, which is 2nd Thief's motorcycle outreach Ministry.

2nd Thief Riders was formed out of Preacher Crane's passion for the Lord and his enjoyment of the sport of motorcycling. While Preacher Crane appreciates the liberty and happiness that riding can bring, he knows it is only temporary, lasting only until the ride ends. After that it is a fond memory, not something you continue to live out. Using this truth as a springboard, he helps guide fellow riders through the Scriptures to discover a genuine freedom and joy that is eternal, everlasting.

The 2nd Thief Riders know that true freedom and joy come only from a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
