Are there any challenges that we cannot surmount?... Philippians 3:14

"Because sports and recreation are a part of every culture in the world. This cultural phenomenon gives local church a strategic way to build up the believer as well as to reach out to the lost." "Through a Sports Ministry, the church can enhance discipleship and eveangelism and at the same time increase leadership development, retain visitors and members, mobilise members into service, increase vibrant fellowship within the church."

(Rodger Oswald)

"Sports offer the local church its greatest opportunity for world missions with the least amount of money needed to reach the greatest number of people in the shortest period of time."

(Alex Ribeiro, Atletas de Cristo)
