IRONPRAYER is a NON DENOMINATIONAL gathering of athletes, family, and friends for a time of worship, testimonies, and prayer prior to Ironman and other triathlon events around the world. The purpose is to help everyone get their focus from "self" and all that is going on with the event to the source of strength - God and to the needs others as we pray for each other.
In October, 2000 pro triathlete Chad Hawker
was riding his bicycle on Alii Drive in Kona, Hawaii in preparation for
the Ironman Triathlon World Championship when he was struck by a car.
Although the accident put Chad out of contention for the race, he knew
that God had a reason for all of this and set out to find God's purpose.
In Chad's "down time" God impressed him to start the IRON PRAYER SERVICE.
This would be a non-denominational worship, praise, and prayer service for
the athletes. It was to give the athletes an opportunity to get re-focused
on what was really important. The first Iron Prayer Service was a huge
success and God blessed Chad and others to carry the torch to other events
throughout the 2001 and 2002 seasons and now we have more Iron Prayer
Services set for 2003 than ever before. As God has blessed the Iron Prayer
Service to grow we give thanks to God for the opportunity to bring a
blessing to athletes.
This website is designed to give you updated information about upcoming IRON PRAYER services, contact people at various races, and connections to Christian triathletes and connecting activities. Philippians 4:13 For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need.
