Overview
The need today is even greater to reach athletes and coaches different in ways. A study shows that 41 million youth ages 6-18 participated in organized youth sports, and just over 7 million participated in high school sports.
Our goal is to establish 12 Sport-Specific Ministries (SSM) in the next four years so that we can better reach every athlete and coach for Christ.

Three things people of SSM have in common: 1. Passion for Jesus Christ. 2. Passion for their sport. 3. Passion to share Jesus Christ with the people of their sport. |
