God’s Garage

Turning Laps & Telling the Gospel

Chris Brown and his wife Twinkle were youth leaders at their church for 13 and up youngsters when Covid hit us and of course, everything stopped and closed. Chris missed his church work. He had an epiphany…he would buy a race car and work with kids on mechanically building and repairing. One of the participating kids suggested using go-carts.

That’s where the story of giving comes in. Chris met Chris Hauser, well known for his work with youth, in a restaurant to seek advice. Hauser said he was a carpenter, not a mechanic but he could pray with Chris Brown and they did, right then at the table. A stranger at an adjacent table overheard them and handed Chris a $100 bill and wished Chris well on his project. When he got home, Chris found his shop doors open and there sat 3 go-carts from the late James Norman...God’s Garage was born.

The goal is to give youth something constructive to do with their time along with some spiritual Bible guidance.
