Recommended: What it means to be a Christian athlete essay

This past summer, I had the opportunity to join Uncharted Waters and travel to Oklahoma City and Medford to teach kids about Jesus while developing their athletic abilities. I planned the curriculum and explained it to the campers and the volunteers. The purpose of Uncharted Waters is to show the volunteers how a camp needs to be run, so I made sure to communicate with the volunteers and get them involved. I also taught dance moves for the worship music to all the members of the camp. This took extensive practice, but by the end of the week every child and volunteer knew all of the words and dance moves to the songs.
Not only did the children and volunteers get exposure to Jesus from the songs and the way the Uncharted Waters team ran sports

    Last semester, I planned my first outreach event at the church. We had bounce houses, face painting, food, games, and candy. I worked so hard to get this put together and even members of the church used their own money to purchase things to make this event happened. There was door to door evangelizing going on in the surrounding neighborhoods to get the word out, and there were only two people in the community that showed up. Two people.

    As a child, when it is time for him to join the children at the front of the church, would not think about twice about pretending to find Jesus in order to relieve the focus quickly narrowing down to only him. As the last child left young Hughes, he whispered, “God damn! I’m tired o’ sitting here. Let’s get up and be saved.” (Hughes, 111), which leaves Hughes kneeling before the entire church.

    Ever since I was a young student, teachers knew that I was not a normal kid. These teachers saw qualities in me that they could not see in many students at that age level. They saw a child who had a profound love to know more and had the ambition of a decorated Olympic swimmer to learn not just the material that was being taught but why it is being taught and how I can I use this information to make people’s lives better. Fast-forward to today, and you can clearly see that not much has changed except my determination to learn and my love to help others has done nothing but expanded.

  • The Complishment Of Cheerleading

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have been a part of multiple pep rallies and am a role model to younger students. One moment, in particular, stands out to me on how much difference I can make in younger children. My new cheer coach had asked if anyone would be interested in volunteering their time to help the middle school squad learning the cheers. Being Varsity Cheer Co-Captain, I was more than happy to oblige. It was a no-brainer to help out because cheer is one of my favorite things. As I laced up my cheer shoes, I glanced up, I noticed the fresh-faced cheerleaders who timidly walked into the gym. They reminded me of me at that age, afraid that they didn't have what it took to be a cheerleader. However, as practices went on, they became more confident in their abilities. Volunteering my time was well worth it, I got to see the cheerleaders grow into more confident cheerleaders and people.

  • The Fellowship of Christian Athletes

    Back in my high school, one day out of the month was dedicated to student-led clubs. On these so-called club days, most kids will go to any club just to get out of class. Some exclusive clubs, such as the Chess club, would look down on this. These groups would happily kick some kids, but there was one club happy to see everyone who came: the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. The little exposure to Christianity found at this club was all that some kids would get and the moderators of my school’s club knew this. Little by little, this is FCA’s nation-wide goal: to change the world into knowing Jesus Christ. This non-profit organization is responsible for everything from small club meetings in middle schools, high schools, and colleges, to massive summer camps. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes’s website lists the group’s mission which is to present the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church to athletes and coaches and all whom they influence (FCA). No matter whether on the court or in a group-led bible study, FCA focuses on this mission.

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ He took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.”

  • The Truth Behind Sea World

    1845 Words  | 4 Pages

    When people think of Sea World, they think of a fun and exciting park where they can see various aquatic animals. They think of the very large manatees swimming behind the glass. People think of the hilarious dolphin and seal shows. More than anything, people associate Sea World with Shamu. The amazing Shamu show which is a must see when attending the park. They think of the happy trainers and how much fun they are having with the Orcas. All of this makes Sea World a multi-billion dollar corporation. When thinking about Sea World, people do not question what goes on when the crowds are not watching. They aren’t curious about how the Orcas are treated. They see the trainers and assume no one ever gets hurt. However, with research it is very easy to find that Sea World is not only an awful corporation but a disgrace to our society. The fact of the matter is that Sea World abuses its killer whales. It is very easy to see if a person knows what to look for concerning the wellness of the whale. Another truth about Sea World is that its trainers are put in danger on a daily basis. No training can prepare a person for live action with an abused twenty-two thousand pound whale. The corporate for Sea World is as corrupt as Illinois politicians. This is not a joke. They purposely injure their whales and put their trainers in danger. When questioned in court, they hire very good attorneys to lie and help them avoid charges by presenting false and misleading evidence. They accomplish all of this while cutting themselves a very big paycheck. Sea World needs to be shut down, and the public needs to become aware of the atrocities that have and are still occurring.

    There are hundreds of thousands of youth ministers all around the globe. Sadly, the trends in youth ministry are slowly starting to decline. A major contributing factor to this issue…is church attendance. Society today has taken a sad turn for the worst, and most people don’t know who Jesus is. I want to be one of the people to make at least the smallest difference in this issue. Since less people are not going to church, it means that less money goes into the offering. Less money in the church means not enough money to pay the people who work at the church. Ex...
