YOUR M2P FEBRUARY RESOURCES
The world of athletics continues to grow and expand. So imagine with us…you, as a church leader, inspire and teach your families how to invite God into sports. They embrace the belief that God can use all things, including sports, to bring God’s love into the world…they become the CHURCH within your community. This vision is why we created resources for parents of athletes. We hope and pray your families find their calling to be God’s light and love to all people!
