The student will write a 3–5 page research-based paper in current APA format that focuses on the topic provided within Blackboard. All assignments are required to include a title page and reference page at the end of the paper.

Incorporating ideas from Chapter 1 in the Corbett & Fikkert textbook, answer the following 2 questions:

1. Why go? Why reach out and minister to people from other countries and cultures? Provide at least 1 Scripture reference for support.

a. The focus with this particular question is for you to understand the necessity of ministering to others and to understand the different cultures that exist in the world. You need to review and study global ministry and various cultures prior to writing this assignment. By understanding the global culture, it will improve your writing of why go?

2. Why sport? Explain how sport can be used to support your reasons from question 1 and provide 1 tangible example in support of your assertions.

a. As many of know and are aware, sport is a powerful tool used to connect millions of people around the world. If sport is so powerful in connecting people, why can’t Christianity be the same? For this question, focus on how sport creates a unified vision and culture amongst people.

b. Combine sport and ministry to describe the efforts of sport ministry on a global scale. Be sure and provide examples of practice that are currently in use.

Exploring Sport Ministry is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 2.
