Dear Friends, Hope you are keeping well and looking forward to Thanksgiving (and then Christmas)! I just wanted to send a personal note to thank you for blessing Sports Quest with your prayers, encouragement, love and financial support in the past. Ministering to children through soccer for the past 20 years has been made possible by the generosity of people like yourself, and for that, we are truly grateful. As we look forward to 2017 and beyond, we strongly believe that the Lord has even greater ministry opportunities in store, and we are excited to usher in the NEW ERA…! WHAT DOES THE “NEW ERA” LOOK LIKE? The NEW ERA is a statement of intent to keep pressing on and not dwell on the successes of the past. The NEW ERA is NOT a new direction since the message, the method and the motivation remain the same… The message – Salvation is found in Christ alone by faith alone: “for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12) The method – Soccer is the platform to share the Christian faith The motivation – Always for God’s glory; never for self-interest HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED? Your financial gift (monthly/one time) will be used in a range of ministry initiatives, including: Camp scholarships Year round ministry to under-served children/families Sports Quest Soccotionals™ (soccer devotionals) to serve as ministry resources Sports Quest Institute (equipping sports leaders to share the gospel) Sports Quest general operating expenses 2017 summer staff Purchase of portable soccer fields for outreach purposes TESTIMONIALS: THE WORD OF GOD IS GOING OUT AND LIVES ARE BEING CHANGED! “We are thankful our son secured eternal life after hearing the truth of the Gospel at soccer camp!” Tricia – Camps 2016 “Thank you for teaching my daughter how to love God and love others.” Sherry – Camps 2016 HOW TO DONATE Go to www.sportsquesttraining.com to make a secure online donation Send a check to Sports Quest, P.O.
