The Aubrey Rose Foundation has teamed up with Christian Chapman "The Faster Pastor" to help him and his ministry reach out to 1000's of children so close to the USA in his unusual approach to ministry.Christian is a preacher in his church in Charlotte N.C. and The Baja Project is an opportunity to do outside the box ministry that most churches can’t do because their focus is inward driven by discipleship and local community outreach. Christian is teaming up with his good friend Chris Mastin to race in the Baja Project.

Jesus' Ministry was Mobile
Christian and Chris support and love the local church and their efforts to reach those that are around the corner but they, also understand that Jesus’ ministry was mobile as well as were most of the disciples and apostles of the early church. Jesus Himself reminded the disciples of their mission with his words in Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and Samaria, and even to the remotest places on earth.

As Christian reminds us, "That word "remotest" in the Greek language means “lowest” and that is exactly the same word that could be used to describe the terrain and its inhabitants the racers of the Baja 1000 experience. On 11/19-11/21 this grueling 1000 mile race through the desert of Baja in Mexico is filled with some of the world’s toughest racing. Only 47% of the racers who start this race will finish and when you do finish the prize is not fortune and fame, but a sense of pride that only other participants of the Baja 1000 would understand. Not only does it get National TV attention but also the attention of two hundred and fifty thousand spectators who live in and around the Baja Desert who come to watch these trophy trucks race through their back yard at 100 plus mph. For those of us using this race to springboard ministry opportunities, that exposure is priceless!!!"

The Baja Project will be teaming up with Y-Wam ministries whose main office is in San Diego, just one hour from the start finish line of the Baja 1000 in Ensenada Mexico. Y-Wam frequently does ministry in this small Baja town by reaching out to children, homeless shelters, local schools as well as churches who will be there long after the youth from Y-Wam are done with their projects. The Baja Project will team up with Y-Wam, providing funds as well as Spanish bibles for the people of Ensenada. Christian and Chris will also be sharing the gospel and meeting the needs of those who are hungry by providing food and money for changes to their tin roof and dirt floor homes. They will also have a chance to witness and speak at local schools in San Filipe as well as a children’s orphanage. All in all it is a GREAT opportunity to share the love of Jesus and to fulfill His command found in Acts 1:8.

To help accomplish this, Christian and Chris need YOU!! With your gift of love they can buy the bibles, food, equipment, and all that is needed to start and finish the Baja 1000 race. This is an outside the box ministry that enables us to get the attention and reach children we would never see.

We at The Aubrey Rose Foundation are asking for your help for Christian Chapman, our Faster Pastor and Chris Mastin on their Project. Please help us help them reach the children of Baja.
