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.

Great Day! - Quals, Chapel, & Race!

It was a safe day of qualifying and racing today. Our chapel when very well today and was very well attended. There were many great God moments today.... When asked by one of the drivers of I could pray for him to win, I answered, "Let's pray that you will do the best of your abilities." He responded, " what if that is not enough?". I responded, "the Bible says we can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. How bout if we pray for that." He agreed. We prayed!

Do You Love Me?

Part of the chapel message today.... Jesus asked Peter in John 21:17 a very simple question…. Do you love Me?

Our natural individuality, or our natural self, boldly speaks out and declares its feelings. But the true love within our inner spiritual self can be discovered only by experiencing the hurt of this question of Jesus Christ. Peter loved Jesus in the way any natural man loves a good person. Yet that is nothing but emotional love. It may reach deeply into our natural self, but it never penetrates to the spirit of a person. True love never simply declares itself. Jesus said, “Whoever confesses Me before men [that is, confesses his love by everything he does, not merely by his words], the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God”. – Oswald Chambers

Do you love Jesus? Is He your top priority?

God took care of me....

One of our USF2000 drivers hit the wall today after having a mechanical failure with the car. He had a fractured bone in his foot. We had a neat conversation at the hospital about God's protection. He told me "God took care of me again, didn't He?" I answered, "He sure did". He then responded "We need to keep God first".

Wow... It is refreshing to see drivers professing their faith in Christ, in the midst of a trial. Physically, he is going to be fine. Spiritually, we should follow his lead. We should keep God first.

Thanks for praying.....

Intense Weekend.......

It was a great weekend of racing at the Chicago Autobahn in Joliet, Ill . This weekend was very busy from a ministry perspective. One of our drivers “passed out” in the car, hit the wall, and had to be transported to a local hospital. Praise God he is OK, but there were a few tense moments based on the “unknown” at the time. The races were both very competitive. There were some very specific instances that required private and individual prayer this weekend. Please ask God to comfort and guide these individuals.


Thank you all for your continued support!
