Name: Heinz J Maurer
Born: 03-03-1958
Time in ministry: since 1994
Personal history:
I was born and raised in Germany. I came to the US in 1975 and moved to Illinois. For five years I worked there locally, then I spent six years on the road as an owner/operator truck driver. I quit driving in 1986 made friends riding my Harley and partying with other bikers. I got married and moved to Missouri. After I messed everything up with excessive partying and drinking I got divorced.
Once I finally figured out I was going nowhere and was only trying to destroy myself, I started looking for a better life. I met a lady in 1994 and together we committed our life to Jesus and things haven't been the same since. Life is not perfect, but it now has meaning and purpose.
My son Casey (he was born on June 28, 1989) and I started riding dirt bikes together 1995 and before long we decided to try Motocross racing. We both loved it. Since we both loved the track we prayed about what we should do. We believe that God wanted us to bring Jesus to the track and this Ministry was born. A few broken bones later my son decided to join the US Marines, but we (my wife CC and I) still feel called to minister at the track. Casey is still constantly talking about racing and I still don't have sense enough to quit.
In my other life, I am a Project engineer/manager for a company that installs DC power systems for Telecom and Cable companies. This helps provide the funding for this ministry.
Family:
I come from an old fashioned German family and am married to lovely lady from Texas that supports me in everything I do. I have a son from a previous marriage that was born in 1989. He is very important to us and my wife helps him to be the best he can be.
Desires and hopes:
I would like to ever draw nearer to Jesus and impact as many people as possible with his message.
Hobbies:
Any kind of motorcycles. I ride a 2008 Honda CBR 1000RR and my son and I love to Motocross.
Music:
I like the old style Christian in the mornings to set the mood, but for the most part its rock and roll. You would be amazed how much Christian Rock is available. I love any kind of electric guitars.
People that inspire me:
Dr James Dobson from Focus on the family, Charles Stanley, Billy Graham
How do I want to be remembered?
I would like people to remember me as someone that put God ahead of everything else and someone that could be counted on.
What does God mean to me:
God through his son Jesus is my Lord and Savior. He is what gets me through the day and makes life have a meaning. I can always count on him.
What has God done for me?
He has taken me from a path of self-destruction and brought me into fellowship with him. My life went from no purpose to inner peace with being blessed in almost every area of life.
