The end of September brought about a tornado of excitement that is still tearing through my calendar!
I was on my way to Hemphill, TX and had a stop-over in Houston. I found out that I would have the opportunity to share about sports ministry with a local church who is sponsoring a soccer team.
Around 2:00 am (CST) I was scouring through online resources from this summer. The more I found the more I realized how incompetent I was. So I sent an email to friends in North Carolina, Washington D.C. and in South Africa, all people that I connected with as a result of my summer training in Italy. The most incredible thing played out…
Within five minutes the friend in South Africa had not only replied with the most helpful information but also forwarded my email to several others doing sports ministry. Within 15 minutes most of those people responded. Within a few hours the friend in D.C. called me. Just a few hours after sending my email, I had a community of people from all over the WORLD who
love Jesus (many whom I’ve never met) filling my inbox with helpful information and encouragement! When I drove to meet with the church supporting the soccer team I was more content with what I did know and what resources I did have, but even BETTER I was more content with what I didn't know, assured that God would fill the gaps! And He did!
I learned about more than just sports ministry through this situation! I got to experience the Global Community step into action on behalf of sports ministry! I now know that I could travel to virtually any part of the world and have brothers and sisters with me!
Our God is bigger than we can ever fathom!
