Sports media ministry re-launches with new name

It'll now be known as Passion for Sport and will continue to reach out to people across the world sharing the Gospel through sport.

For 20 years this ministry has been producing sports programmes with a Christian perspective for radio and online broadcast. The programmes provide an opportunity for sports people to share their faith, and present a Christian perspective on issues that arise in sport such as cheating, racism and greed.

The organisation is looking to reach out to young and middle aged men - a group under-represented in the UK Church.

Speaking about the re-launch, Rt Revd Mark Rylands, the Bishop of Shrewsbury and a Passion for Sport trustee, said: "God wants everyone to know about his saving love for them seen supremely in his Son, Jesus Christ.

"In the past century, the Church in the UK has not been very effective in sharing this good news with some parts of our society: those aged between 15 and 50, particularly men. Many people are passionate about sport. We want them to discover the God who is passionate about them."

As well as broadcasting material for radio stations across the world at major sporting events, Passion for Sport will provide resources for churches to reach out to their communities through sport.

These include dedicated sport-specific webpages, podcasts, sports quizzes, 10-pin bowling competitions and other events for churches to organise, along with testimonies from sports people.

Passion for Sport has previously partnered with Premier Christian Radio during the Olympics and football World Cup.
