Introduction

A good Evangelism and Discipleship plan will help the Sports Outreach Organization understand how it will achieve its Mission and Vision by way of seeking God. Assisting people by first inviting God into their lives is the main strategy of the organization. The Bible is the book of 2 Corinthians 10:

The Sports Outreach Evangelism and Discipleship plan will help in the youths' orientation and show them where they are as far as their spiritual journey is concerned (Li, 2016). It will also guide them to their next step as they overcome the challenges that exist among them. The following terms will be clarified in the plan:

i. The evangelism and discipleship pathway.

ii. The stages that are involved in the pathway and building a good relationship with Jesus Christ.

iii. How the youth should walk with Jesus Christ during the sports outreach journey.

iv. The vision of the Evangelism Plan will help in attaining the goals of the Sports Organization.

The Key Aspects of the Evangelism and Discipleship Plan

i. The Evangelism and Discipleship plan map will serve as the literal map for the entire action plan. It will show where the youths are in the spiritual journey and outline the steps, they will follow in moving forward with the Sports Outreach Program.

ii. A booklet that will be titled "Evangelism and Discipleship Action Plan." This booklet will give insight and the details for well-wishers and different churches to guide the youth to navigate their journey in Christ.

iii. A Vision Statement: Seeking God so that He can accept us and build us to be Christ-like and make one family with Him. This Vision statement will help in implementing the action plan. The youth will be shown to prioritize and give their lives to Jesus Christ, who is their savior.

iv. The Structure and framework will show the direction in which the Evangelism and Discipleship plan will follow to achieve its Mission (Caro, 2017).

At some point, the Sports Outreach Organization will organize crusades in the rural areas to help connect sport with God. Joining the youth in these relationships, vertically with God and vertically with their fellow youths who God has brought them in their lives, is essential for the Sports Organization's Vision's success. The Sport Organization seeks to form Christians who will consume only but invest their lives in helping others as they move on (Allotta, 2018).

The Evangelism and Discipleship Plan will help the members of the Sports Organization to:

i. Fully and joyfully engage in worshiping under the grace of Lord Jesus Christ.

ii. Abide and build a maturity friendship with God by devoting in Scriptures and prayer.

iii. Make their spiritual journey admirable and one that will reflect their growing faith.

iv. Be compassionate and caring to one another, have sacrificial love, and be generous in the times of helping each other.

v. Unleash hope and mercy to others and build long-term friendships.

vi. Maintain the mentality of a team player and be Christ-centered and God-dependent.

vii. Live a prayerful life in seeking to help neighbors and those who are in their sphere of influence. This will make them live as a warrior for others, Christians and non-Christians.

viii. Have empathy by seeking to understand and knowing why their peers believe in what they do. They will also be able to make themselves understood.
