Jim Mitchell has served as part of the chaplain team at Colorado National Speedway for several years, and he and his team have fine tuned their ministry with some excellent approaches and perspectives.  The road to becoming part of the chaplain team, and serving as lead chaplain for a number of years, was not an easy one, however.  However, lots of twists and turns in Jim's life, including several years of "eventful" living apart from fellowship with God, taught him many lessons about life, people and God -- all which contributed to preparation for his calling to serve God as a race chaplain.  In this episode -- Part 1 of Jim's story and chaplain work -- Jim shares how God rescued him from a purpose-less life and put him on the road to full fellowship with God in Christ and a calling to share God's grace and love in Christ with racers and others at Colorado National Speedway.   Insights into Effective Raceway Ministries work at Speedways across America
