Become a cheerleader for those in your school, campus ministry or youth group who play sports. Have your youth group make shirts with that person(s) name and number on the front or back. Attend home games together and support that person. This is a great way to encourage and support your Christian brothers and sisters.

Ministry Target: Students

Who To Talk To:

•Youth Minister: about encouraging and empowering the youth group for this ministry; helping and to organize the ministry.

•Youth Group: to encourage them to participate. To identify students that play sports, getting details and game schedules.

What You Will Need:

•T-shirts

•Paint

•Brushes

•Pencils

•Person’s number

•Teams’ game schedules

Tips/Suggestions:

•Make sure to do this for all the sports people in your youth group. You can also extend this to other events such as band/choir contests or concerts, or other clubs or other activities people are involved in.

•Get pictures of the mascot or use school colors for the shirts as well.

•Cardboard to put under t-shirt so paint does not go through to the other side

•Introduce your school friends to your church friends and to your youth minister.
