in and through sport 1. We serve “in” and “through” sport We serve “in” the world of sport by: 1. Valuing sport. Since God gave us the abilities to develop sport, we should maximize these abilities with responsibility, elevating each other to higher performance and greater joy for the common good of society and the glory of God! 2. Valuing all sport structures, creating the environment for sport. We pray for them and serve them by getting involved so that the governance of sport will be to the benefit of all. 3. Caring and serving sports people and their families. Our service is based on our love for the person and not the value of his performance. We want to take care of the wholistic development of sport people and would therefor serve them towards maturity in Christ. We serve “through” sport by: Understanding that sport is a powerful global language that enables us to build relationships through playing sport and providing sports opportunities. This creates a great platform to: 1. Proclaim the gospel 2. Develop discipleship 3. Take the church outside the 4 walls through sport to impact society.
