Dear Ministry Partner,
On
a crowded bus after a long day of
ministry in the mountains of Peru,
I was involved in an eye opening
and encouraging conversation. Two
young seminary students, one from
Peru and one from Chile, were sharing
their excitement for preaching the
gospel. They were full of smiles
and passion as they responded to
the question of how they maintain
such a high level of motivation.
The one from Chile said, "You
don't understand, how can we not
be excited? Every time we begin
to preach we look up to the heavens
to see if this is the last person
who needs to hear the Gospel before
Jesus' return. If not, then we will
continue preaching until all
the nets are full." There
you have it, a new tag line for
SPORTREACH
and a goal we all should live by.
Based
in Colorado Springs, SPORTREACH
serves alongside local churches
around the world, offering mobile
sports ministry for youth of all
ages. Outreach centered ministry
such as athletic day camps, action
sports venues, and short-term mission's
trips are available for your church
family and community. If you feel
the common language of sports would
be a relevant avenue to reach your
culture of influence, please contact
us and inquire how we may serve
together in the near future to fill
the nets.
Until
all the nets are full,
Kelly
