Park Basketball Evangelism (Men Only)
Park Basketball Evangelism is for men who want to show the love of Jesus through basketball and building relationships. We will meet at a nearby park to run pickup basketball games and share the Gospel. It is vital to represent Jesus in your character and attitude when you are at the park for this Outreach, or it will compromise our witness for Jesus.
While we are not twisting people's arms to accept Jesus or bringing a speaker to preach, we are boldly sharing our faith one-on-one. We are sharing the Gospel and praying that Jesus sends those who are lost but looking. Let’s be counter-cultural to the world and salt and light. Come out to the park, run pickup basketball, and see lost sons radically encounter Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.
