'Winning Wisely'
Ministry Focus

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
And he who wins souls is wise.
Proverbs 11:30
In sport we love to win, and yet in life, there is no greater 'win' than seeing people choose to follow Jesus. Is that the 'win' you are most focused on? Jesus commands us all to 'Go make disciples' in Matt 28:18-20; remember, disciples are made, they aren't born and so in all of your making this month - seek to make disciples.
It's been a great summer full of soul winning activities at home and away where our teams have been able to 'come out and play;' the news below overviews some of what the Lord did last month through our network.
Thanks so much for your ongoing interest in, prayer for and support of our work for God.
Stand Strong!

- A soccer tournament impacted 204 players and saw 45 of them begin a new life with Jesus.
TANZANIA
- The team delivered a school mission, sharing Jesus with staff and 100 students.

Glory to God!

Summer Camps
Local Ministry
August in the UK means school holidays, which means sports camps! After no summer camps in 2020, it was an absolute joy to engage with precious young people recently.
8 different sports were coached as well as additional activities such as our water games afternoon as we shared the love of God with children whilst developing their character experientially through 'whole life coaching.'
One boy that chose to begin following Jesus, came back the following day full of excitement, telling his group leader that he heard God speak to him after he prayed for the first time that evening!
Another parent told us this:
"My son William is utterly thrilled after the best three days! I have to work most of the holidays so was looking for childcare- what we got from your Get Serious Cricket Camp was so much more- William has grown hugely in confidence and loves cricket now. He has learnt about good sportsmanship and respect and has shared Bible scriptures with me. He is saving up for frames for his certificates and is chuffed to bits with his very generous award.
Thank you so much, you’re making a real difference!"
Thank you Lord
Could you stage a sports camp?
