Giving thanks for 50 years, and pray for the next 50...
2026 is special for Christians in Sport; on Wednesday, 18th February, we marked fifty years since a small group met with the conviction that God cared deeply about sport, and that He would act in the world of sport if they prayed.
Just as the pioneers of Christians in Sport did 50 years ago, we've written 5 goals to pray towards. Click below to watch our 50th anniversary film and pray with us that God would continue to move in the world of sport.
And please join us to celebrate 50 years of God's faithfulness in sport, hear the vision for the future, and discover how we can enable the next season together at one of our upcoming Partner Evenings.
