Have you had any experience ministering to athletes’ families? If so, what were some ways you ministered to family members and how did that contribute to your relationship with the athlete? If not, which of the ideas presented in this lesson seem like something you could integrate into your ministry in the future? How might you implement that?
-
I have not had the opportunity to minister to a sports team, but I have engaged several student athletes as a professor. Being truly present in what matters to the person we are serving is everything God wants.
-
One of the ideas that I would surely implement is making discipleship touches, which I believe shows not only the athlete but his family a well, that you’re heart is there to serve them and not what they possess. But to truly seek the establishing of God’s people back to the kingdom.
-
Showing up for the, having a listening ear, showing that you care for them and their families.
-
All of the ideas are excellent and yes I have thru birthdays, mariages and get togethers.
-
Yes, I took the time to meet family members that were attending the All-star game. If I know they are present at the regular season games I will introduce myself as one of the team’s chaplain.
I like the ideas presented, they definitely stretched me because these are ways to be creative and not allow myself to box me in. I have offered to bless one of the player’s new home.
