During the days of 13-14 May, I was in Kiev,
Ukraine for their annual F.C.A. Sports Chaplains School. The gathered men and
women were bright, hungry to learn, and responsive. This made for a great couple
of days in which I delivered six presentations. I had asked them to outline the
issues or topics they wanted me to address, and that was key to our
effectiveness. The outline of one of the presentations is below. (By sending it
ahead of time, they were able to translate it into Russian to better serve the
attendees.)
Note: Our colleagues serving in
many places outside the USA may prefer this statement of mission.
God’s Mission for the Sports Chaplain:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts
us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who
are in any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are
comforted by God.” II
Corinthians 1:3-4
I
hope your imagination is catalyzed toward building a strong, Biblical
foundation for your service as a character coach or sports chaplain.
