Welcome to "The Righteous Riders" Website!
We are The Rightous Riders, Chapter # 568
We have our meetings on the 2nd Thurs. of every month at 7:30 P.M. at the Cherokee Resturant in Clinton,Okla.
We belong to the Christian Motorcyclists Association (C.M.A.)
This is how it all began:
A man named Herb Shreve from Hatfield, Arkansas organized the Christian Motorcyclists Association (C.M.A.) in 1975 for the purpose of reaching the motorcycling world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God has poured out his blessings on the organization since it began, and it has steadily grown to well over 100,000 members nationwide as of the early part of 2004. Jesus said "Go into the highways and hedges, compelling all to come in that my house might be full" Luke 14:23. C.M.A. members across the nation have taken this as their motto. We ride the highways and byways bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ to those who might not otherwise ever hear of him. We extend our hand of fellowship to all, letting them know that Jesus Loves, Heals, Forgives, and Delivers by his redemptive powers.
You may ask what is the purpose of C.M.A?
The Christian Motorcyclists Association (C.M.A.) is a non-profit, interdenominational Christian organization, dedicated to reaching people for Christ on the highways and byways through motorcycling. C.M.A. isn't a Christian club or ride group designed to segregate Christians from the influences of the world, but rather a ministry designed to thrust you into the mission of spreading the Light of Jesus into the darkest areas!
C.M.A. has a threefold purpose:
To encourage and conduct public worship, personalizeed ministry, and evangelistic crusades among motorcyclists.
To proclaim, teach, and spread the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ.
To encourage Christian fellowship among motorcyclists.
Would Jesus have rode a motorcycle?
Jesus was alot like you and me. The government didn't like him. His friends were few. What friends he had denied him. Hypocrites persecuted him. He hung around people like you and me. Yes, if Jesus was on this earth in the flesh, he would be next to you on his motorcycle telling you he loved you enough to die for you!
You may ask, What does C.M.A. have to offer you?
By combining our Love for the Lord and motorcycling, C.M.A. offers a great opportunity for fellowship with other members and C.M.A. chapters through Christian rallies, rides and monthly meetings. Our experience has been proven in the field of One-On-One evangelism has been used to develope training through out Seasons of Refreshing Conferences and Ministry Team Prgrams. There is lots of evangelistic training and materials through the products of C.M.A.'s audio, video and printing ministries. The C.M.A. patch is recognized in the motorcycling world to offer its members identification with the credibility and reputation we have earned. Most of all, C.M.A. offers you the opportunity to work with an organization respected throughout the motorcycling community to open doors for the Gospel presentation through motorcycling. When a member wears the C.M.A. Colors, we simply ask that their walk and testimony honor The Lord Jesus Christ and cause others to desire that which God has done for them!
How does someone Join?
There is a requirement for becoming a member of C.M.A. , and it is that you be a Christian, having accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Once you join C.M.A. simply asks that when you are wearing the C.M.A. Colors or Back patch, your walk and testimony honor Jesus Christ and cause others to desire what God has done for You! There is no annual membership fees, C.M.A. operates entirely on contributions. If you would like more information please feel free to contact us.
What is a Ministry Team?
Have you ever thought about going to a secular rally, but didn't go because you thought: "What would I do at one of these rallies?", "How would I be treated?","Where would I fit in?" Here is a proven learning opportunity for you, based on Scriptural Concepts -- The Christian Motorcyclists Association's Ministry Team Training Program. This training material includes practical teaching and illustrations, which demonstrates the importance of using your abilities to reach others with the Gospel. After listening and working through these tapes, which also come in videos, you will learn that two of the key ingredients in sharing your faith are being visible and being involved. You will learn that building relationships with others will eventually open doors for ministry in the motorcycling world. Also, remember you must complete a ministry team in order to obtain a C.M.A. Back patch or any item with a large C.M.A. logo.
