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
• Schools 
• Youth Cafes
