Christians in Sport, in partnership with other sports ministry organisations globally, is helping to pilot a new training journey specifically for young Christian leaders who are active in the world of competitive and elite sport.
As good as the many ministry training schemes in the UK are, they are often not best suited to the competitive and elite sports player. Mission and discipleship within this world is one of the most unique aspects of sport ministry. Working with athletes who compete at the highest levels, train intensively and often travel regularly, they are often on their own with few believers around them. Some of them are also in the public eye.
For such Christian leaders it has often proved a challenge to help them grow and develop in ministry. Regular ministry training programmes with study time commitments and residential courses are rarely a good fit for athletes. They need training that is not just biblically robust but also adapted specifically for the sporting world.
