Thousands of sportspeople hear gospel
Brian Glynn
More than 100 teams with thousands of players from around the world have enjoyed a major Christian sporting event.
Christians in Sport hosted its big online World Cup Quiz during the men’s soccer tournament in Qatar. The initiative seized the opportunity to bring sportspeople from around the world together to play and hear a short evangelistic talk.
Sports support
Brian Glynn
This
autumn, Christians
in Sport
are
releasing an updated YPA Parents and
Guardians guide aiming
to supplement
their existing support.
Entitled
‘Parenting the next generation:
helping young elite sports-people to connect
sport and
faith’,
the guide addresses
ten
questions on
some of
the most pressing
issues
in this area
including:
‘How do I
respond in a godly way to my child’s success
and failure?’ or ‘What can I do when my
child’s sport clashes with church?’ The guide
points to Biblical principles, applying them
to the context of elite sport, to help parents
work through these challenges.
New global sport plan
Brian Glynn
Christians in Sport has come together with over 50 leaders in global competitive and elite sports ministry, from over 20 countries, in North Africa. This event served as the launch of an exciting new leadership development programme.
The programme aims to develop leaders as they come together for a structured, year-long course involving coaching, mentoring, and applied critical thinking.
