The INDYCAR Ministry and my Involvement

The Indy Car Ministry provides chapel services at each track where the Indy Car, Indy Lights, Pro Mazda Championship, and USF2000 series race. Chapel services include Christian music, Holy Communion, prayer, and a biblical message. We provide prayer and counseling support to drivers and team members. Bible studies are also provided at some of the race shops.

K-Love and Building 429

God is nothing short of amazing... My wife and I attended the Building 429 concert last night at the Indianapolis Baptist Temple/The Life Center in Southport. It was an amazing concert and those guys definitely have a heart for Jesus. I met representatives from K-Love radio station and Building 429 and we talked briefly about the possibility of having Building 429 play at one of the IRL events and/or K-Love sponsor the event. When I approached them to discuss this they told me that just a few weeks prior they had discussed how they wanted to get involved with the IRL and/or the Indy 500. God made our paths cross last night! We will be meeting with a K-Love representative within the next few weeks to discuss potential opportunities. God has the plan. It is up to us to follow it!!!!

New Trailer!!


The IRL Ministry is getting a new trailer! Our old trailer is being traded for the one shown pictured here... thanks to Sinden Racing Services! The new trailer is larger and will provide room for the golf carts, sound system, 2 indy car simulators, and, of course, Bob's motorcycle. It will be towed behind the motor coach to all the IRL Events (except Japan of course).

The trailer is currently getting new tires and some general maintenance. This is thanks to Sinden Racing Services. It will then get brand new graphics on the side and back thanks to Bart at Business Art & deSigns (http://www.businessart.com/). I'll update the blog as pics are available of the trailer with the new graphics.

God continues to bless the IRL Ministry and our efforts by putting key people in our paths that are volunteering their time and talents to benefit the ministry. The goal of these logistics is obviously to reach others for Christ!!

Arrangements for Homestead and St. Pete Races are complete!

The travel and hotel arrangements are complete for the Homestead and St. Pete races. The flights were a little expensive for the Homestead race, but got a great deal on the hotel which made up for it! The flights were cheap for St. Pete and the hotel was a little more.... But, both weekends are well within my budget!!! Praise God!

Special thanks to Sally at Indian Creek Christian Church for making the flight arrangements and Ian from Greenwood Travel for locating the hotel and rental cars and making those reservations!!

I am really excited to see what God has in store and am ready for the season to start!
