Every once in a while we like to share some emails, letters and comments otherwise from folks around the country. Some are good, some are bad. At any rate, we try to be open and transparent about how people see the ministry of Team Faith. Here is some stuff we received over the past few months:
The rig is on the road and near Los Angeles for X- Games 16! Chuck Lemaster is acting mechanic for Team Faith rider Kevin Johnson who is defending his 2008 Gold Medal in Speed and Style. Jason Cavnar is helping drive the massive Team Faith rig. Chuck is also wrenching for our newest Team Faith member, 2009 Bronze medalist Jason Woods in the Adaptive MX class.
I realize that I am a month behind....ok maybe a couple! But, I finally got around to writing an update about my five week adventure with Jeff Gibson doing the last five rounds of Supercross.
The Team Faith FMX Team of Terry Russell and Tim Wilson went big in Mandan, ND a couple weeks ago and we were joined by special guest rider and longtime Team Faith friend Cowboy Kenny Bartram! the event was at KTM Cycle Hutt, a prominent dealer and massive online retailer in Mandan. The boys went big and the 5,000 plus strong crowd seemed to enjoy every minute!Every once in a while we like to share some emails, letters and comments otherwise from folks around the country. Some are good, some are bad. At any rate, we try to be open and transparent about how people see the ministry of Team Faith. Here is some stuff we recieved over the past few months:
By now, most of the world has heard that it rained a bunch in Nashville last weekend. Unfortunately the Team Faith offices fell victim to the flood as well sustaining up to 7" of water throughout the entire 1500 square feet of our operation. We are ok, but we ask for your patience as we dry out and get things back in order.
Team Faith rider Kevin Johnson is now offering MX Training sessions to those who would like to come to Houston, TX for training. "There is more to life than just racing, I want to train kids to be champions in life!" say an excited KJ. Kevin will be holding training classes @ Cornerstone Motocross Park. They will be intense training clinics aimed at correcting bad habits, learning correct techniques, and attacking each section of the track in order to focus on specific skills and gain valuable seconds on the competition. 
Up and comer Randy Childers was seriously injured recently and really could use our prayers! Here’s the story. On Saturday, April 24 Randy Childers was in an extreme crash at Cowboy Badlands in Beaumont, Texas while racing a Ponca qualifier. He fractured his C3 and C5 vertebrae as well as shattered his C4 and had a compound fracture to his left wrist.
Team Faith would like to thank MXTrader.net for their faithful support of our Supercross effort with 2009 National Arenacross Champion Jeff Gibson. MXTrader.net stepped up to sponsor Team Faith after the Arenacross season was over so that we could race the last 5 rounds of Supercross and hopefully be a positve Christ-like influence on some of the top motocrossers in the world.
Team Faith and Trinity Racing have a great day at Rd. 1 of the GNCC UTV Championships! As usual, time flies when your having fun! This season of GNCC Racing has come upon us by storm and we simply were not ready for it!
We are trying to raise $15,687.49 for the repair of the Team Faith rig. It needs a complete engine overhaul as it died on our way to Des Moines, IA Arenacross last weekend. The rig is now in Kansas City at a repair shop and we are looking at a pretty hefty bill. Can you help? 
For the first time in Team Faith history (since 1994), Team Faith enjoys the fruits of its labor in racing with a Championship! We won the GNCC UTV Lites Limited Championship. Driver Chuck Lemaster and co-pilot Brian O navigated their way to Victory Lane in the Championship just edging out 2nd place competitors Justin Kerr and Borovichka from Waynesburg, PA. Despite driving on a flat tire that happened on lap 2 of the race, the boys managed to pull of a 3rd place for round 4 of the series - just enough to clinch the GNCC UTV Lites Limited title.
In response to Jeremy Lusk's passing recently and the testimonies given at his funeral by Brian Deegan and Ronnie Faisst, the two got together with Pastor Josh White to lay out the Gospel on YouTube for the world to see. We're pretty stoked on the growth and power of God that\'s been happening in both these guys lives lately! PRAISE GOD! Click "view full story" to watch the YouTube videos.
Pro FMXer Jeremy Lusk was seriously injured while competing in the X-Nights Freestyle event in Costa Rica this past weekend. The crash was horrific and has been seen by many FMX enthusiasts around the world via YouTube. Going into emergency surgery the doctors gave Jeremy only a 5% chance to live. But miraculously, and as a result of many prayers, he is hanging tough as of right now.
Please pray for Leighton Lillie. Leighton is a rider for the Team Babbitt's Kawasaki team on the National Arenacross Series. This past weekend he crashed in practice and suffered a fractured T6 and T7 in his back. As of yesterday afternoon he still couldn't feel his legs.
Team Faith friend Jeremy Street was seriously injured last Saturday at a local Arenacross in TN. 
We know that there is much power in prayer. We appreciate each and every one of you for your prayers and support in God's endeavors. 
Chuck Lemaster (Team Faith UTV Racer/Arenacross Pit Pastor) is selling his 2008 WR450F – just in time for Christmas! 
We came out of the last race in St. Clairsville with a second place and 3rd in points. We had just enough time to clean equipment, do a little maintenance, ride a bit of practice at Brimstone (local riding area in TN) and prepare for the 6 hour journey to Indiana. 
As some of you may know, Team Faith has been involved with Personal Watercraft Racing since our inception in 1994. The biggest event of the year is the IJSBA World Finals in Lake Havasu City, AZ where 850 riders representing 32 countries compete for World Titles. 
GNCC hosted their 3rd round of the UTV series. As you may recall, we started the season with a win - only to encounter challenges (i.e. driver error) in the second round! (There is an excellent video of this misadventure in our video library at www.teamfaith.com) Brian, Trevor (my 2 year old son) and I loaded into the Team Faith rig and headed to Powerline Park in Eastern Ohio.

Team Faith rolled into Reno, NV. anticipating a large track that would provide good racing and a huge landing ramp for the freestyle team. Thursday night was spent going through the race bike motor and watching Willy, Terry and Rob Lewis do bike work on their bikes. With altitude of 4400 feet jetting and tire selection would be the topic of discussion for round three. 
Have you noticed how professional we look?! Team Faith is blessed to have FLY Racing as our title sponsor for the past 4 years!
Rockford would be the last round prior to the holiday break, and the last time we would have Rob Lewis with us for freestyle. Friday morning freestyle practice started out great with no problems and lots of big clean tricks.
Brian O' and the whole Team Faith crew want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
As we get ready to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus of Nazareth, let us not forget the amazing love that God demonstrated to us by sending His only begotten Son Jesus to take our place and suffer on the cross for our sins.
May this time be a time of joy ad peace for you and yours this Christmas season!
Remeber - Jesus is the reason for the season!
God Bless - Team Faith
