Beautiful feet

Hi to all women football players!! 

Welcome to the BEAUTIFUL FEET page

What is it?

BEAUTIFUL FEET is the Women’s Football Network of Christians in Sport. 

Who’s it for?

BEAUTIFUL FEET exists for anyone involved in competitive football, whether that be as a player, coach, referee, administrator etc. 

What is the vision of BF?

BEAUTIFUL FEET is part of the larger organization Christians in Sport.  The vision of Christians in Sport is to see Christians in every single sports club, representing Christ and building the church.

There are now growing participation rates of over 130,000 women and girls regularly playing football in the UK (www.greatersport.co.uk). As Christians, we have a fantastic opportunity to share the Good News about Jesus with the people we play with. How can we do this?  Colossians 4v2-6 gives us some answers:

1         By praying for our team mates (v2-4)

2       By playing in such a way as to honour God, both on and off the pitch (v5)

3       By saying something of the great news of Jesus (v6)

BEAUTIFUL FEET has a twofold vision and aim:

1.  To encourage and support women footballers to Pray-Play-Say in their teams and clubs

2. To provide opportunities for non-Christians to hear and learn more about the good news of Jesus!

The name BEAUTIFUL FEET is drawn from a verse in Isaiah 52v7 that is quoted by Paul in Romans:

‘For, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" (Romans 10v13-15)

Here are a few examples of things we’ve done:

• Issued a newsletter with news and prayer points

• Produced other resources, e.g. tapes and website

• Taken part in the European Christian Sports Union Tournament 2002

• Beautiful Feet Weekend, November 2006:  football, fun, food, friendship, faith!

• Out-reach matches to UK clubs

• Email news and prayer facility

Here are some examples of things we hope to do in the near future:

• Tours and tournaments – Beautiful Feet Women’s Football Tour – Cape Town, South Africa July 2008 (more info contact Beth: beth@christiansinsport.org.uk )

• Evangelistic events and games

• Sports Plus camp - At each of the camps there will be a football facility for male and female young people, but Wales 2 will be the camp that we will hope to have the majority of female footballers gathering for loads of fun, great coaching, and time together with other footballers. If you are interested in attending this camp (or any of the others), places are disappearing fast! If you would like to book a place, visit http://www.christiansinsport.org.uk/camps/camp_11-17.htm  and download a print friendly booking form

• Regular email contact with prayer support and encouragement

• Raising money for Game of 2 Halves
