New Way Forward in Sports Ministry Training

OM International

English/Espanol


On the weekend of May 30, SportsLink International hosted sessions in sports ministry at the OM centre in Chisinau, Moldova. Although SportsLink has provided training to various OM fields in the past, this weekend it sought to break new ground. As SportsLink is continuing to explore and work toward a partnership with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, the hope is to enable fields, and those they work with, develop a common standard for sports ministry training across OM.

FCA’s Vice President of Training and Leadership Development, Dave Kubal, came from FCA Headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri to lead some of the sessions. This was the first time this new level of training has taken place.

“We are excited about the way forward,” enthused Martin Bateman with SportsLink International. “OM Moldova has a well-developed ministry through sport, and we want to build upon that to create a good model of training that can be reproduced around the world.”

Please continue praying for the development of SportsLink and the possible partnership with FCA.


NUEVA FORMA DE AVANZAR EN EL ENTRENAMIENTO EN EL MINISTERIO DEL DEPORTE

Durante el fin de semana del 30 de mayo, SportsLink Internacional tuvo reuniones sobre el ministerio del deporte. El evento se llevó a cabo en el centro de OM en Chisinau, Moldavia. Aunque SportsLink ha provisto de entrenamiento en varios campos de OM en el pasado, se esperaba que este fin de semana abriera nuevos caminos. Mientras SportsLink está explorando y trabajando para formar una asociación con la Federación de Atletas Cristianos (FAC), se espera ayudar a los campos, y a aquellos con los que se trabaja, a desarrollar un entrenamiento estándar para ministerios del deporte en toda OM.

Dave Kubal, Vicepresidente de Entrenamiento y Desarrollo de Liderazgo de FAC, llegó desde su cuartel general en Kansas City, Missouri para compartir en algunas de las sesiones durante el evento. Esta fue la primera vez que este nuevo nivel de entrenamiento se realizó.

“Estamos animados por el camino que tenemos por delante”, dijo entusiasmado Martin Bateman de SportsLink Internacional. “OM Moldavia tiene un ministerio del deporte bien desarrollado, y queremos edificar con ese fundamento para crear un buen modelo de entrenamiento que pueda ser reproducido alrededor del mundo."

Por favor continúa orando por el desarrollo de SportsLink y la posible asociación con FAC.
