Owens has experienced this first-hand as he already puts his training to use. He has assisted his father with a church basketball league that requires players to attend a church service once a week to be eligible to play. Through this sports ministry he has been able to see many individuals come to a saving faith in Christ. Owens has also put his training in sports ministry, along with his Bible and Theology classes, to use in a cross-cultural venue. He went to Egypt with the Moody Men's Basketball Team and used basketball as a tool to encourage and share the gospel with Sudanese refugees.
Sports cross many barriers such as race, culture, and economics.
I have seen God use sports in crossing these barriers to spread His Word both here and overseas. All material is copyrighted by Moody Bible Institute and its contributors. Published by Moody Bible Institute.
