Drift 4 Christ
Drift 4 Christ Ministries is a drift racing team located at Port Macquarie NSW. Set up and ran by the local youth from the Seventh Day Adventist youth group, it has proven to be an exciting and unique way of sharing our love for Christ through our love for the motorsport of drifting.Avondale is pleased to be a major sponsor of Drift 4 Christ, supporting people in proactive ministries
Drifting is a high-skill, high-powered motorsport where the drivers control a 300hp+ car while intentionally sliding it sideways at high speed through a marked course. It is similar to rally racing, but is done on a closed course and judged on execution and style (similar to freestyle motocross) rather than who finishes the course fastest.
Drifting is the fastest growing motorsport in Australia and is often classified as an extreme sport rather then tradition motorsport racing, making the sport of drifting attractive and entertaining to the youth of Australia. But along with the other extreme sports there is also the 'partying' subculture that comes along with it.
Drift 4 Christ Ministries aims are to:
- Show the youth of Australia that being a Christian is fun, fulfilling, and exciting and that we don't need drugs and alcohol to have a good time.
- Declare the name of Jesus in a confident and original way, hoping to plant seeds of intrigue that will lead into opportunities to share the meaning, hope and joy that is found in Jesus Christ.
- Take our faith beyond the confines of the church, weaving it into every aspect of our life.
