Vision Racing Suspending Operations

Please pray for the owner and employees of Vision Racing as it was announced this week that they were suspending operations. Pray that they will find employment quickly. We are currently thinking of ways that we can keep the Bible Study going that we had been holding in that shop.

New Year - New Series - New Oppotunites!

Happy New Year! I had a great Christmas celebrating Christ's birth with family and friends!

God has great things in store for 2010! The Indy Racing League announced before the end of the year that they will be the sanctioning body for a new series called the USF2000!http://www.indycar.com/news/index.php?story_id=15545

This series will be a feeder series that is part of the "Road to Indy" . It will give younger drivers a path through the Mazda series and Indy Lights to one day complete in the Indy Car series.

I am also excited to announce that I will be the Chaplain for the USF2000 series! I will be traveling to all of their events to provide a ministry presence from the IRL Ministry. There will be Chapel services, prayer support, and critical incident support at all of the venues.

Please pray for me as I prepare for this new challenge! Thanks for all your support! See link below for the USF2000 website.

My Racing History

I started working part time in 1999 with Hemelgarn Racing by helping at the Indianapolis 500. I was part of the IRL team at Hemelgarn when they won the championship title in 2000. I have worked part time with various other teams including Panther Racing, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, Racing Professionals, and Vision Racing. My main responsibilities have included pit setup and tire management. The past couple of years, along with tire management, I went over the wall as the fueler for Ed Carpenter and the jack man for Jeff Bucknum, John Herb, and Davey Hamilton. Other drivers I have worked with include Johnny Unser, Buddy Lazier, Richie Hearn, and Josh Wise.

Future INDYCAR Ministry Vision

- Reach out to team members by providing Bible studies at the race shops on a regular basis.

- Establish relationships with leaders in churches located in the vicinity of all tracks on the INDYCAR schedule.

- Use show car and use existing Indy Car simulators to promote the INDYCAR Ministry.

- Obtain funding for INDYCAR Ministry transporter to be used at local area churches and tracks to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The transporter features would include room to haul show car and simulators. It would have a stage and an outdoor sound system for Christian music and driver interviews. The transporter may have a portable high definition big screen for Christian and racing media promotion.

INDYCAR Ministry Purpose Statement

The INDYCAR Ministry is a 501c3 not-for-profit, non-denominational Christian organization, which was developed to pastor the racing community. We will achieve this by attending racing venues, by being available for counsel and encouragement and by providing for the spiritual and emotional needs of this community. We will strive to be consistent in our approach and creative in our witness. Our overall objective is to see lives changed, spiritual relationships strengthened, and to bring honor and glory to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My Mission Statement

2 Corinthians 5:16-21 (NIV)

So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
