MORE THAN GOLD
|
| WHAT IS MORE THAN GOLD? |
"More Than Gold" is the theme that
churches and agencies are
partnering together
on utilizing the same literature,
videos
and other resources during
major multi-sport
events such as the Commonwealth
Games, Pan
Am Games, and the Olympics.
To the athlete in these
events, the phrase
"More than Gold"
means he or she
has prepared long years
to achieve success
in winning a gold medal-and
all that goes
with it. To hundreds of
gold medalists who
have made a personal commitment
to Jesus
Christ, though, the phrase
means something
far more important. It
means they realize
that their faith is worth
More than Gold
(1 Peter 1:7). These Olympians
or athletes
are choosing to partner
with churches and
ministries in every country-with
this goal:
To let every person know
that although they
desire a gold medal, their
faith is worth
More than Gold.
