prayed for this outreach!\u00a0 As I told you before, some of our present-day church planters have been reached for Christ and entered our Bible Institute as a result of the sports evangelism programs in several of our Churches like Timau.<\/p>\n<p>Another Church which uses this profitable tool is Crossroads Baptist Church in Rumuruti.\u00a0 Pastor John Longisa has had a passion for reaching youth this way for many years. \u00a0 <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-954\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jerrydaniels.org\/ad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Water-300x225.jpeg\"
