Mission
EVANGELISM IS WOVEN INTO THE FABRIC OF EVERYTHING WE DO. We present the Gospel:
As part of our “on the field” sports training
In Bible studies and discipleship sessions
In one-on-one mentoring
After soccer matches
I
n formal evangelistic crusades
In counseling and empowerment settings
SHARE THE GOSPEL… make disciples… always. We work closely with local churches, encouraging children and families who come to know Christ through our work to join or be involved in a local body of believers. "Sports is a unique, all-terrain vehicle that knows no bounds. It is international in scope, intercultural in appeal, and there are no cultural or social hang-ups. It moves swiftly through all the differences – race, religion, age and gender. Sports is a great common denominator, opening doors to all levels of society. Teamed with ministry, the potential is incredible, the impact is staggering". James Mhango
Sports is an amazing context for relationship building, sharing the Gospel, and teaching character… both on the field and off the field. Sports Outreach Coaches step on and off the field, providing sports TRAINING, building TRUSTING relationships, and sharing the TRUTH of the Gospel. As relationships develop, we step off the field going DEEPER through mentoring, meeting emotional, practical, and spiritual needs. We focus on DISCIPLESHIP; for the purpose of equipping and DEPLOYING the next generation of Christian leaders. Our Values
We’re good stewards. We are responsible to wisely use the resources God provides. We pray, depend on God and honor Him. In him we can do all things; without him we can do nothing. We pursue excellence. We do what He calls us to do with quality that honors Him. We pursue holistic transformation. God changes people spiritually, physically and emotionally. We tell stories. They show us God’s power and love in action. Local leaders know best. They know the culture, the people and God’s calling for them. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, inerrant, authoritative Word of God; the only infallible rule of faith, doctrine and practice. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; and that He is Holy, infinite and unchanging. STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe in the full deity and full humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory. We believe that every person is born in sin and separated from God; that salvation comes by God’s grace and the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit calling lost man to repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ alone; that salvation is a gift of God apart from man’s works. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling a Christian is enabled to live a life of obedience to God’s Word. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those who are born-again unto the resurrection of life and those who are unregenerate unto eternal damnation. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ with equality across ethnic, gender and class differences. We believe the Great Commission is a command that compels us to take the Gospel of Christ to a lost and dying world. We believe that God created all human beings in His image; that life begins at conception and that the unborn fetus is precious in the sight of God. We believe that God designed and ordained the institution of marriage to be exclusively the union of one man and one woman; and because marriage is sacred, sexual intimacy is only to be expressed in marriage as a gift of God.
