THE MARK: Sports Ministry Theme https://resources.breakawayoutreach.com/the-mark-sports-camp-bible/ Thu, 15 May 2025 14:23:51 +0000 https://resources.breakawayoutreach.com/?p=11917 The MARK: Sports camp Bible theme based on Paul's exhortation to young Timothy to be an example in the faith.

The Mark

“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.

  • DAY 1: Be an Example in Speech
  • DAY 2: Be an Example in Conduct
  • DAY 3: Be an Example in Love
  • DAY 4: Be an Example in Faith
  • DAY 5: Be an Example in Purity

Includes:

  • Bible Discussion Guides for Leaders (5 Sessions)
  • Object Lessons & Illustrations
  • Printable Playbook (handouts for youths)
  • Logo Files & 4K Media Graphics
  • T-Shirt Logo Design

Playmakers

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.

  • PSD and PNG logo file for custom editing

  • PDF exterior shell for church bulletins and worship guides

  • PowerPoint template and ProPresenter slides

  • 4K hi-def graphics for banners, flyers, inserts, and promos

  • Cutsom banner for website and/or social media platforms

On The Rebound: Basketball Ministry Resource https://resources.breakawayoutreach.com/otr-basketball-ministry-resource/ Sun, 15 Jun 2014 17:06:40 +0000 http://www.breakawayoutreach.com/2014/?p=41 Regi’s story is a relevant outreach resource for basketball ministry, juvenile detention centers, urban youth ministry, and recovery programs.

How does a standout athlete go from All-America college basketball star to All-D.O.C. (Department of Corrections)? That’s the question Regi Harris answers in On The Rebound, a gripping story of how a boy who grew up in church can find himself in a lonely prison cell by making a few seemingly harmless decisions to fit in with the crowd.

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.

Teaser video below:

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!

He then went on to become a two-time ATV racing champion in Extreme Dirt Track Nationals.

In this ATV racing outreach video, Quinn Michael shares about his life-changing experience while incarcerated over fifteen years ago. After giving his life to Christ in a jail cell, Quinn went on to become a two-time ATV racing champion in the Extreme Dirt Track Nationals.

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.
