He founded Sports Spectrum Magazine, a bi-monthly print magazine that features the testimony of Christian athletes, and the Super Bowl Party Halftime Outreach Party Kit used by churches in conjunction with their evangelistic outreach programs.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or ministry:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“The State has but one face for me: that of the police. To my eyes, all of the State’s ministries have this single face, and I cannot imagine the ministry of culture other than as the police of culture, with its prefect and commissioners.”
—Jean Dubuffet (1901–1985)
