Friends,

We’re re-capping Pray/Play/Say remember, in the 5 weeks leading up to the summer.

Why do I very often complicate things?

How frustrated do you get if you play team sport and those around you all want to do everything other than the basics. When people complicate things when there are easy options to take we get frustrated.

I remember when I first started working with Christians in Sport. People used to ask me ‘so Lancs, what is it you are trying to do within the youth department?’ I stuttered and stumbled around trying to impress them with some big words that I didn’t even know what they meant – I complicated things and that was because I didn’t really have the basics in place, I didn’t know what we were trying to do with the youth department.

Now if anyone asks me – I’m crystal clear.

‘We want to reach the world of sport for Jesus – a Christian in every youth sports team/club in the country

How do you see that happening?

'Through supporting our young Christian sports players to Pray/Play/Say'

It's that simple – Pray/Play/Say is at the heart of the work. It is the oil that runs the engine. It’s not longwinded, it's not complicated and there’s certainly no big words.

The concept is brilliantly simple – the living it is desperately hard!

Don’t complicate things – get back on track and Pray/Play/Say – the youth way, today!!!!!
