Giving the Gospel Thru Golf
We are thankful to conduct our second golf event with our home church, New Vision Baptist of Murfreesboro, TN. You can see the way in which we will be implementing this years' events by clicking here, but, we wanted to further expand on what this tournament and golf league are aimed at accomplishing.
The League is About Fellowship & Mentorship
Golf leagues are great fun and are activities that, in this instance, bring men together to participate in an activity that they enjoy and which exposes men to each others' lives in a unique way. The tourney and league are designed to bring two men together to learn more about each other, but, to explore more deeply their lives as Believers in Jesus Christ.
How will we do this?
We're asking men in our church community to participate in the league, but, we're also asking them to invite a partner to participate with them in the league from March through May. Golf is a great social tool, but, just playing a round and a having a snack/lunch, but, how can we engage in this time together in order to grow in the knowledge of our Lord, Jesus Christ?? You see, that's the objective of our lives as men of God, isn't it? When we apply Matthew 28:18-20 to our lives in the 21st century, wouldn't that include using unique fellowship tools like golf to engage in these life-giving growth opportunities?
So, our tourney was the introduction and genesis of our outreach golf event and the golf league is a continuation of the relationship-building experience between two men playing golf together and growing in the knowledge of God.

We'll use a great tool to help guide this. The tool is the Wally Armstrong/Ken Blanchard book and video series called; "The Mulligan".
More on this in our next post as well as the schedule and conduct of the league. Stay tuned.
Thanks so much;
