Frequently Asked Questions to the Pastors

Question 1.

Will this ministry take people out of my church on Sunday Mornings?

    WOF was designed to help build the local church. We do not participate in rides or events during church service times. We are dedicated to building the local church. Once per year we have a National Rally that is held in August that is a training session and relationship building session that is held Wednesday through Saturday. We advocate weekly home church attendance.

Question 2.

Who is in charge of the ministry?

    Each chapter is under the leadership of its local pastor and is sponsored by a local church. The pastor chooses the leaders of his group, who shall be members of his church, and the pastor remains in charge of the local chapter. Wheels of Faith State and National Officers will assist the chapter with coaching, helping with vision, and in other areas as requested. WOF does have guidelines that shall be followed for the health and success of the ministry at the local level. WOF National Office holds the authority to patch members who qualify and are approved by the local pastor, and National has the authority to remove patches from individuals for violating the member covenant.

Question 3.

Can others who do not go to my church join my church chapter?

    Yes. Ideally, each church should start their own chapter, but one church may not have an abundance of riders, so two churches may join together to form one chapter. The sponsoring church shall have most of the members from its church in leadership, especially the president. Once the group grows in size, the group would normally multiply into two chapters, one in each church.

Question 4.

Has this ministry really helped grow the church?

    Yes. We have a threefold process to ministry, namely Fellowship, Discipleship, and Evangelism. We build relationships through fellowship rides that start at the local church. Everyone is invited to attend, and those who are unsaved are invited as well. We make friends and build relationships with them, and they will come and visit your church. 90% plus of individuals that are saved will tell you that they were saved in a church service. That is why church is vital. Once in church, they will get saved, and they will start attending your church because they have already built relationship with your members. We have seen this as the standard. Others that are saved already that are looking for a safe group to ride with will join your church because of this ministry. This ministry exists to build your church. We also do ministry evangelism outreaches at rallies and events.
    Every member of WOF goes through training that is designed to not only help the chapter, but also the church. New members are required to read "God's Armor Bearer" 2004 by Terry Nance. This book is the best book that we have found for assisting leaders and pastors. It will change their lives. We also have an online manual about fellowship, evangelism, and discipleship. There is an open book test on both of these resources that are required for membership.

Question 5.

What do I need to do to get started?

    To get started, go to www.wheelsoffaithmm.org/contact_us.html and email Chaplain Jeff for a startup manual for Wheels of Faith MM. The manual has every step that you need to start your chapter in your church. The manual is nearly 60 pages, and filled with details and ideas that are proven to be successful for every church. Though the manual is 60 pages, the steps that you need are all on one page, and it is very easy to follow. We are here to help you.
