WSM Bristol Newsletter‏ July 2014

What a great month for sport! Where did you get to watch the World Cup final? We are glued to the Tour de France now that Wimbledon has also finished. It also means that Summer holidays are here. We are really looking forward to camp and having a great week of sporty fun. Thank you so much for standing with us in prayer. We have been massively blessed and can't wait to share with you what has been happening. We wait in great anticipation for Summer. 
On our Radar: 24 July - Young Leaders Tea Party, 5 - 8 August - GET Sported Camp 

Cricket Tournament
On Sunday 29th we had a great day at our annual Cricket Tournament at Frys in Keynsham. We are thankful to Roger for sharing his testimony with our teams. The Bath team came back to defend their title and after a tournament they retain the title. The tournament was played in good spirit and they cannot wait for next year.    

Get Sported Summer Camp
It is that time of year again we are praying, planning and believing for 80 children to join us for the first week of August. It has been really exciting to have booked in 40 children for with a couple of weeks to go. A Spring Harvest grant has enabled us to offer 5 places to Knowle Park School and also Victoria Park. God has been opening doors for us in the community and we really excited to report that a local charity has pre-booked 20 children over Summer and October camps. Thank you Nazerene Church for supporting us financially and providing opportunity for 9 children to come to camp. Local volunteers have been in touch from our local churches and from our friends and family. We still have places for more. If you are passionate about Jesus and want to spent some time with us and some amazing children please email Rachael rachaele a_t worldsportministries d_o_t com for more information. We are looking for adults to give children undivided attention, chat with, shepherd and help us give them the best time on camp. 

It's Your Move 
WSM were delighted to be asked to partner with the It's Your Move team in Bradley Stoke again this year. The assembly team from Holy Trinity Bradley Stoke, Bradley Stoke Evangelical and St Chads, Patchway have been visiting the local primary schools over the years. They had invited them in to wish them well, help prepare them for secondary school and give them an opportunity to meet with other children going to their new school. Last week we spent time with 340 primary school leavers in their activities and workshops. 120 children signed up to join us play cricket and football. It was a highlight to see them remember stories and characteristics taught by the assembly team and a great opportunity to remind them that Jesus is alive in their lives.
 

CST Meetings
The Bristol team meets every other Monday to plan, pray and socialise. The next meeting is Monday July 28th. If you would like to come along and hear how God is directing the team in sport ministry post Games please email akeel a_t worldsportministries d_o_t com or phone: 0117 353-3153

PRAYER SUPPORT: * Pray that people from local churches and communities would be generous in giving their time and treasure to our camps and that they would be open to having an opportunity to encounter God in a new and exciting way.
