Over the years I have felt a stronger and stronger call to share my faith in Jesus Christ within the scope and framework of my coaching and networking.
I have just recently begun working on developing a camp curriculum that presents the sport of tennis but also shares the Good News of Jesus Christ. I am praying for God to reveal scriptures to me that would be relevant to sports and coaching.
My wife suggested this verse to me yesterday:
I love that verse. It's like a 'theme verse' for a Chrstian coach. Today my prayer is to share Jesus with everyone that the Lord brings across my path. To God be the Glory...!...For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:8
I am going to spend a good deal of time on the Fellowship of Christian Athletes website. I love the 'Competitor's Creed'. That will be 'standard curriculum' in my camp and lessons program for sure...!
Please be in prayer with me that the Lord will help me to develope a unique, God-honoring tennis program.
You Brother in Christ,
Coach Sam
