For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? - - Mark 8:36 |

Todd's
Testimony
I was saved at the age of seven. I also received my first motorcycle
at about this same time. Regrettably, I slowly began to drift away
from God and the church. Racing became my life. I raced for the
first time at the age of thirteen, and by the time I was sixteen
I was a professional rider. A motorcycle shop began sponsoring me
and gave me a free motorcycle, free helmets, and other riding gear.
I began winning races and making good money. My parents were very
supportive of me and my possibly lucrative career. I quit school
at the tenth grad to race professionally full-time. I was racing
against the best riders and finishing among the top ten in the nation.
Although, I was living my dream and enjoying the success in my new
found career, I was still empty inside and knew something was missing.
That is when I met my wife to be, Carrie.
Because of Carrie, I started attending church again. She invited
me to attend a youth camp that summer. There was red-hot preaching
and spirit filled singing. The Lord got a hold of me that summer,
and my life has never been the same. I rededicated my life to the
Lord in July of 1993. I got rid of my motorcycles and got away from
competitive racing because it kept me out of church.
All of my so-called friends thought I was crazy, but I knew in my
heart what the Lord wanted from and for me. Carrie became my wife
in 1998 and since then God has blessed us in marvelous ways.
I travel all over the country now jumping for Jesus and doing my
part in reaching boys and girls for the Lord Jesus Christ.
