Sports
and Recreation Ministry
Support
JEMS
(Event Registration Forms below)
In
our Asian-American culture there is a strong
emphasis upon sports and recreation. Great
opportunities are present for us to use these
interests as a vehicle through which people can come
to know Jesus Christ, and believers can grow in
their relationship with Him and others.
In
I Corinthians 9:22, the apostle Paul said, "I have become
all things to all men that I may,
by all means, save some." Paul encouraged us to utilize
what was culturally important and to do what was best for
the sake of the gospel. Therefore, we believe that it
is advantageous
for us to reach Asian-Americans where they're at...on the
sports fields
and courts.
Through our outreach activities, we provide a
positive atmosphere in which spiritual, emotional and social needs can be met. Individuals
will have an enjoyable time, build friendships, and
in a non-threatening setting hear about Jesus
Christ. It is our desire that God would touch and
change people's lives, and as relationships are
developed seekers would be assimilated into local
churches.
