Who are we, exactly - and what do we do?
Word On Wheels® had its beginnings as an association of Christian people who love to ride motorcycles and fellowship with each other. The ministries is composed of people of all age groups and from different walks of life, with just as many different past experiences. We minister the message of peace, comfort and hope to each other and anyone outside the ministries who thirst for God's truth. Word On Wheels® doesn't discriminate. There is a definite need out there for the Word of God and Word On Wheels® is all about helping those in need. We now consider Word On Wheels® to be an outreach ministry (a Christian "street ministry"). There is a lot of stereotyping in today's society and we are doing our share to help dispel these stereotypes that "Man" has created for himself. Today, motorcycles are still a major form of transportation for this outreach but it is now growing to include any type of wheels (or none). Sometimes, our members are needed in places where wheels just can't get into, no matter how few wheels they ride! We like to refer to them as our foot soldiers. They crawl into spaces, climb walls, crouch in corners or under bridges and fellowship with those who would otherwise never have the opportunity to hear the Word of God or feel the love and passion of Jesus Christ. Our members are truckers, motorists, bicyclists, some ride scooters, dirt bikes, horses, buses, taxis, some on roller blades, skates, in wheelchairs, skate boards, or on foot. God doesn't turn any of His children away for what they do, or do not possess, therefore why should we? We invite all brothers and sisters to participate, share their talents, fellowship and rejoice!
We have fun, enjoy life's wonderful moments together and we respect each other. We find joy in helping others receive Christ into their lives. We recognize that when we have a relationship with the Savior, our lives are enriched and more fulfilling. Our members nurture their relationship with God by congregating, whether at a member's home, a designated building or in a park...and fellowship in groups for prayer meetings, going on runs/rides and events, and much, much more! Some of our members even attend their own chosen churches, which we have absolutely no objection. As a matter of fact, we think that's wonderful! Those who do not belong to, or don't fellowship at a particular church can still nurture their relationship with God by developing a brotherhood/sisterhood with other members of our ministries.
Financial Support:
Word On Wheels® is, for the most part, funded and supported by its members, through Word On Wheels® membership dues and individual financial support and donations from the community. Every effort to help the growth and maintenance of our ministries is duly recognized and appreciated. Word On Wheels® membership fees and monthly dues are necessary to help fund our ministry's outreach efforts, help defray the high costs of administration and organisation of the events that we all enjoy so much. If we didn't have monthly dues, we wouldn't have any way of paying the ministry's bills, nor would we have any way of funding our runs, activities, events, or anything else for that matter. Every member does his/her share in sustaining the ministry of God's Word and Truth.
Affiliation:
Word On Wheels® is not affiliated to any denominational organization or church. Word On Wheels® is an outreach ministry and fellowship. Its members attend the church of their choice and/or preference. Although there are a multitude of religious organizations out there, Word On Wheels® is truly unique and special. The foundations of Word On Wheels® were very carefully laid down by our founder to be biblically based. We are dedicated to keeping our fundamentals rooted in everything we do. Each and every member has a servant's heart for the Lord and compassion towards those we minister to. We are all bound by the "Spirit of God".
