The Game Plan
Partnering
”Under His control all the different parts of the body fit together… so when
each separate part works as it should, the whole body grows and builds itself
up.” Eph 4:16 (TEV)
Great Commission Christian sports resources join with Great Commission Christian
field personnel & strategies. Sports volunteers and resources must be personally
involved in the strategy developed by those on the field, living and breathing
in the Restricted Access culture.
Accessing
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” Matt 28:19a (NAS)
Give Them What They Want, Do It Well, They’ll Ask You To Stay.
Gain A Presence, Make Connections, Explore.
Be Legitimate, Strategic, And Play By The Rules.
The objective is to stay LONG-TERM! Leading to an “Earned Right to Share” relationship.
Evangelizing
“…every nation, tribe, people and language…” Rev 7:9 (NIV)
One Message, Multiple Methodologies!
“Be wise as serpents and as harmless as doves.” Matt 10:16b (NIV)
Restrictions and Field Strategy Determine The Methodology:
Methodology 1:
Initial Engagement; “Earn The Right To Share”
“in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in
doctrine, dignified, sound in speech which is beyond reproach, in order that
the opponent may be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.” Titus
2: 7,8 (NAS)
Methodology 2:
Develop Relationships; “Ask A Question, Answer A Question”
“but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense
… to everyone for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.”
1 Peter 3:15 (NAS)
Methodology 3:
Share The Light That Is Within You; “Be Yourself”
“for we cannot stop speaking what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:20 (NAS)
