We are committed to saturating our region with the Good News of Jesus and we know we share that commitment with many other ministries. We wanted to come alongside and partner with those ministries to support their Kingdom efforts because we believe that God is deeply and powerfully moving through those efforts. With that desire, grants were awarded to a number of partners to support them in this common mission.
Here is what Cross Training Athletes shared about the grant awarded to them:
We at Cross Training Athletes are grateful for the grant! The grant money will be used for at least 3 outreaches starting June 6th.
Right now, we have 38 varsity football teams registered for 7 on 7 football in the month of June. Every Thursday, 600 athletes and coaches will connect, compete, and hear about Jesus Christ. They will receive an opportunity to ask Jesus into their heart to be their Lord and Savior!
We have schools coming from McKinley, Rochester, Salamanca, St Francis, and in between! Also, in June we will run a one-day camp with the hopes to reach 100 athletes with the Gospel! We will also run a follow up leadership day for individuals and teams at Broadway Hope. We will also run a junior high 7 on 7 tournament the third Thursday of July for 9th and 10th graders! Then the 19th of August we are connecting with Depew High School for a one-week kids sports camp for grades 4th through 6th.
The two main focuses for all of this is football and faith in Christ!
