Summer Olympics: 3 Outreach Ideas

Ideas

Use the largest sporting event on the planet as an excuse to get together, laugh and learn more about the challenges God places upon us.

1. Throw a Friday night opening ceremony party for families. Show the ceremony (Friday, August 5 on NBC—check local listings for time) on a big screen (outside weather permitting). Ask people to invite their neighbors. Provide popcorn and soft drinks and water.

2. Preach or start a sermon series on “running with perseverance the race marked out for us” (Hebrews 12:1). The race could be applied to the upcoming school year for kids and students.

3. Host a goofy Olympics night for youth. Set up your own Olympic games with medals for the winners. Serve pizza and have the real Olympics on TV in the background. Encourage teens to invite their friends.

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

Jonathan Sprowl -
None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.
