Thousands of sportspeople hear gospel

Gordan Banks and Pelé, who became lasting friends

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.

Teams played together online via video call, in person in homes, as well as all together in churches or other larger venues. The evening involved four quiz rounds along with an interview with England football coach Michael Johnson, an evangelistic talk and time for teams to reflect on the message they had heard together.
