A leader who understands the MVPS and can drive each sport team
Step 4: Establish a Leadership Team
A team who of Team Captains who catch the common vision to support one another
Step 5: Assess the Opportunities
Know your community (the target grp), resources (equipments, venue, etc)
Step 6: Train Your Team
Train the team well both in Spiritual and the physical aspect. The Christian athletes should catch the vision
Step 7: Integrate the Three Essentials
Pray Continually, Act Wisely, Speak Graciously (Play, Pray, Say)
Step 8: Guard This Treasure
Statistics has shown that sports ministry is a great tool for evangelism. Guard the fruits of it. Youth More Than Goal (YMTG) in the recent SYOG movement, 320 people accepted Christ.
Sports Ministry is a process...which will lead to the OUTREACH OF PRE-BELIEVERS through the RELATIONAL interaction of the Church players and Friends!
(Refer to the ENGEL Scale... bringing a believer or pre-believer to a step closer to God each day)
