0:00.0 | What's up, Sports Spectrum family. |
0:01.9 | Today's episode is brought to you by Athletes in Action. |
0:04.5 | And Jason, I can't imagine not having God's word personally to be able to read Scripture. |
0:10.6 | Tell us a little bit about what athletes in action is doing. |
0:13.3 | Yeah, I mean, what you just said is hits the nail on a head, Matt. |
0:17.1 | I mean, imagine you're not having access to God's word, especially athletes, right? And there are so |
0:21.8 | many athletes around the world today that are facing something that we just can't ignore. Athletes |
0:27.0 | and action is doing a great job, our partners. And they have sports missionaries on college campuses |
0:33.9 | and professional locker rooms in over 80 countries. And they're seeing people come to know |
0:39.3 | Jesus. And just one critical thing that they've been talking about that's missing with these |
0:44.2 | athletes is access, a Bible, in their own language. So here's what athletes in action is doing. |
0:49.8 | In fact, a missionary said, we're desperate for Bibles to hand out to student athletes. That's a quote. So here's what they're doing. And I'd love for people to get involved. Matt, you can tell them a little bit more once I finish here. $22 a month is all it is. And you can put a Bible in the hand of these three athletes. Every single month, $22, three Bibles for three student athletes. When you sign up, it's a monthly gift, as we mentioned, $22. By the way, you like that number, 22. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah. I didn't, I didn't stronghold them and tell them that they had to do that. They just, it just did. It's guys timing. It's a pretty good number, though, 22. But here's what you can get. |
1:27.8 | If you sign up for a monthly gift, you'll also receive a free copy of the increase, |
1:31.9 | which is Sports Spectrums and PAO's 52-week devotional, which you're featured in, Matt Forte. |
1:38.3 | And you'll get that for free if you sign up to get three Bibles in the hands of student |
1:43.4 | athletes each month for just $22. |
1:45.9 | Simply text Sports to 71326 to help provide Bibles to athletes today. |
1:51.5 | Just imagine how much that gift could change in athletes' life. |
