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:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“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)
