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.

Give God the Praise!

Philippians 4:13 I can do everything through him who gives me strength. John 16:33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. These mighty words of God were all used this weekend to glorify Him and encourage others. Thanks for your prayers.....

St. Pete Pics!




Athlete of Christ!

Joao Victor Horto is representing Athlete of Christ. He has this on the top of his visor! JV is one of our Star Mazda series drivers. I wonder how many of us would wear the name of Christ on our forehead everytime we went out. Joao does! Nicely done JV!

You Can't Save Him Either....

....that is the comment I heard from someone in the Sebring paddock area as I introduced myself to a new person... This is the type of environment we live in... An environment that has discounted God and ignored any attempt to worship our Creator. My response was, "I am not in the business of saving people. That's God's job. I am simply here to tell you the truth."

Pray for me as I travel to the St. Petersburg, FL race this week. That I will be bold and stay faithful to His calling!

Sebring Chapel Msg - Come and See...

Jesus set the example for how we are to go and make disciples. He modeled it in his life style and he modeled it in his strategy. Check it out...

1. Come and see……

The woman that Jesus talked to at the well said;

John 4:29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ ?”

2. Come and follow me………….

Jesus went and got the disciples and taught them;

Mark 1:17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

3. Come and Be with Me……

In Mark 3, the twelve apostles received a special position and authority to “be” with Jesus.

Mark 3:13-14 – Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve—designating them apostles—that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach

4. Remain in me…….

John 15:4-6 - Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
