The 12 Hours of Sebring – 60 Year Anniversary

I just got back from one of the darkest, most evil places I ever been as a saved man: The 12 Hours of Sebring!

If you know anything about me, then you’re aware of my love affair with auto racing. I don’t care much for boats, or bikes, or other types of racing as much as I do NASCAR. Every single racing event I attend starts out with a prayer, to God, in reverence and worship of Jesus, the Christ.

Today, I rolled the dice on a new mission field, the American Le Mans Series which I assumed would host a similar crown to the Daytona 300 or 500 races, right? I could not have been more off. I quickly realized Sebring Raceway was not the ideal place to preach, pass out bibles or Christian tracts…

I praise God my daughters and wife were not present at the track, where pure evil reigned over purity. God spoke to me while at the track, and He revealed a plan by which His voice will be heard next year, and His word will continue to resonate loudly thereafter, for His glory.

Tune-in again from time to time to find out more about this divinely appointed endeavor.

P.S. I did manage to snap a few PG photos, enjoy! ;)

Not Quite the Daytona 500 but Still a Superb Day!

by Daniel Saint-Pierre

We just got back from a most splendid road trip to Daytona Beach, the polar opposite of our home beach in St Petersburg, which rests on the peaceful Gulf of Mexico, clear across the sunshine state from our destination.

Today, we were first headed to Daytona International Speedway, where the good old boys (and gals) were having a duel… NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series qualifying type duels that is. We made certain to use the old mini-van as a billboard, for God’s glory! More people lifted up praises to the Lord with their horns than we could count! The girls loves it… :)

After we had our fill of roaring engines, high octane fuel and burning rubber, we drove on passed A1A, straight to the Atlantic ocean where we turned left and cruised for honks for a while. what a complete turn around than 20 years ago when I was spreading profanity rather than praise…

Enjoy the shots! We sure give praise to God for the road trip, and memories to last a lifetime and beyond…

Huge Payout on a Splendid Mission Monday! Praises to Yahweh!

by Daniel Saint-Pierre

Our Lord blessed the girls and I again today far beyond deserving. Out on a yet another phenomenal Mission Monday on Clearwater Beach, it was the drive to the beach that revealed to be this week’s biggest payout…

Don’t let the pictures fool you, today’s payoff cannot be measured in dollars.

First the obvious; Thanks be to the Almighty, I unleashed God’s thunder on the beach today!!! Hitting righty, then lefty, putting up walls at the net forcing opponents to shank spikes all over the place, Rhino and I didn’t win many games but we sure made a bunch of fans who wondered if we were “AVP or just real, real good players.”

See for yourself, it gets better…

While the fifties aren’t real currency, they’re Christian tracts we plant as spiritual seeds all over the beaches and theme parks we are blessed to count as our mission field. You see, among other activities, beach volleyball doubles as a ministry outreach, using scripture empowered $50 or Christian Worship CDs.

With 3 young daughters, our approach needs to be both passive enough to avoid conflict, yet aggressive to reach even the most hardened hearts.

Which area of Ministry are you involved in? Remember, ministry doesn’t have to hurt to bear fruit… and bleeding is not a requirement to go on a short term mission trip.

Get involved! God’s blessings await you in Ministry, and in Short Term Missions…

Awesome Mission Monday on Clearwater Beach!

by Daniel Saint-Pierre

We were blessed with another spectacular Mission Monday outing today, as the St.Pierre’s hit Pier 60 and Clearwater Beach, FL. God delivered fantastic Florida weather, perfect for the girls to play in the Gulf water, and for yours truly to get some hits with the Fearsome Foursome!

You already know I love the beach. Also beach vball ranks at the top of my list of summer sports. Actually in FL, we play year round praise God!!!

So today we planned on passing out tracts, CD’s and 50’s, but I left our goodies box at home so…. We did pray and sangs songs of worship, but no tracts this week… :(

Still we got a few nice snap shots that depict the morning pretty well, enjoy!!!

Mission Monday @ Weedon Island Preserve

by Daniel Saint-Pierre

Another Monday means another short term mission trip with the girls, however today it was only Grace, Trinity, Faith and I out to glorify God and advance His gospel to the four corners of the earth. Today, our corner of the world was the Weedon Island Preserve in St Petersburg, FL.

While Elizabeth partook in decorating for next week’s Vacation Bible School at church, the girls and I had a most wonderful time exploring and discovering the preserve.

This week we planted some tracts and CDs in hope they would be found by seekers, looking for an answer to their prayer. We praise God for His will in our lives and for witnessing opportunities such as this one, I have so thoroughly enjoyed Weedon Island over the years.
