Would you please prayerfully consider financially supporting the work that God has called us to, whether that is just ten minutes down the road or on the other side of the world? These twelve days are suggestions on how you can help us Impact the world with the Gospel.

Day 3 - Christmas Camp Scholarship
Each Christmas Break, we hold a 2-day basketball camp for grades 3-8. We teach basic fundamentals of basketball while also incorporating games, excellent instruction, & competitions. Most importantly though, we have the chance each day to clearly Share the Good News of Jesus.
Day 7 - Team Apparel
As we travel internationally or to prison, we need gear for our trip participants. This could be hats or jerseys for our prison teams. It is also apparel that adds to our professionalism and legitimacy to minister in restricted places as we train & compete against local, regional or national teams.
Day 11 - Prison Weekend
Since 2007, we’ve visited more than 30 different prisons in 5 different states to share the Gospel playing basketball, softball and volleyball. We have had the privilege to share Jesus with more than 8,000 inmates and seen more than 1,100 of them find freedom in Christ! The average cost of one of these weekend trips is $150.
Day 2 - Meal at Basketball Tournament
Every Thanksgiving week, we host the Impact Sports High School Basketball Invitational. On the middle night of the tournament, we are able to feed, fellowship with the teams, and share the Gospel. We have shared the Truth with thousands of athletes and coaches, and seen more than 400 give their lives to Jesus!
Day 4 - Utterly Amazed
In 2021, John Andrews published Utterly Amazed: Stories From Outside the Boat. Since, he has released a Study Guide & a series of videos. Hundreds of people have walked through these with their small group or church. We are honored to hear story after story of how God has changed people's lives.
Day 8 - Podcast Sponsor
“I Say All That To Say This”, hosted by John Andrews, has more than 90 episodes and is listened to in over 15 countries & 25 states. We interview guests who share a similar heart or mission for the Gospel. We have also begun using this platform as a way to encourage our listeners with a weekly devotion.
Day 12 - Hoop Coalition Starter Pack
Impact Sports just recently joined forces with Hoop Coalition. Hoop Coalition seeks to build relationships through basketball, while simultaneously introducing them to Jesus. We are working on a "starter pack" to equip local churches to reach their city through the gym! In this pack, a local partner will find all they need to have a consistent weekly basketball ministry in their gym.
