Have you coached your kid in sports before? It can lead to some really precious moments as you lead your child through learning something new. It can also be an open door to some great conversations about faith.

Part of partnering with a local church is that we train volunteers from the church to have these conversations with kids during the week of camp. So, when the pandemic hit and sports camps were no longer an option, it gave us a unique opportunity to help parents have these conversations with their kids from in their own homes.

Louie Schmitz led our team to put all of our normal aspects of sports camp in an online format that parents could learn from and then coach their kids through. This included sports drills, object lessons, discussion questions, sports stories, and Bible stories all wrapped around a weekly theme.

From the time we made the decision to the time we shifted and had a complete resource was only three weeks and we were able to quickly offer this alternative to all of our church partners. We had a number of churches send it out to the parents and had some great reports of special conversations happening with their kids.

Praise God for His leading of not stopping but re-orienting ministry opportunities for His Word to still go forth!
