Why Sports Evangelism

In a world that is becoming more resistant to traditional efforts of ministry, Sports Reach attempts to go where traditional evangelism has not been effective in reaching the unsaved.

In prisons, schools, churches, local communities and international competitions, personal testimonies, a clear Gospel message is presented in a sports setting and used successfully to share Christ with an unsaved world.

Sports Reach operates under two basic principles:

One is that sports provide a platform or avenue to share the Gospel that might not exist otherwise.

The second comes directly from Romans 12:6 -
“We each have different gifts according to the grace given us… let him use them in proportion to his faith.”

Sports is certainly not the traditional idea one might picture when thinking of sharing the Gospel, but we each have different gifts, and we are called to use them.

The Opportunity…

Sports are a major part of our world’s culture and touch a greater segment of the population each year.  Sports Reach capitalizes on this aspect of our society to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In addition, this ministry attempts to identify those sports-minded individuals in the local church whose gifts and abilities are aimed in this same direction.

We help the local church train those people to use their gifts to bring others to Christ.  We attempt to help these individuals understand the talents God has given them and then show them how to use their gifts effectively through churches and ministries like Sports Reach.
