Evangelism Through Sports

Written by East-West Staff | Sep 29, 2016 1:02:24 PM

An East-West national partner met Simon in the local marketplace and soon learned he was a taekwondo coach with an interest in the things of God.

The national was invited into Simon’s home to share spiritual truths.

Simon had too many questions to ask in one sitting, so they began meeting regularly to discuss Jesus and the Bible. Soon a friendship flourished and Simon chose to follow Jesus Christ.

His story didn’t end there.

Simon continued to grow in his faith and desired to be a spiritual leader in his unreached community. Today, he uses his trade—coaching—to build relationships with his athletes and their families in hopes that God would use him to lead them to Christ.

Once a month, he meets with athletes and parents to share Bible stories that have changed his life forever. Join us in praying that his evangelism efforts through sports are used by God to bear great spiritual fruit.
