Christians in Sport

We are on the verge of embarking into the most exciting era of British sports ever! 2012 Olympic Games....2014 Commonwealth Games.....2015 Rugby World Cup. There's no doubt that today sport is more significant than ever in our culture, with millions of young people and adults playing and coaching every week. At the same time church attendance is falling, particularly amongst young people and men. Sport, therefore, is a mission field that cannot be ignored or underestimated. As the Olympic Games comes to the UK in 2012 with the desire to inspire a new generation to greater sporting ability and achievement, shouldn't Christians be at the centre of such a huge initiative in our culture?
