Youth and children

In the months leading up to the 2012 Games children and young people will be bombarded with Olympic and sports messages – in lessons, through advertising, on television and more.

Their world and that of the Olympics will become inseparable. And this opens the way for churches to use the interest and enthusiasm of children to share the message of Jesus.

The vast possibilities include –

• Holiday clubs
• Sports clinics
• School assemblies
• After school clubs
• The curriculum itself 

Closer to the Games a wide range of resources and help on the Olympic theme will be available to those working with children and young people - especialy in the context of schools.
