Christians in Sport, which exists to reach the world of sport for Christ, has now produced a downloadable pack full of content to help churches, sports clubs and individuals make the most of a rich summer of opportunity.
The pack, released in April 100 days before the Olympic opening ceremony, is available for a small donation and includes: Two quizzes focused on football and the summer events; a creative video talk with evangelist Graham Daniels using the story of Eric Liddell (Chariots of Fire), 100 years since his famous race; and a short animated spoken word sharing the gospel through the Eric Liddell story. Further content includes: two testimony films from a former Olympian and Paralympian; an Olympic church service guide; a school assembly and lesson guide.
The organisation is also encouraging churches to support Searchlight Theatre and their play Eric Liddell: Chariot of Fire, as it is performed on tour in churches around the UK.
