5 Simple Ways Your Church Can Share Christ During the World Cup This Year
The World Cup is more than a sporting event; it is a mission field. With more than 6.5 million people expected to travel to North America for the games, churches have a unique opportunity to pray, serve, engage their communities and proclaim the gospel to people from around the world. Here are 5 simple things your church can do to leverage the world’s game to share the world’s greatest message:
1. Host Watch Parties
Invite your community to gather and watch World Cup matches together. Create a welcoming environment where relationships can be built, conversations can begin and the hope of the gospel can be shared naturally.
2. Attend Fan Fests and Share the Gospel
Thousands of people from diverse backgrounds will gather at fan festivals and public viewing events. Mobilize church members to engage attendees, offer prayer, distribute gospel resources and have meaningful spiritual conversations.
3. Organize a Soccer Clinic or Camp
Use soccer's universal appeal to connect with children, students and families. A soccer clinic or camp provides a fun and practical opportunity to teach life lessons, build relationships, and present the message of Christ.
4. Use the Yellow Card Initiative
Just as a yellow card in soccer calls attention to a player’s conduct, the Yellow Card Initiative can be used as a creative conversation starter about sin, grace, forgiveness and the need for a Savior. Equip church members to use this simple tool to begin gospel conversations.
5. Share the Evangelism Soccer Ball
The Evangelism Soccer Ball is designed with gospel prompts and conversation points that help believers naturally transition from sports discussions to spiritual discussions. Use it at parks, community events, outreach gatherings and soccer activities to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
