In Mark 16:15, Jesus gave the Great Commission to “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.” This call to “ALL” the world refers not only to geographical areas, but also to every people group and sphere of society. For Veretta, this missionary calling is to the motorcycle community, to people on Harley’s and off-road Fast Lane bikes, and to their families.
As a member of the Christian Motorcycle Association, Veretta shares the love of Jesus through prayers, hard work and even through the giving of hand-made crafts, blankets, hats, scarves and jewelry. As a ministry, the vision of CMA is: Changing the world, one heart at a time. Serving both secular and Christian events, CMA comes to serve in whatever ways are needed, from helping with parking or registrations, preparing food, feeding people, or even providing Gospel-centered programs for all ages (with children’s programs similar to week-long Vacation Bible Schools with puppet shows, craft projects, and teaching songs for kids to present to their families). CMA also partners with three other ministries (Jesus Film Project, Missionary Ventures, and Open Doors) to spread the Gospel around the world, through their “Run for the Son” fundraiser.
Veretta loves to pray, both for people at motorcycle events and for her own family and grandchildren. She enjoys praying from Ephesians 6:13-18 and training her grandchildren to “put on the whole armor of God” and to pray all throughout their day for God’s protection and reminding them to keep their eyes on Jesus all throughout their day.
For many years, she rode “bike” behind her husband, serving as a prayer warrior. But a few years ago, Veretta felt a need to “stretch her faith” and to begin riding her own motorcycle as a testimony for the Lord and to identify more effectively with this community she is called to reach. So at age 62, this retired great-grandmother conquered her fears, stepped out in faith and obedience, and learned to ride her own motorcycle. What an example of a godly grandmother . . . and a mission-minded daring daughter.
