Sports Chaplaincy

Sports Chaplaincy — Chaplains in sports work with teams and individual athletes. They help them cope with competitive pressure and with moral and spiritual challenges, support athletes through difficult moments in their careers, and also coach young people while providing spiritual guidance alongside.

Achievement of Goals and Their Results

Wishing everyone health and good spirits!

Today we had the opportunity to serve children at one of the schools in Ihren. There were about 100 children, along with parents and class teachers. God gave the wisdom and the opportunity to share the Word and to pray 🙏. It was a wonderful theme — "The Heart of a Champion" — and it was such a joy to see the children share their own insights and thoughts.

Children are the future of our country, and we have the privilege of being an instrument in His hands.

Together to victory — and THE ONE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL INHERIT ALL THINGS 🙌👍🙏

Sports are a platform for helping and ministering to children and their families.

Children are the future of our country.

Children see — children do.

Trust in God, unity of soul and mind + prayer = VICTORY, and THE ONE WHO OVERCOMES SHALL INHERIT ALL THINGS!!!
