“The Mark” sports camp Bible theme is based on Paul’s exhortation to young Timothy when he said, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” (1 Timothy 4:12)

The original Greek word used here for “example” has several meanings. Here are some of them: a) the mark of a stroke or blow, print, b) a figure formed by a blow or impression, c) an example to be imitated.

The language Paul is using here is that when the Gospel has truly impacted a believer’s life, a real visible mark will be seen in that person’s life. It will be evident. There will be a figure formed by that blow or impression.

This Greek word is the exact same word John uses in John 20:25 when he describes Thomas’ response to the other disciples after the resurrection of Jesus. The disciples told Thomas, “We have seen the Lord!” and Thomas’ response is: “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.” Thomas is saying that he needed to see the mark left by those nails in Jesus’ hands when he was crucified to truly believe that Jesus had risen from the dead. Not long after, Thomas would see those marks left by the nails with his very own eyes, and it changed Thomas. Thomas himself was marked from that day forward.

In life it’s easy to get caught up in playing for the approval and the opinions of others, but in the end, it’s not our scoffers or critics by whom we will be judged, only God. This book offers 52 weekly devotions for what it looks like to play for an audience One—to seek first the approval of God over all other voices and influences in our lives.

This doesn’t mean you have no affinity or accountability to your teammates, coaches, family members, or neighbors. Playing for the audience of One means those relationships will be more deeply impacted by the fact that you are playing for a bigger purpose—the chief aim being to please your God and bring Him alone the glory in your life. Playing for an audience of One means you will bring honor to your godly leaders, while ignoring the critics, the haters, and those who are not in your corner. It will even entail overcoming your most difficult opponent: yourself (your fears, your insecurities, your doubts, your lack of confidence). None of these need to get the final word in your performance or the spiritual marathon you are running. By playing for an audience of One, you choose to put God first over all others, including those inner voices that speak contrary to God’s best intentions and His ultimate reign over your life.

Each devo comes with a prayer and questions for personal reflection or group discussion, fitting for athletes, coaches, parents of athletes, and sports ministry leaders who work with athletes. The format of the devos also work well for fostering devotional times and gospel sharing at sports camps/clinics during mission trips.

Breakaway Outreach UK partners with local churches across the UK to develop sustainable outreach that goes beyond a single event. Our American Sports Camps are designed to help churches connect with young people, strengthen volunteer teams, and build long-term pathways for discipleship and community impact.

Why American Sports Camps Work

Sports create an instant bridge—especially for young people who might never attend a church program. American sports bring a fresh, high-energy format that captures attention and creates a welcoming environment where relationships can grow.

But the real goal isn’t a “great week.”
It’s a stronger church outreach strategy that keeps going when the camp ends.

What We Help Churches Build

Our camps are more than an outreach event—they’re a ministry tool churches can repeat, grow, and own over time. We help churches build:

• Community trust through consistent presence and positive engagement
• Volunteer confidence through training, coaching, and clear roles
• Youth connections that become ongoing relationships, not one-time contacts
• Follow-up pathways that link camp families to church life and discipleship
• Local leadership development so churches can lead future outreach with strength

What a Partnership Can Look Like

• Every church and community is different, so we tailor the approach. A partnership may include:
• American Sports Camp (flag football, basketball, ultimate, baseball-style games, and more)
• Volunteer training and coaching support
• Outreach planning and strategy support
• Discipleship and follow-up templates (simple, repeatable, youth-friendly)
• Cross-cultural exchange opportunities where appropriate

Our Goal

To help churches build outreach systems that are:
repeatable, relational, locally led, and gospel-centered.

When sport opens the door, relationships are built.
When relationships are built, trust grows.
And when trust grows, the gospel can be heard in a way that feels safe and real.

Ready to Build Something That Lasts?

If your church wants to reach young people and families in your community with a strategy that continues beyond one week, we’d love to connect.

Throughout scripture we find God calling out “Playmakers” to make a difference in their world. Nowhere in the Gospels do we see Jesus calling his disciples to partial obedience or halfhearted devotion. Playmakers are those who give everything they have and leave it all on the field to change the game for others.

This graphics kit is fitting for a sports camp theme, sports ministry teaching concept, youth camps, VBS theme, Bible camp theme, young adult Bible study theme, Super Bowl outreach, or church sermon series theme.

Tony Dungy’s words and example have intrigued millions of people, particularly following his victory in Super Bowl XLI, the first for an African American coach. How is it possible for a coach—especially a football coach—to win the respect of his players and lead them to the Super Bowl without the screaming histrionics, the profanities, and the demand that the sport come before anything else? How is it possible for anyone to be successful without compromising faith and family?

As a devout follower of Jesus Christ, Dungy has earned widespread respect both on and off the field due to what many see as strong convictions and high personal standards of ethics and behavior, which affect his behavior as both a coach and as a member of his community. He has been active in many community service organizations in the cities in which he has coached. While coaching in Tampa Bay, Dungy worked as a public speaker for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action.

He began a mentoring program for young people called Mentors for Life, and provided Buccaneers’ tickets for the participants. He also supported other charitable programs in the area such as Big Brothers/Big Sisters, Boys and Girls Club, the Prison Crusade Ministry, foster parenting organizations, and Family First. His community involvement and care continues in Indianapolis where Tony helped launch the Basket of Hope program which aids patients at the Riley Hospital for Children.

Regi has experienced the highs and lows of life. Raised in a Christian home, Regi learned values, morals and a biblical faith. Though he grew up in the church, it wasn’t enough to keep him from the luring temptations common to most college campuses.

Regi was a standout athlete at North Marion High School in Ocala, Florida, where he earned a basketball scholarship to Sam Houston State University in Texas. Going from his small Florida town to the big city of Houston was an enormous culture shock to the young athlete.

Though he had never touched drugs or alcohol before his college days, the peer pressure to experiment with them became a powerful enticement. Deeming it a harmless social drug, Regi started smoking marijuana at college parties and other get-togethers. But his quest for an occasional “high” didn’t stop there.

While at Sam Houston, Regi earned All-Conference and All-America honors his sophomore year. His aspirations of playing professional basketball took a sharp turn when he injured his knee during a pick-up game.

Having staked his entire future on his athletic abilities, his sudden setbacks led him into a state of depression. It was during this time that Regi turned to cocaine which eventually progressed into a deadly crack addiction. On a path to self-destruction, the hardwood superstar found himself on the wrong side of the law trying to support his habit. This ultimately landed him in a Florida state prison.

While incarcerated, Regi began to understand that his “biggest problem wasn’t a drug problem, it was a sin problem.” Being an avid church member growing up with perfect Sunday School attendance, he could see where his rebellion began long before his experimentation with drugs in college, it started as a kid when he made basketball his god, describing it as a form of idolatry.

During his prison term, Regi dedicated his life to Christ and made his priorities twofold; cultivating an intimate relationship with God and contributing to the advancement of His kingdom. Ten years after being released from prison, Regi says his life-mission is all about showing kids a way out of a troubled past and into a relationship with Christ.

Regi’s story is a perfect outreach resource for juvenile detention centers, urban youth ministry, and a stunning reminder for any Christian young person the progressive repercussions of giving in to peer pressure. A must have resource for every church youth group and Christian student going off to college!

In 2001, he began creating his artistic, extreme ATV customs. Today, he has earned the respect as a top designer and builder in the ATV industry having his custom quads showcased in magazines, events, and television shows all over the globe.

Perhaps his finest work was the Indianapolis Colts Suzuki LT-R450 that he built to commemorate the Colts’ Super Bowl win in 2006. That quad was unveiled at the Indy Dealer Expo in 2007 and later purchased by Lucas Oil and is a permanent fixture at Lucas Oil Stadium for every Colts home game.

But Quinn’s passion runs deeper than merely building and racing quads. His real passion is all about reaching people with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Quinn is a part of the Breakaway Outreach ministry reaching troubled teens in juvenile detention centers through high-energy ATV stunt shows. He also ministers at Nascar events and other outreach venues all over the country.

The Outta Control DVD features Quinn’s personal faith-journey mixed with thrilling race footage, mind-blowing ATV stunts, and a riveting message of the hope that God offers every person through the redemption of Jesus Christ.

Former NFL coach Tony Dungy also makes a cameo on the DVD.
