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.

Bibles Ordered & Vision Study!!

The Bibles for the crew care packs have been ordered thanks to the donations of our Small Group Class at Indian Creek Christian Church! Praise God! We are still raising funds for the backpacks and other items. Our Daily Bread donated 500 devotinals which have already arrived! Pray that God will bless this project and it will work to further His kingdom!

The Vision Racing Winners Circle study is going well. Some of the topics related to Joe Gibb's book Racing to Win that have been discussed are, trials, spiritual trasnformation, God's plans for your life, prayer, and the desires of your heart. Pray that God will continue to lead the subject matter every Wednesday at 11:30!!!!

Crew Care Pack Project!!

We are moving forward with a project for next year!!! We are raising funds for a “care package” for each of the crew members for next year…. I am getting’ excited about this…. The pack would include:

New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs Bibles with the IRL Ministry logo imprinted on the front cover, drawstring backpacks with the IRL Ministry logo on it, 60 day devotionals, tool box decals, IRL Ministry 3 fold flyers, beef jerky packs, trail mix, gum, mints, a bottle of water, etc. to fill out the packs.

If you would like to be a part of this project, please let me know! We still need money to order the Bibles and bags and are looking for the rest of the supplies to pack the bags!

A bible in each IRL crew member's hand. How cool is that!!!!!!!!! God Bless!

Vision Study Update

We covered the first two chapters of the Joe Gibbs "Racing to Win" book yesterday. We had 6 guys attend and two more that showed some interest! I believe the Holy Spirit was present as we had great interaction and discussion. Please pray as we continue this study next week!

Also pray for the other studies at the IRL offices, Panther Racing, and one "in the works" at Andretti Green Racing.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas season! Let's keep Christ first in our lives this year! I have been working on my schedule and budget for next year. I have submitted them to my church, Indian Creek Christian Church (http://www.thecreek.org/), who partially supports me in my involvement in the IRL Ministry. I will be attending approx. 13 races next year! I am so excited to be led by the Holy Spirit in this effort!

I will be running the Vision Racing Winner's Circle this Wednesday. We are going through the Joe Gibbs book "Racing to Win". Pray that God will be present and actually leading the study (not me).

Please pray for those who have lost their jobs in our racing community. These are difficult times for the teams and team members. Also pray for George Del Canto and his family from Kingdom Racing (http://www.kingdomracing.net/). His wife recently went home to be with the Lord. Pray that they will see God's control and direction in this difficult time.
