World Cup and Beyond

OM teams are serving in over 20 countries to reach out to fans of the “World’s Most Popular Game”. Our coaches and teams are using sports-themed Bibles and an evangelistic tool called the Ball of Many Colors. This is a special soccer ball which tells the gospel story using colors:

ball_of_many_colorsBlack: lost in sin
Red: redeemed by His blood
White: filled with God's Spirit
Green: growing in Christ

“Sports is the greatest single relational bridge to our fellow man.  Nothing else gives access to people more quickly or deeply than sports.  If every missionary in the world would buy six different balls and take them to their mission field, they would have all the relationships they could handle!”
- Eddie W., sports ministry pioneer
