Just a quick update as to where i am in terms of joining staff with AIA. Things since my last update have been moving quite quickly. I've agreed with work to cut my hours from 5 days a week down to just 3 days a week, freeing me up to spend 2 days a week with AIA. I hope start officially on the 5th of September.
Russell and I have been meeting and are in the process of putting together a AIA Church Partnership Pack which will outline who we are as an organisation, what partnerships we offer and how the partnerships will work. This will take us quite some time to put together, but it is really exciting to actually start and get a glimpse of what the partnerships will look like.
Our mission for church partnerships is to help the local church engage with the local community through sport. Effectively we plan to do ourselves out of a job as the plan is to commit to a 2/3 year plan, training and equipping the church to run effective sports ministry within their local community. After the 2/3 years we will step out and take on an advisory role for the church.
Sorry this is all a bit brief, but as i said we're still in the process of figuring the exact details of how this will work!
I believe that using sport to tell people about Jesus is a really great and exciting way for the local church to to reach out and be part of the local community. I've attached a video that i think explains what I'm trying to say, only it says it way better!!
