Along with millions of others, we believe that sport is something to celebrate and enjoy. God has created each one of us with gifts and abilities to glorify and worship Him in all areas of our lives, including sport (Romans 12:1-2). Sport can also be a challenging environment as a Christian. How can we encourage sportspeople to see the opportunity they have to worship God in sport and to point others to Christ through the way they play? In this seminar, we will focus on equipping sportspeople in our churches to make Jesus known and give practical examples of how churches have supported youth/adult sportspeople seeking to share the gospel and life with teammates.
