Hi Friends!

We are counting down the days until Go4Glory begins in Harpenden, England. We’ve recently made plans for all Go4Glory participants to go into the Merton community with “Party in the Park” on July 22^nd from 3 - 8 pm, where each of us has the opportunity to perform, demonstrate and interact.  This event is done in partnership with many of the local churches in Merton.  We will provide transportation for this integral part of our calling as arts & sports ministries – displaying His glory!
 
Sports update

We are currently in the middle of the European Championship, one of the major soccer tournaments that is held every 4 years, and in just over a month the London Olympics begin. Sport is all around us - on the front page of all the news.  The boundaries between sport and art are intertwining: athletes are rock stars and rock stars are athletes; artwork is on display, even on footballers’ bodies! Sports and arts are all about celebration.

This summer Go4Glory aims to capture what is going on in the world of sport and how it opens doors to express our faith and excel in our gifts. Our times of networking, playing and competing, as well as plunging into seminars, will highlight the very latest in sport and mission thinking.

Coach Powers & HPI team

“Coach” Tim Powers will be offering training sessions every morning and leading workshops at Go4Glory. He has provided training and consulting to athletic team members from numerous Division I college teams, the National Football League, Major League Baseball, various Olympic team athletes and NASCAR in the USA.
Coach Powers and the HPI Team (Human Performance Instruction) will do various training workouts each morning including dynamic warm-ups, sprint mechanics, plyometrics, footwork precision, agility movement patterns and power endurance runs.  They will also present a clinic on "Sports Speed Development," to give Go4Glory participants a taste of how Olympians train.

 
If you still haven’t registered to be part of Go 4 Glory it’s not too late.  Go to www.go4glory.org and register online.   You can register for our accommodation and meal option and pay online or organize your own elsewhere.  We’ll help you with visa letters and give you any assistance you need.  So far we have over 40 seminars and workshops registered for you to learn from the experts.  If you want to display your ministry or sell your merchandise you can book an Expo table online also.  There will be plenty of opportunities for you to perform, exhibit or just hang out with other artists and athletes at the Creative Lounge cafe.  We can’t wait to meet you and hear your story about how the Lord brought you to Go 4 Glory.

Training for a Sports Ministry in YWAM? "It was eye opening for me to see how many opportunities there are in sports ministry" "I learned that sport is more than a powerful ministry tool" "It was so practical and easy to teach biblical values through sports activities."   These are some comments after a recent sports seminar in YWAM. In University of the Nations, we are developing a second level sports schools of 12 weeks and multiple seminars up to 6 weeks to equip you to do sports ministry. At Go4Glory you will hear the latest news about upcoming schools and seminars. You will also meet others who are doing sports ministry so we can all learn from each other. Come join us for “Sports Ministry training” workshop and other sports activities to find out more!

WORSHIP @ G4G Each morning during Go4Glory we'll set the tone for our day with an extended time of worship.  We want to keep the focus upon God and listen to His heart, so we've prioritised this time for all the participants to come around His throne with one voice and one heart. Lucio & Dina Santana (Brazil) are planning times of multicultural worship and worship expressions.  They are looking for a few musicians and others who are interested in expressing worship on stage with visual art, sports, dance, flags, etc.  If you are already registered and would be willing to offer your service in worship, please contact Lucio & Dina at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Prayer Points That the Lord will call in all the Artists and Athletes He wants to be part of G4G and MTG That everyone will have their finances, obtain their visas and get the best flights available to participate in these events That the team of event managers in London will have the favour, time and resources they need to pull these events together For the practical side of the registrations to go smoothly Pray for unity as all generations and nations come together for Go 4 Glory. May all those denominations and mission organisations working on Go 4 Glory and More Than Gold see His purposes fulfilled and lives touched by His Spiritst deadline will see all the artist and venue applications completed so the team will have God's wisdom to make plans
