Christian motorsports, Don Pentecost needs a (driving) position

I am attempting to acquire funding (and network connections) for a start-up Christian motorsport team.
I also have the solution to alternative-renewable energy for the world.
I am extremely capable in creating and implementing a (tight, responsible) budget, but at the same time this venture is not based in motorsport "business". I do not provide a "business plan" .
(there can be substantial net profits if done correctly, but the bottom line (of profit) is not the motivating factor). The Christian ministry aspect of the team is the motivating factor.

Summary 

I am one of the very few ( as far as I know, only two) motocross racers in California motocross history that were promoted from novice (beginner) class to expert (pro) class in 2 races.
This was done on a non-existent budget, with little ( to no ) practice during the week and a box-stock motorcycle right off the showroom floor. I didn't have the money and I had no network of anyone with money.

Specialties:

I have the natural ability to drive any vehicle at a world-class level. I can create very detailed motorsport (and general business) budgets.
The point of the story about motorcycle racing is that the basic high-speed motorsport requirement (in an actual racing environment has already been met). The bottom line is that motocross is much more difficult than driving a race boat (and you have to be an actual athlete).

The new motorsport budget which will cover expenses for 5 years (2010-2015) is $ 54.8 Million USD...this is for FIA GT Racing (eg. Saleen S7 Road Racing), Nascar trucks, or Drag Racing . It would not be enough for Formula 1 Racing.

If you have been blessed by God financially and you feel that God is leading you to get involved in a dedicated Christian Motorsports Ministry, (in which we actually race), then please contact me; donsministry.info@gmail.com In case you do not already know, motorsports are extremely expensive. The budget figures below are as cost-effective as possible while still being competitive. The three-year budget for a Nascar team would be $57 million USD...or it breaks down to $19 million per year. This includes not only racing in Nascar and the Christian Motorsports Ministry, but also all of the other associated ministries for a 3 year period; Childrens/Orphans Ministry, Prison & Hospital Ministry, Homesless & Food bank Ministry, Local Church Planting, Support for Israel & Messianic Jewish Ministry, Interstate Billboard Ministry, Senior Ministry and Home Visitations, and more... The three year budget for (International) Formula One racing would be eighty-million USD, ( The first year is not spent jumping into the formula one race schedule...There is an incredible amount of time and money involved in the "behind the scenes" start-up and R & D functions, combined with the logistics planning ( transporting equipment and personnel worldwide ), and many other areas. I would also like to get the ministry areas going as soon as possible (during the first year). There is almost a 50/50 split between the cost of the race team, and the actual ministry costs. All funds will be put into two seperate trust funds; one for the Ministries, and one for the motorsports team. Depending on your budget and personal interests, all other motorsports are negotiable; (car) drag racing, drag bikes, sprint cars, closed circuit off-road trucks, indy cars, offshore powerboats, etc.... One big difference that you should know about this Christian Motorsport Ministry is that I will be a driver and not just a chaplain...I am not an "ordained" minister, and I do not have a degree in theology...or any four year college degree. The driver position (and calling) is non-negotiable. I am going on faith that God is leading me in this direction. My racing background is professional class motocross ( motorcycle ) racing. I admit it's been a long time since I have raced, but I also believe that God has blessed me with natural born racing talent, ( unfortunately I have never had the money to back that talent, or the connections...I got very "sidetracked" in life and don't blame anyone. ( even though for 25 years I blamed a lot of people and circumstances ). Anyone who invests in this Christian Motorsports Ministry must agree that the primary focus is Christian Ministry...Christian witness through a different lifestyle than the "world" (society). " Think big....pray big ! God is Big ! As children of almighty God we can expect extreme blessings if we have faith and believe that it will come to pass, before we can actually see it happen. Is there anything too difficult for God ? I personally believe that with God ALL things are possible ! Mark 10:27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Read the article below and then please read my statement concerning Christian Motorsports....It's time that a Christian team jumps to the front of a motorsports project, and not bringing up the rear...if they are able to be racing at all ! "Mystery Company buys BMW Sauber Formula 1 Team" BMW as announced that "Qadbak Investments Ltd" has agreed to purchase the BMW Sauber F1 team. The company will be represented in the team by a Swiss person called Lionel Fischer. This tells us very little except that whoever is buying the team does not want us to know who they are. The fact that the name of the company includes "Ltd" suggests that it is probably registered in one of the Caribbean tax havens, such as the British Virgin Islands, Bahamas or perhaps even the Channel Islands. Swiss trusts can be covered by the laws of any jurisdiction but are simply managed by a Swiss trustee. If there is no Swiss resident benefiting from the trust there is no Swiss tax although each of the 26 Swiss cantons have taxations schemes of their own, the cheapest usually being Zug. The main reason for establishing a corporate foundation is to preserve the assets of private individuals. Many corporate foundations exist only to increase the size of assets being held. BMW says that Qadbak represents "the interests of certain Middle East and European based families" but they clearly do not want people knowing who they are. What we do know is that Qadbak was involved in the purchase of the Notts County soccer club in England. In that case, Qadbak created a British Virgin Islands company called Munto to acquire the soccer team. This appointed Peter Willett as the chairman. He is a key player in Al Thani Investment Group, which is an oil-rich investment company based in Dubai and headed by Abdullah bin Saeed al Thani. The Al-Thani family is also the royal house of Qatar. However, while one can speculate that Qadbak is a Qatari-dominated company, it is worth noting that the name is probably an acronym for the entire region: one can speculate that QADBAK stands for Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Kuwait. There is no doubt, however, that as an independent automobile company, answering to its shareholders, BMW needs to be quite sure that any deal is done with the right kind of people who have the kind of money that is needed. The Middle East has big ambitions in the automotive world as has been seen in the recent Daimler/Aabar and Porsche/Qatar deals. Isn't it time that a Christian-based Motorsport Investment Group lead the way in motorsports racing worldwide...Christian ministries are on television 24/7, and "Marketing" exposure in motorsports is much more cost-effective than television is...and without the censorship of Christians by network television executives...I am praying and asking God to provide $80 million USD which covers the first three years of the motorsports team and a nationwide/worldwide Christian ministry. Formula One racing is International. "If we are going to do this for the Lord, then it needs to be done right" Doing it right is not spending a lot of money to "bring up the rear" of the pack when racing, or not qualify time after time. We must be in it to win or not be involved at all. 2 Corinthians 6:14 " Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers" (and this includes marriage, business, ministry, and motorsport partnerships). Areas of Christian Ministry through the Formula One Race Circuit : United States - Australia - Spain - United Kingdom - France - China - Bahrain Monaco - Turkey - Germany - Hungary - Belgium - Italy - Singapore - Japan Brazil - Abu Dhabi
