All this week I’ve been in Jamaica working with Percival Palmer of Caribbean Sports Reach and Andre Virtue of Whole Life Sports for a series of Sport Chaplain and Sport Mentor training sessions. We did one-day sessions on Monday in Kingston, Tuesday in Montego Bay, Wednesday in Mandeville and Thursday again in Kingston.
After church on Sunday I watched cricket all afternoon on television. That was more cricket than I had seen in my 52 years previously, combined. Wednesday afternoon we stopped by a football pitch and observed the Reggae Boyz (Jamaican National Football Team) U17 and U20 teams working out. We enjoyed good conversation with several of their coaches and players as well.
We have been thrilled at the participants’ responses to the simple principles for this sort of ministry and their ability to immediately translate them to their particular relationships with teams, coaches and competitors.
We would be pleased to do similar workshops with people in your corner of the world. If you have interest in such, simply email me and we’ll discuss the possibilities.
