This workshop shares important new research and practical applications for reaching America's fastest growing generational cohort.

You will learn:
  • Why senior adults are often overlooked in outreach initiatives, and why many evangelism methods do not work for this age group.
  • Why older adults are a legitimate, desirable, and frequently receptive target group for local church outreach.
  • Common characteristics of people who come to Christian faith later in life, and what that means for more effective outreach to this age group.
  • Five ways to dramatically improve your outreach effectiveness to the unchurched older adults in your community.

Using Sports and Recreation for Outreach   

Rodger Oswald

Executive Director

Church Sports International

The church (individually and corporately) is called to be a witness. The key for the church is to determine the most culturally relevant and, therefore, most strategic way to create a platform for that witness. This workshop will give you that key.

After briefly establishing an apologetic for ministry through sports and recreation, this workshop will help people develop ministry goals that are consistent with their church mission statement and discover activities that lend themselves to creating relationships and the opportunity to declare Christ. Those who attend will also be exposed to many of the cutting-edge evangelistic programs and resources that are being used successfully today.

You will learn:
  • A biblical, philosophical, and pragmatic apologetic for sports and recreation ministry.
  • How to accomplish evangelism in the venues of sports and recreation.
  • What resources available to you NOW.
