CMA SPECIAL FEATURE

We are pleased to introduce your new National Evangelist for the West Region , Doug and Terri South , from Florence , Oregon . In 2013 , God blessed Doug with a wonderful bride , Terri . Even though they lived an hour apart , they managed to date for five months before marrying . Stay aware , folks , because you never know what the Lord might be doing . Between them , they share four adult children , two boys , two girls , and a six-year-old grandson . Both were saved at a young age . Doug started walking with the Lord and making Him more of a priority in his life around 1999 , and
Terri ’ s relationship with the Lord deepened in 2005 .
Doug started out as a diesel mechanic , went to college for automotive tech , and holds multiple certifications as an electrician apprentice , welder , real estate agent , and CDL class A . In addition , he held a valid contractor ’ s license and had a construction and excavation business up until becoming an Evangelist . Terri worked as an office manager of a dental practice in Anchorage , Alaska for 14 years and worked with Doug in the construction business since their marriage in 2013 .
Doug , a CMA member for 31 years , has served as Road Captain , Chapter President , Area Rep , and State Coordinator . Terri married into the Area Rep position in 2013 . They are very excited to get to know and serve the members of the West region . The Souths see CMA as one big family and look forward to spending time with all the members at events and on the road .
CMA is honored to present your new National Evangelist for the South Central Region , Steve and Lynn Brackeen . When not on the road , they reside in Oklahoma City , Oklahoma . Steve was raised in church and walked the aisle with his friends as a young boy . However , after serving in church for many years , he realized he had never truly accepted Christ as his Savior and came to know the Lord in his late 20 ’ s . He was ordained as a deacon at age 33 and received his minister license in 2012 . Lynn began attending church with Steve , and she vividly remembers asking Jesus into her heart at age 22 .
Steve and Lynn both graduated from Moore High School in 1981 , but with over 900 classmates , they did not meet until the following year through a mutual friend . Steve completed two years of college and became a police officer . He worked for the State of Oklahoma for approximately five years before moving to the Oklahoma City Police Department , where he retired as a Master Sergeant with 30 years of service in March 2020 . Lynn received her bachelor ’ s degree from the University of Oklahoma and became a Certified Public Accountant . She left her full-time position in October of 2020 but maintains a small private practice from home . Steve and Lynn recently celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary . They have one child , a daughter , Amy , son-in-law , Christian , and two grandchildren , Josie and Andrew .
Steve has previously served as Road Captain , Vice President , and President at the chapter level . Lynn never accepted any chapter positions because she always wanted to assist Steve with whatever he was doing . They became Area Reps in 2008 and State Coordinators in 2018 . Steve and Lynn said , “ We are honored and excited to be on the national staff and to work with this great team . We are looking forward to ministering with and to the membership of this God-inspired ministry .”
We are pleased to announce that Brad and Shawna Hall have accepted the call to be National Evangelist overseeing the Southeast Region . Along with their two daughters , they hale from Andalusia , Alabama . They met in Jackson Hole , Wyoming , married in 2000 , and have enjoyed riding together since . They each ride their own bikes , and their two daughters are active in CMA and motorcycling .
Brad worked in Wildland Fire Management for ten years in different capacities until 2013 . In 2013 , he resigned from Federal service to pursue full-time ministry , serving as a counselor , student and associate pastor , and domestic missionary . Brad earned a Master ’ s Degree in Professional Counseling and worked in Children ’ s Hospitals and local school systems as a counselor . Shawna has worked in the public school systems for the past 11 years as a para-professional . She has her Associates degree in Early Childhood Education .
The Halls have been CMA members since 2013 and served faithfully at the local chapter level as officers , and at the state level as Area Reps and State Coordinator . Since accepting the Lord as a child , Brad experienced a powerful encounter with Jesus in the fall of 2012 . Shawna surrendered her life to

the Lord in 2000 . They were radically changed as the Holy Spirit worked in their lives , marriage , and family . Feel free to ask them how Jesus transformed their lives together . The Halls , humbled and excited , do not take this new opportunity lightly as they look forward to sharing the unsearchable riches of Christ with the members and serving our risen Lord within the Christian Motorcyclists Association .
