Christians in Motorsport - Team UCB!

Hector Lester and his Ferrari! spacer

We are very pleased to be associated with Christians in Motorsport (CIM) but we can take no credit for this; our association with them has been very much the result of their own initiative. It was CIM who first thought of placing UCB logos, etc. on Hector Lester's Ferrari and the response we have seen, the interest in UCB has been fantastic! The fact that Hector is actually a very good driver at the head of a very good team has seen 'Team UCB' fare very well in all competitions.

On the move!! spacer

CIM recently started inviting people to spend the day with them at their racing events; while they are there, they will hear the Gospel! Hector Lester is an ardent supporter of UCB's ministry, he reads The Word for Today and he makes copies of same available to those he invites. In effect, CIM have developed a whole new outreach, utilising The Word for Today, primarily to men and those interested in the hedonistic world of motorsport.

The Ferrari spacerAt UCB, we are thrilled to be associated with CIM, to hear of the success of the 'United Christian Broadcasters Team'. UCB staff and volunteers are following the progress of Hector Lester in the 'UCB Ferrari' with much interest. Of course, there are lots of people here who would like to take the car for a spin! Unfortunately, a minority of people outside of UCB have misunderstood our association with CIM; that some of these would publicly suggest that UCB is using the money provided by its financial supporters to sponsor Ferrari is most regrettable.

We are looking to strengthen our ties with CIM in a number of areas so, hopefully, anyone who shows interest in the future will see the value that this unique relationship represents in extending the Kingdom of God.

Christians In Motorsport

They aim to strengthen each other's faith by providing fellowship and teaching, and to promote the gospel within our respective areas.
