Sports is the world’s most universal language. A sports missionary uses that language to build bridges, open doors, and share the hope of Jesus.
People see sports missionaries as:
- Authentic mentors – living out their faith with integrity on and off the field.
- Relational leaders – investing in kids and parents through encouragement, discipleship, and care.
- Bridge-builders – bringing families into community, local churches, and healthy environments.
- Multipliers – training up local coaches and leaders to carry the mission forward.
E.J. and Matthew have embraced this calling to serve as coaches, mentors, and disciple-makers through sports.
