What does sports have to do with winning people for Jesus?
Sports are one of the few activities that brings people together no matter where you are on the globe. Color, race, language, religion, age and gender are all forgotten on the field, in the pool or on the court. The popularity of sports establishes it as a ministry tool that can be used to engage a wide range of people regardless of age, gender, socio-economic status, or other social differences. Sports Ministry is about relevance and relationships.
Sports evangelism brings Christians and non-Christians together in a non-threatening environment. Conversations about sports and games can lead to conversations about life and Christ. Circumstances and events in sports can lead to teachable moments. God uses the talents and interests of Christians to create opportunities for His work. |
