About Team RFJ

Team RFJ was formed in 2008 with the desire to minister to the youth who participate in Off-Road Desert racing. The Lord has called Team RFJ to glorify the name of Jesus and spread the good news of His saving grace. Our Mission is to lead by example, expressing that our Faith in God and the power of The Holy Spirit influences us to witness to others interested in the sport of racing, and other "Extreme Sports", so they may know Christ, grow in their walk with Christ, and pursue a personal relationship with Him.

We want to serve as an encouragement to the youth and offer a supportive, fun environment for fellowship. We have found that participating in extreme sports such as desert racing is an ideal platform for sharing the love of Jesus Christ and our genuine love and concern for others. Our goal is to lead extreme sports athletes to Christ and disciple them so that they will in-turn, lead others involved in or interested in the sport to Christ.
