The overall purpose of Team RFC is to service the
emotional and spiritual needs of the world of motorsports. Realizing that
life, racing, and rodding involve more than just a mechanized existence, we
strive to bring a balance of perspective in providing inspiration and
encouragement to people as a whole.
The means by which we strive to fulfill our calling is to
communicate the power and message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to individuals
participating in the world of motorsports ... using motor racing as the
"platform" from which we express our message of love and inspiration.
The key to our successful involvement with motorsports is
in clearly defining the focus and magnitude of that purpose. Our four-fold
purpose and major reasons for being are as follows.
FELLOWSHIP: We want to serve as an encouragement
for Christian fellowship among those within the world of motorsports. We
intend to become instrumental in bringing believers together and building a
far greater sense of "oneness" and Christian unity.
PASTORAL CARE: We serve in a pastoral role to
Christians who are actively participating in motorsports and racing. Many
racing participants are away from their home church much of the year, and
through the implementation of track-side chapel services and other creative
means, we serve to meet this vital need normally met through a local church.
This includes, but is not limited to, pastoral guidance, performing weddings,
conducting funerals and memorial services, hospital calls, sick calls, jail
visits, and offering the sacraments of baptism and communion.
EVANGELISM: Whenever possible and practical, we
shall serve as a missionary outreach, striving to find effective expressions
of God's love which will be relevant to the cultural climate of the sport of
motor racing. Motorsports is the ideal platform from which we are able to
share the love of Jesus Christ and our genuine concern for others.
SERVICE: We also wish to function as an active
service organization to the world of motorsports, helping to meet practical
needs by expressing the true servanthood of Jesus Christ and the unselfish
attitude of the Christian faith.
Team RFC is a spiritual ministry concerned with
the soul of man, and as such we endeavor to bring help and healing to the
total man. Our message for mankind is that through faith and trust in Christ
one can be forgiven and cleansed from the power of sin through the sacrificial
death of Jesus Christ on the cross. We strongly believe and affirm that … only
a relationship with Jesus Christ and the application of the Word of God truly
and completely changes lives.
The ministry of Team RFC is committed to and
developed around this vital principle. The knowledge that we have been
forgiven and that we no longer need to be controlled by sin, becomes the
motivation to change our values and lifestyle. Christ within gives us the
power to overcome the loneliness and nothingness that once filled our life.
When we invite Him into our life, His fullness replaces the emptiness that one
existed, and life becomes truly rich and full.
