God loves athletes

Church Soccer team in Nepal

We encourage Churches to reach its athletic community with the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in every possible way. Our objective is to win people to Christ, just as Paul said, ‘to the Jews I became a Jew in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became like a man under the law, in order to win those under the law.’ 1 Cor. 9 : 20. God does not want to lose any single soul in sporting world because God knows that greatest industry in the world is sport and half of the population involves in sport somehow.

Sport and Gospel

Through sport we can easily communicate the gospel. Sport is one of the few activities in the world that bring people together no matter where they are on the globe. Color, race, language, religion, age and gender are all forgotten on the sporting field. Many sports organizations and agencies have long known of the benefit of being involved in sport and serving sports people as a way to connect with their cultures as well as to build a bridge of friendship and harmony.

We believe that there is a vast possibility of reaching person through sport. We have seen this as a medium to reach people for Jesus. We encourage the body of Christ to reach its community with the gospel in every possible way. Sport is the universal language and bridges the gap for friendship and unity.

When we think of the Church we only think of the building. Sport is a Church in the Pitch. We don’t bring people to Church, we should be taking the Church to where the people are.

Sports as outreach

In most societies, athletes are role model. What they do or what they say is observe and remembered. There are large number of athletes who love God and care for the poor, orphans, prisoners, aids victims and others. Ever growing Christian athletes share their faith on Radio, televisions, medias and makes local, national and international impacts. Very often when an athlete proclaims their faith it opens opportunities for other believers to share their faith with others.
