Prayer Request

Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.

I am in the midst of an incredibly low season; for quite some time depression has set in, and waves of attacks have come in both my business and personal life. I have seen goals crumble, relationships strained, sleep deprived, attacks of the mind indescribable, physical pain, slipping mentality…..I could go on but the details matter not. Mine enemy has been relentless with the fiery darts the Bible speaks about. He seeks to prey on the weak, and with the chaos of my world this summer, I have become weaker. God laid it on my heart, showed me the door to this new ministry, and Satan knows it is a field ripe for harvest. Satan knows the level the dirt bike racers idolize their machines as gods; misguided focus without using their gifts to draw glory and others to the One true God. I have had countless conversations this year with people at the track about their faith, seeing change in small ways, that can have eternal consequences. God is at work in the Trackside Ministries, drawing the lost home.

He put it on my heart to lay the foundation for conducting baptisms, for going into a river and publicly saying how much you love Jesus, how you want a new life in Jesus, and him to be your Lord. The act of baptism is one that can change the heart to a deeper relationship, one that begins the act of sanctification in the believer, one that a believer may recommit to living with Jesus as their Lord. If you are scared to say you love Jesus in public, in front of your friends, you are denying Christ. Matthew 10:33 But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. If you say you are a Christian, if you say you have been saved, why would you not say it in public, why would you care what people thought of you, or why would you care what they thought more than what Jesus thought? Baptism does not save, but baptism is clearly an act commanded by Jesus, and why would you want to stand before him one day and try to explain why you didn’t? I was sprinkled as an infant, no conception of it’s meaning; only a statement of my parents faith. I came to understand baptism as an adult, (means submersion), and not long after I believed I was truly saved, my wife and I were both baptized at church.

Would you please keep me in prayer? Would you please keep these Trackside Ministries in prayer? My testimony has come full circle, God has prepared this before time began, and Satan is doing what Satan does best.
