Impacting the World & Spreading The Gospel Through Sports Takes Meditation, Prayer & Courage
Being called by God to be a stewart of a Christ-centered youth sports organization requires lots of mediation, prayer & courage; and the ability to surround myself with Godly people who love the lord and who feel called and led into the youth sports ministry field to serve and not to simply make money!
In the wide world of sports today, most players, fans and many coaches are driven by the word Hype. And for me, that word has no value. That's why when we are in need of growing our staff, we often pray for the right person (s) to join our mission. It's not our will, but God's will that we want done. And to do this and make the right decisions, takes lots of meditation, prayer & courage.
Persons with incredible gifts who are not on fire for the lord, we often have to pass on for the moment as it relates to being in a position of leadership on the mission field. Meanwhile hoping that God will open their eyes and give them a passion to serve him and not their gifts.
I personally believe that serving youth, families, coaches & communities through sports is the most rewarding & exciting way to honor God and impact the world for Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:58
Therefore my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
