More than 250 young adults are aiming to connect their sport to their faith more and more as the result of Christians in Sport’s annual ‘New Year Training’ conference.
Delegates across three venues were encouraged in evangelism to their sports clubs and teams. Main meetings at each conference focussed on the ‘I Am’ sayings in John’s Gospel, alongside workshops on worship and witness, thinking through how faith in Christ transforms identity and brings freedom and security to sportspeople within a performance-dominated culture.
Additional seminars provided opportunity to dig deeper into specific topics relevant to living for Jesus and sharing the gospel in the world of sport both on and off the pitch.
